Perfect location, all amenities close by are good. We had a wonderful holiday and would love to return. The boiler smell was a slight concern.

A spacious comfortable cottage and in a good location in the village away from the daily influx of walkers on the way to Dunstanburgh filing past the cottages on the front but still offering views of the harbour and sea. Whilst it could do with an upgrade in some areas it retains a homely feel, a good welcome pack was provided, including wine, and Read morethe cottage had been decorated for the festive period which was a lovely touch. Overall we enjoyed our stay in a village we have come to love over our years of visiting it. Hide

We had a lovely stay, the cottage was clean and well equipped and is very well located for walks straight from the door. The local pub and cafe were a short walk away. Would stay again.

This is an old cottage nicely situated close to the harbour in a lovely historic village. Great harbour view from the living room and main bedroom. Excellent off road parking for two cars. We had a most enjoyable week's stay.

The cottage was just right for us. The location was great. Parking for cottage was good. We have an EV and found EV charging points in Alnwick to be very reliable and quick. There are charging points in Craster car park too.

We we're a party of 2 couples and we loved the cottage location. Craster is also a superb location. The cottage was generally well equipped and we found it very comfortable. Overall it was clean and tidy but we did feel it could do with a bit of updating. We would return in the future. As with all rental properties in the area we did feel it was oRead moreverpriced but given the demand we know why. Hide
