St John

“A beautiful place to stay, with a view out over the North sea from the upstairs lounge window.”

Facilities were excellent and it was a great base from which to explore the delights of Northumbria, Embleton, Alnmouth, Alnwick, Dunstanborough Castle and Warkworth to name a few. TV a little complicated to work and connection fees associated with some of the more popular channels (Amazon Prime and Netflix for example), but other than that a lovely, warm and comfortable place to stay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Dr Usher. It sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring and we are glad you appreciated the facilities on offer at the house. Regarding the TV’s they are all Smart TV’s and you need your own account to access them and use them, (ie Netflix, Amazon). We hope you stay with us again. Best Wishes Phil & Abi Property Owner
Lucy July 2024

“A lovely house on the beautiful Northumbrian coast.”

Very clean and well kitted out. We loved being able to walk to the beach- the house is nice and private but in easy reach of everything. We would love to come back to Summer Rose soon!

- Lucy, July 2024

Hi Lucy, thank you for your lovely review. It’s sounds like you had a great time exploring the local area. We hope you can come back again next year. Best Wishes, Phil & Abi. Property Owner

Summer Rose Properties LTD January 2024

“We love staying at Summer Rose, this is third time we have stayed, the house is always immaculately clean when we arrive and has everything we need for our holiday.”

My two young children love the bunk room with TV and watching the waves from the lounge. Craster is a fantastic village, we enjoyed the walks to the castle, obviously going to the Jolly Fisherman again and lots of dog walks on the beaches. This is house is a perfect base for a family based holiday in the North East, we would definitely recommend it to all.

- Summer Rose Properties LTD, January 2024

Hi Abi, thank you for your recommendation, it’s much appreciated. Great to welcome you and your family back to Northumberland again. It sounds like you all had a fabulous time. Best Wishes, Phil Property Owner
Helen December 2023

“Beautiful location & accommodation.”

Everything we needed. Loved the sea views from the lounge.

- Helen, December 2023

Hi Helen, it’s great that you enjoyed the house in Craster. We love the sea views too in winter. With thanks, Phil & Abi Property Owner
Penny October 2023

“The welcome pack wasn’t as advertised, other than that a fabulous place to stay & hopefully will be back”

- Penny, October 2023

Hi Penny, we have changed cleaners recently who supply a different welcome pack, which I think is what you are referring to from the pictures. We are glad you found the house fabulous and hope to welcome you back next year. Best Wishes Phil & Abi Property Owner
Adrian August 2023

“Lovely house, with views of the harbour from the living area windows.”

Well equipped kitchen, complimentary dog treats were a nice touch. The beds are very comfortable and the garden was well kept and a nice place to relax after a busy day sightseeing.

- Adrian, August 2023

Hi Adrian, many thanks for your feedback, it sounds like you had a great time at the house exploring Northumberland. Glad the dogs enjoyed the treats. We hope you come back next year. Best Wishes Abi and Phil. Property Owner
Rachel July 2023

“We had a great holiday.”

The house was a home from home and the location was perfect!

- Rachel, July 2023

Hi Rachel, thanks for leaving us some great feedback, the location is perfect for exploring Northumberland I agree. Best Wishes Phil & Abi. Property Owner
Tracey June 2023

“We all had a fantastic time at house.”

Very comfortable. Brilliant for the dogs as fully enclosed garden. The only thing lacking was better outdoor furniture to sit in the sun. Also would definitely NOT recommend The Jolly Fisherman for dinner as was pure rip off. Brilliant location for fantastic walks . House well equipped

- Tracey, June 2023

Hi Tracey, thanks for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed staying at the house and hope to welcome you back next year. Best Wishes Phil & Abi. Property Owner
Sarah June 2023

“House was as expected, biggest let down of the week was no fault against the owner but the generator running full time on the street outside the close, was a small nightmare, you could hear it, even though closed windows (which it was way too hot for) and you could feel it vibrating as well, whilst laid in bed at night, you lost the quietness of the remote village we were after.”

Previous bookings had gone off with the Amazon Alexa device, kitchen soap and had put away dirty oven trays which was disappointing, but the house was well stocked with everything else and clean. We also had the madness of a film crew taking over the village for most of the week 7am-6pm, with road closures, coaches of extras, drums, morris dancers, and fire etc, it was quite entertaining.

