Perfectly positioned for discovering all that the Northumberland coast has to offer, this holiday cottage is also available as a lovely, well-proportioned ground floor, one bedroom property for up to two Guests, The Coastguard's Snug . The cottage is located in Craster, a fishing village with a picturesque harbour, a local gastro-pub (The Jolly Fisherman), an art gallery, a coffee shop, a Castle and direct access onto England's Coastal Path; Craster is also the home of the famous smoked kippers!
From here you can follow the coastal pathway up to Dunstanburgh Castle (1.5 miles), a striking heritage location that’s managed by English Heritage. Another attraction close by is Howick Hall (2.5 miles), a delectable country house with marvellous gardens, the home of the Grey family, you can enjoy a pot of Earl Grey in their lovely tea rooms. For a typical beach day, there’s a very small stretch of sand right here at Craster but you'll want to visit Embleton Beach (2.5 miles) and Longhoughton (Sugar Sands) (5.5 miles) to name just a few.
Reclaimed wood fittings, stylish furnishings and a quirky interior make this holiday cottage a real gem on the Northumberland coast. Head inside, you’ll find ample space in the hallway to leave coats and shoes after time on the beach. Step on through to the kitchen/diner/sitting area and you'll find an exposed brick fireplace, home to a wood burner for cosy nights in; a Smart TV (to watch your own subscription channels) and exceptionally comfortable sofas to sink into when relaxing.

As well as a utility room and a handy downstairs WC, the ground floor also has a king-size bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, making the ground floor a perfect space for up to two Guests.
