“It’s a very welcoming and cosy Cottage, with a lovely view of the fishing harbour and the sea beyond.”

Well equipped in the Kitchen, dining room and lounge….it’s all there! A wonderful place to relax and unwind, thank you.

“Loved the cottage and we were there for storm Babet so wonderful to have a cosy place to see the waves.”

My elderly parents particularly loved how cosy and comfortable the cottage was. I loved how well equipped the kitchen is. Only small issue was the neighbours were quite rude to ensure we knew there was only 1 parking space and seemed a bit neurotic about it - apart from that loved the cottage.

“We had a fantastic week at Marie's Cottage.”

It's a lovely home and very comfortable with lots of resources. We spent ages just sitting outside and people watching/ bird watching/ dolphin watching. Fabulous. Communication with Diana was always positive. If I were to have any suggestions, pint glasses would be useful and if towels were provided it would just have been a bit more convenient.

“The cottage was like a home away from home with everything we needed to enjoy our stay.”

My one criticism would be that the curtains in the top bedroom let too much light in, especially when you consider that the sun rises at that side of the house. A secondary blind or shutters would be useful. I appreciate that this is a relatively minor issue and that it should not take away from the fact that the cottage was one of the best that we’ve ever stayed in.

“We stayed for a fortnight and settled in as at home after a day.”

Perfect for a couple with two children. Truly lovely property, the location, the rooms, the view; warm and with space to spread out over three floors. Fully equipped kitchen, fast internet and Netflix, A home to stay in most of Christmas and New Years days, to walk the dog early in the morning before day trippers arrive, to look at the dark starlit skies when they leave. And visit the area's beaches and towns. Recommended!

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.
