Maggie's Den is a beautiful property in a stunning village. We loved our Xmas holidays here however there were a few little things that let it down. Hopefully these issues will be resolved and the cottage will be perfect for the next guests.

We stayed for a week in November. The location is brilliant for coastal walks and the village pub, which serves excellent sea food, and is possibly a little too convenient. The cottage is exactly as presented - no deceiving photography. It has been refurbished to a high standard and is very comfortable. Craster is a working harbour, so it can get bRead moreusy. The onsite car parking is a massive plus. We had a very pleasant and memorable stay. Hide

The cottage was extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The furniture and fittings were high quality as was all of the kitchen and other household equipment. The location was really convenient and the view of the harbour and local surroundings was great.

Fabulous location. Easy to do lots of great walks from the house aswell as a short drive away. Great facilities for a family - we were 6 adults. Beds really comfy. Heating very efficient and we loved the log burner. Dried all our walking and. Swimming stuff easily - maybe another clothes horse would be handy, especially in winter.

Wonderful location and open plan layout which was ideal for sharing with friends. Great views - we had thought these might be dominated by our two cars but that was not the case. Great place for watching sea birds, especially a friendly guillemot. Walks in all directions are exceptional. There were lots of maintenance issues and when we called abouRead moret them nothing happened. I was looking forward to the copper bath but could not run enough water for a decent soak - the showers are superb though. Hide

A very comfortable and well appointed cottage sitated right by the sea. Very quiet with only passing walkers which proved an ideal location to explore the whole beautiful Northumberland Coast AONB, as well as Alnwick and Cragside inland
