  Lovely holiday cottage, in a great location: pub and coastline a few minutes walk from the front door.

  Craster is a lovely village, with some good walks from the front door, or easy access to the local area by car. The property is pretty well equipped, with lots of storage space in the kitchen and in the bedrooms. There was plenty of room for four adults, two children and 2 dogs. A few tweaks, and this would be a five star accommodation, - The welcome pack was really disappointing: some hotel style sachets of tea, coffee, UHT milk, sugar and biscuits. Usually properties of this standard offer at least a loaf of bread, milk, a bottle of wine, and various snacks. There's no shop in the village and is a drive away, so a few more bits would be really helpful. - There were no pods for the coffee machine - There was no antibacterial spray, or cloths provided to clean the sides - Better deep cleaning of the less obvious places, such as the cutlery draw which was a bit grubby with a lot of crumbs None of these are a deal breaker, and wouldn't prevent a return visit. It really is a lovely place. Fixing the above would make it pretty much perfect.

  The cottage had extra lounge/ sun room and a huge wet shower facility off its main bedroom. The garden at the back was huge and suitable for our dog. We liked the fact the the property was close to the coastal path, which was a huge bonus. In literally seconds we were heading to Dunstanburgh or Alnmouth. The welcome basket had a wow factor! One of the best we have had. On arrival the tea, milk and scones with butter and jam plus biscuits give us an afternoon tea which was a delicious start to the holiday. We liked the use of local products – the Alnwick ale, Marlish water and the sachets of organic coffee were eco friendly! An extra treat was the wine. The wee booklet was great, which was small enough to carry all the time. We also thought the doggie treats were a good idea and it was kind to remember the dog. The bar of chocolate finished it off perfectly. Crabcake was full of natural light because of extra windows. Inside and was a very sunny warm comfortable cottage. We liked the nautical theme throughout.

  The property is excellent, in a fantastic position and a minutes walk from a lovely pub.

  The only points we would like to raise are that the hoover didn't work and there was no floor mop so trying to keep on top of things when having two dogs with us for the weeks holiday was a little frustrating. There was only a small dust pan brush hence, we purchased a large brush so we could sweep the ground floor daily. The oven could also do with a deep clean, we cleaned it as best we could as it was very dirty and assume that previous guests have left it in an unsatisfactory condition. Only other point is, we noticed several reviews on-line regarding the water system and hot water. We had no problem with hot water but the noise from the system has not been addressed and does make a lot of noise when the hot water is running, probably just needs a new ball valve on the tank.

  A very comfortable spacious cottage, good beds, WI-FI, TVs, and generally well equipped.

  An excellent location right in the heart of Craster. Yes we would recommend the cottage as a good place to stay. However, on the negative side the hot water cylinder is noisy and we had to resort to switching the power to it off when we went to bed and switching it back on in the morning so that it didn't disturb us during the night, plenty of hot water though. Also the blind in the main bathroom doesn't cover the window as the chain is broken. It was a bit off putting that when we arrived late on a November night all the radiators upstairs, except the landing one, had been turned off and it was very cold in the bedrooms and the "welcome" pack was rather basic with no fresh milk. We did enjoy our stay and found Turnbull's and M&S Simply Food in Alnwick very handy.

  We had a lovely stay.

  This is the second time we’ve stayed at Craster Reach. Compared to our last stay, the property wasn’t quite as clean as before, the floors didn’t appear to have been vaccinated very thoroughly (lots of dust and hair from previous visitors - I ran around with the hoover this on our first day and cleaned this all up) There was also a general smell of dog in the living room that we didn’t manage to clear during our stay despite the fabreeze air freshener being provided. The facilities are fantastic, beds are really comfortable and the views absolutely stunning and we loved the outdoor space at the front. The oven could probably do with a couple more shelves to make it more useful and the back garden would be nicer with a few planters, pots or plants.
