Puffin Cottage is a beautiful holiday home nestled in Craster, Northumberland, offering the ideal retreat for a family or group of friends.

With spectacular sea views that can be admired both inside and out, an intimate woodburning stove in the open-plan living space, and off-road parking for two vehicles, this property is a superb base for your coastal escape.

Step inside to discover a welcoming open-plan living area, where you can unwind on one of the two plush sofas and fully chill out in your scenic surroundings.

If you’re in the mood for a bite to eat, the well-equipped kitchen provides an electric oven and hob to help whip up a delicious meal, ready to enjoy at the dining table.

On warmer days, dine alfresco on the front patio while soaking in the incredible sea views and letting the sun set over the water.

As the coastal breeze rolls in, head back indoors and curl up by the woodburning stove while you browse the Smart TV for a film or series to enjoy together.

When sleep calls, head upstairs to rest in either the king-size bedroom or the twin room.

Freshen up in the morning with a shower in either the en-suite or the family shower room, then prepare a hot drink with the coffee maker before heading out to explore.

A welcoming pub is within walking distance for meals out, while a short drive takes you to the nearest shop for any essentials.

For a day of discovery, enjoy a scenic walk along the Northumberland Coast Path, explore the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, or stroll through the stunning Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum.

Venture to Alnwick to explore Hulne Park, tour Alnwick Castle, beloved by Harry Potter fans, and visit the enchanting Lilidorei at The Alnwick Garden.

For even more adventure, travel to Amble for a peaceful voyage with Puffin Cruises, discover wildlife at the Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre, or walk along the sands of Warkworth Beach.

Puffin Cottage is a delightful base for creating treasured memories along the Northumberland coast.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

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 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.
