    “Location, location, location and it’s certainly all about that.”

    We had a lovely stay at Marie’s cottage. Craster is a very special place with lovely people and, of course, the food at the Jolly Fisherman was a delight, we’ll definitely be back. 2 weeks wasn’t enough for us! The cottage is very well equipped and has amazing views. Cleaning could have been more thorough e.g. debris in the toaster, freezer and a dirty frying pan. A comfy new sofa but sadly the armchairs were not. The twin bedroom was beautifully presented but the attic king size room ...

    We had a lovely stay at Marie’s cottage. Craster is a very special place with lovely people and, of course, the food at the Jolly Fisherman was a delight, we’ll definitely be back. 2 weeks wasn’t enough for us! The cottage is very well equipped and has amazing views. Cleaning could have been more thorough e.g. debris in the toaster, freezer and a dirty frying pan. A comfy new sofa but sadly the armchairs were not. The twin bedroom was beautifully presented but the attic king size room lacked in comparison but it was cozy and the bed comfortable. The welcome pack was also lacking - no local products, a packet of cheap biscuits, a handful of t bags, sugar and coffee sachets, a pint of milk but the bottle of wine was a nice touch, as too were the dog biscuits and tennis ball. Sadly the cottage won’t be available after this year as the owners will be retiring to there and who could blame them. Northumberland is a special place and we’re looking forward to our 4th visit in 2025.

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.
