    “Fabulous base for exploring the beautiful surrounding area.”

    Very warm welcome from the owners and the coach house itself is comfortable, spacious, well-equipped and homely. It is a short walk into Craster and onto the coastal path. Alnwick is a 10 minute car drive away with great local shops and supermarkets. Would thoroughly recommend this lovely holiday home. Great tips and advice about local cafes and pubs from the owners too - thank you.

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.
