Description of holiday house in Craster, Northumberland / North East
This 200 year old stone double-fronted fisherman's cottage holds a prime position in the village of Craster with commanding views over the harbour. Its quaint period architecture belies the owners’ forward-thinking philosophy, evident externally from the solar panels on the roof, and internally from the stunning contemporary styling and the presence of so many 21st century luxuries.
The owners spent almost a year painstakingly renovating this former fisherman’s cottage and now offers the warmest of welcomes to Coastal Retreats guests with its thoughtfully designed interior and finishing touches. Within steps and sight of the Harbour Master's House and the Coastguards Cottage, these 3 cottages booked together will be ideal for groups of friends and families holidaying together.
Well known for Dunstanburgh Castle and Robson's smokery, Craster is a delightful place to stay. With Alnwick just 10 minutes drive away, Embleton just up the road and Walkworth within an easy 15 minute drive, Craster is centrally placed for exploring all the well known sights of the Northumberland Coast. The walk from Craster village, along the rocky and rugged coastal edge to Dunstanburgh Castle, is one of the most popular walks in the North East. The iconic outline of the castle is known to many and will become quite familar to those booking the Craster Retreat.