- Sarah, June 2023

Hi Sarah, thanks for leaving some feedback for us, unfortunately during your stay the majority of the Craster area had continuous power cuts that we had to deal with for some time. I’m glad you found the house well stocked and clean and we hope to welcome you again soon. Best Wishes Abi and Phil. Property Owner
Malcolm May 2023

“A lovely well maintained property in an excellent location.”

Plenty of thought gone into making your stay as comfortable as possible-plenty of kitchen utensils , games for entertainment etc. Would definitely recommend for both adults and families alike.

- Malcolm, May 2023

Hi Malcom, thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the house and hope to welcome you back again next year. Best Wishes Phil & Abi Property Owner
Abigail January 2023

“An amazing property, wonderfully located in Craster, with great views out towards the sea.”

The house is a great base for visiting other parts of Northumberland, we always finished our day off with dinner at the Jolly Fisherman which is lovely and very dog friendly. The house itself was really well equipped (we were a party of 8) and my youngest two loved the bunk beds. TV’s in every room, comfy beds and sofas and nicely decorated, like a home from home really. Thank you for the welcome pack, it’s always nice to arrive to some Prosecco. We will definitely be back in the summer. Thank you

- Abigail, January 2023

Hi Abi, thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in Northumberland and hope you come back next year. Best Wishes Property Owner
Paul December 2022

“Craster is our favourite location in Northumberland, and Summer Rose is positioned perfectly in the village.”

The house was very clean and well presented with everything we needed for our family New Year stay. A view of the Harbour and sea from the Living Room window, and a 2 minute walk to the centre of the village was a perfect setting. We will definateley be returning to Summer Rose.

- Paul, December 2022

Hi Paul, thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed the house and Craster itself. Sounds like you had a great time. Look forward to seeing you again. Best Wishes Phil and Abi. Property Owner
David September 2022

“People with dogs should be told there is only one exit in the house and that is through the patio doors of the double bedroom.”

So a mat would be good when it is wet outside. You can go out the front door and go through the side gate. Also had to report that the centre of the microwave was missing, so this stopped the plate from revolving. This was reported at the time.

- David, September 2022

Hi David, thanks for your feedback, we will get the microwave looked at. We always welcome dogs at our house but would always expect them to go into the garden via the side gate rather than the through the master bedroom. Best Wishes Phil & Abi. Property Owner
Tim September 2022

“Due to illness my wife and I were unable to go However our daughter and partner +dog did They were very pleased with SUMMER ROSE and really enjoyed their holiday.”

All being well will book again for 2023 A big THANK YOU to the property owner and your staff for the service provided William 'Tim' Wildermoth ------------------------------------------------------ (Will you please note the following 2 problerms Fan in the en-suite not working Rotary clothes line in garden broken )

- Tim, September 2022

Hi William, thank you for your feedback, it's great that your daughter enjoyed her holiday we are sorry that you and your wife were not able to travel and hope to see you next year. I will let the management company know about the repairs you mentioned. Best Wishes Phil & Abi. Property Owner
Linda September 2022

“A very comfortable "upside down" house,as my wife called it.”

Lovely view of the sea through the top right hand side window..The sellers have thought of everything you need for a comfortable family vacation.We hope to stay again in the not so distant future.thank you.

- Linda, September 2022

Hi Linda, thanks so much for your kind review. Our house is indeed an upside down house, it allows for better views and more family space upstairs. Hopefully you will come back next year. Best Wishes Phil & Abi. Property Owner
Pip August 2022

“We had a lovely stay in Summer Rose in Craster.”

The close proximity to the harbour make this an ideal spot to enjoy the rock pools and the gorgeous walk to Dunstanborough Castle. The house was ideal for the five of us (two adults, two children under twelve and our cockapoo). We would love to come again - thank you.

- Pip, August 2022

Hi Dr Pip, thank you so much for your kind feedback. We would love to welcome you back in the future. Best Wishes Phil & Abi. Property Owner

Judith May 2022

“The ideal location - a few minutes from the coastal path or walks over the fields without having to drive - perfect with a dog!”

