Property code: OC-GD1855

Tucked away in Craster is this delightful cottage with accommodation over three floors and views out to sea – an ideal getaway for couples, friends or small families. There is a coffee shop in the village that sells basic supplies; for a more substantial shop there is Embleton (3 miles) or Alnwick (7.5 miles) for a variety of pubs, shop, restaurants and supermarkets. The ruins of Dunstanburgh castle (150 metres) are an obvious choice for a visit, but there’s also Bamburgh Castle, 13 miles further up the coast. Bamburgh also has a golf club (14 miles) with fantastic scenery and a beautiful stretch of golden sands (13 miles) on the coast. If you take a boat over to Holy Island (28 miles) you are in with the chance of spotting all kinds of wonderful wildlife, including dolphins, seals and puffins among hundreds of other species.

Cosy up together on comfortable seating in front of the wood burner in the cosy lounge with exposed beams and a TV, or enjoy a sociable meal in the spacious and well-appointed kitchen/diner. Both rooms are bright and airy yet still retain that warm, homely atmosphere. On the next floor up, you will find both bedrooms – a king-size and a twin - with refreshing sea views and a relaxing bathroom, featuring splashes of colour. The top floor of the property is magical – the attic has been converted into a tranquil, lofty retreat with an array of comfortable seating to choose from, a TV, and side tables for your hot drinks and books. The decor is light and bright, aided by the natural light flooding in from the multiple skylights, and warmed up with wooden accents from the flooring and exposed beams.

When you’re not out exploring the rich Northumberland countryside, make the most of the property’s large lawned garden, for catching the sun or letting off steam.

The cottage is in a prime position with superb views over the fields towards Dunstanburgh Castle and across to the sea. Quite private being away from the main walking route but just a short walk to the harbour. Very comfortable and cosy with a fantastic attic lounge area high enough up to see for miles. Very well equipped with everything to make a Read morecomfortable and enjoyable holiday. Hide

Castle Point Cottage was wonderful in every way. The house and garden are beautiful. The location is utterly awesome, with views of the sea both front and back and views of Dunstanburgh Castle from the fantastic loft conversion. Set slightly away, just behind the sea front, we had all the benefits of staying in Craster without feeling crowded by otRead moreher tourists, even at the height of the summer season. Thank you, it was a real privilege to stay there. Hide

What a fabulous place to stay! The views from both sides of the house are gorgeous, the secret room at the top is just wonderful, and the place is really comfortable. We loved the little garden, parking was easy , and the place was equipped with everything we needed . Craster is beautiful, tranquil and quiet (at least it is in early May) . We lovedRead more watching the changing light out to sea, and the sheep and hares among the gorse behind the garden. The smokery and the Jolly fisherman were very welcome, and we were able to get to our old haunts around Seahouses (fish and chips, trips to Farne, co-op). Hide
