This coastal cottage is a brilliant choice for a seaside holiday with your four-legged friends. It’s in pretty Craster, around 500 metres from the harbour and even nearer to the village’s renowned kipper smokehouse. With sea views from many of its windows and the Northumberland Coast Path only 150 metres away, you can look forward to long and scenic dog walks straight out your front door. The bright and cheerful home has space for six guests, and two dogs are welcome, making it ideal for families or groups of friends.

On arrival, step through the glazed front door into an entrance hallway for leaving shoes, coats and dog leads. This leads to the sunroom and main living spaces. In the open-plan kitchen/diner, you can gather around the table, with French doors leading directly into the rear garden – perfect for letting dogs wander out under watchful eyes. The lounge is cosy and welcoming with a corner sofa, Smart TV and wood burner for keeping you and your pets cosy on cooler evenings. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms: two king-size, one of which has sea views and an en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom with side sea views. A glossy family bathroom completes the indoor space. Outside, there’s a landscaped rear garden with a decked dining area, children’s play space and a summerhouse, plus a lawned front garden. You’ll have driveway parking for one car, with additional on-street parking subject to availability.

For day trips, Alnwick (7.5 miles) has lovely gardens to explore, while Bamburgh (15.5 miles) promises sweeping dunes and an iconic castle overlooking one of the region’s most spectacular beaches – dogs are welcome to join you in the grounds.

Crab Tree Cottage was excellent. We felt very at home as soon as we arrived and thought Craster was delightful.

The cottage is excellent. Great standard and particularly good for families. The view across the sea from the sun lounge is terrific and we would not hesitate in booking again.

Very well equipped house in a beautiful location right next to the coastal path. Lots of lovely spaces to sit and enjoy the view. Perfect enclosed back garden, ideal for dogs/ children. Beds were comfy and the house was spotless, we'd love to come back!

This is a lovely and surprisingly spacious house in a really nice village, you can see the Sea from the lounge window. A lovely pub and coffee shop within 5 mins walk. The local beach walks are amazing. Really enjoyed our stay.

A well appointed property that provided us with all we needed on our family holiday. The property has been stylishly upgraded and well planned in particular the open plan kitchen diner and the high spec finish on the ensuite room. Spacious bedrooms were great. Quiet room to the front was lovely to relax in and gaze out to sea in a morning. PropertyRead more was well equipped and gave us all we could have wanted in a holiday home. The hamper was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Hide

We found Crabcake Cottage last year, and liked it because it was well set up for children, with toys, books and a swing in the back garden. Its also right by the play area in Craster. Excellent for a family holiday- so we came back in 2025

Good location, view and parking on drive. Well equipped and a lovely welcome basket. The Jolly Fisherman was worth a visit.

We have stayed at Crabcake many times and I cant really add much to our previous reviews. Suffice to say we rarely visit cottages more than a couple of times but this has become a home from home for our family. We love the location, the sea views and the pub in the village. Our granddaughter loves the play park and the rock pools. The cottage is waRead morerm, nicely decorated and furnished and is always spotlessly clean. The enclosed garden is ideal for our dogs. Danny is an excellent host and always responds to any queries immediately. Im sure we will be visiting again soon. Hide

Weve been holidaying in Northumberland for the last 10 years and not found a reason to stop yet. Always have at least one lunch at The Jolly Fisherman so decided to stay in Craster this time. Crabcake Cottage is in a great location, spotlessly clean and very thoughtfully equipped. Danny was very helpful, communication excellent and welcome hamper dRead moreelicious! Would definitely recommend a stay here. Hide