The house is lovely and spacious, and very well equipped, even down to an extension cable allowing device charging easily (that was a first!). Could do with hooks on the bathroom doors (we both have hanging washbags) and a few more pegs, and the info book was very comprehensive but as dogs are allowed the details of the nearest vet would have been good. These are the only things we thought in the whole week - the property was really good and I have already passed details on to dog-walking chums who are considering Northumberland!

- Judith, May 2022
Ian March 2022

“Very well presented and comfortable accommodation.”

Everything felt bright, airy, fresh and clean. We were impressed by the quality of the fittings and how well the house was equipped. Everything we could possibly want was there. The location was perfect for exploring the Northumberland coast. Thank you!

- Ian, March 2022

Drear Ian, thank you so much for your generous feedback, we are always looking at ways to improve the house so people enjoy their stay. Glad you had a great holiday and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best Wishes Phil & Abi. Property Owner
Abigail December 2021

“Wow, what an incredible property, the owners have gone to every effort to make this a comfortable stay.”

We loved the open plan upstairs, which was great for family meals and lazy days on the super comfy sofas, with great views out towards the sea. Huge amount of board games, quality mattresses which you don’t usually get in holiday homes. I could go on. Craster is an amazing location for families, the Jolly Fisherman was fabulous and there are so many places to explore on the coast which the owners left information on. Highly recommended to all and we will definitely be back.

- Abigail, December 2021

Dear Abi, thank you so much for your kind feedback. It was great that your family enjoyed all the little extras, we have also just installed NOW TV with Sky Sports for our guests. Have a great Christmas and we look forward to welcoming you back for a week in July 22. Best Wishes Phil Property Owner

J July 2021

“Summer Rose is a beautiful house comfortable & well stocked for self catering & minutes from the harbour at Craster.”

Lovely walk along the cliff top to Embleton beach. Short drive to Beadnell beach & Bamburgh. All the beaches are stunning. Interesting for kids of all ages, rock climbing & rock pooling. Great play park minutes from the house in Craster is great for kids of all ages with a football pitch alongside. We will definitely return.

- J, July 2021

Thank you Mrs Mudd for your lovely feedback, it sounds like you had a great time exploring the area. We hope to see you again soon. Best Wishes Phil & Abi Property Owner

Edward June 2021

“Lights in bedroom could be improved for reading we were a bit worried about bumping in to canopy over cooker bigger dessert and serving spoons needed.”

Butt overall excellent

- Edward, June 2021

Hi Edward, thanks for your feedback. I agree with you regarding the oven canopy, unfortunately though that is how the kitchen designer made it. I will order some larger dessert and serving spoons immediately and look to improve the lighting in due course. We hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner
Mark June 2021

“What a wonderful location this house is in.”

The house it’s self is perfect for family and friends. Everything you could want or need is already there waiting for you including a few extras from the owners that was really thoughtful. Everything is tastefully furnished and all the rooms feel light and airy. Bbq was an added bounce as was the washing machine. Being dog friendly made it a real winner. The location to the village is seconds and a bus stop right opposite the turning which can take you along the coast to local villages and then a lovely walk home along the coast. If I get my way we will be returning in the not to distant future. Thank you Summer Rose for a memorable first visit to Northumberland.

- Mark, June 2021

Hi Mark, thank you so much for your feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed spending time in the house and traveling around Craster. We hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner

About the location

CRASTER

Alnwick 7 miles; Embleton 3 miles.

A picturesque village that seems to tumble into the sea, Craster was an important fishing harbour in the 17th century and is still famous for its oak cured kippers which have graced the best breakfast tables for more than 150 years. The village offers a pub serving food, a fish restaurant and Robson's famous fish shop. There is also an excellent children's playground. Nearby are some of Northumberland's finest sandy beaches. Just south of Craster is Howick Hall, which was built in 1782 and has associations with the Grey family, including Earl Grey the great social reformer and tea enthusiast. The gardens at Howick Hall are open to the public during the spring and summer and are especially worth a visit during the rhododendron season. A walk along the coastal footpath to the north of Craster brings you to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland.

This property offers the following short breaks:
