Gold Northumberland Ambassador, and Regional Marketing Manager of our sister site, Cottages in Northumberland, Leah, has this to say about Craster:

“For me and my adventurous young pup, Craster is Northumberland at its best. The dog-friendly loop around Dunstanburgh Castle feels wild yet effortless, with The Jolly Fisherman pub waiting for us at the end."

After long walkies along the coast or countryside and enjoying some delicious food, nothing beats returning to a welcoming retreat where Fido can enjoy a well-earned snooze or a play in the enclosed garden.
