Catch up on your favourite series on the Smart TV and don’t forget to take advantage of the Sonos speaker, for some evening entertainment after a long day of adventures. As the night grows darker, head upstairs and you will find three plush bedrooms, featuring a double with a TV and en-suite shower, another double and a twin, whilst the bathroom boasts a spacious area to get ready for the day in style. Through the French doors and outside, you can enjoy the warmer months on the decking with a spot of alfresco dining or simply appreciate the stunning views of Dunstanburgh Castle with your morning coffee. If you can tear yourself away from your tranquil home-away-from-home take a trip to The Jolly Fisherman Inn, Blue Bell, and The Treehouse Restaurant, all worth a visit for some scrumptious food. The intimate and picturesque fishing village of Craster offers some fantastic attractions such as its traditional harbour with boats landing their daily catch, the famous fish smokery (home to the Craster Kipper) and the Mick Oxley Art Gallery. Just outside of the village, explore Dunstanburgh Castle, accessible via a bracing coastal walk from your Craster cottage, and a little further beyond you will find the stunning sandy beach at Embleton Bay. Craster is a picturesque fishing village and you will be spoilt for choice with the sights and sounds of a working fishing port, take a wander along the quaint harbour or for a more scenic hike, adventure to the Northumberland Coast Path. Just a short drive away is the historic market town of Alnwick, home to the magnificent Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden, a must-visit for families, or take an afternoon stroll to Summerseats Viewpoint. For a day at the beach, head to nearby Embleton Bay, with its golden sands and clear waters perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. Whether you're looking for history, nature, or relaxation, Craster Reach is the perfect base to explore all that Northumberland has to offer.

A picturesque village that seems to tumble into the sea, Craster was an important fishing harbour in the 17th century and is still famous for its oak cured kippers which have graced the best breakfast tables for more than 150 years. The village offers a pub serving food, a fish restaurant and Robson's famous fish shop. There is also an excellent children's playground. Nearby are some of Northumberland's finest sandy beaches. Just south of Craster is Howick Hall, which was built in 1782 and has associations with the Grey family, including Earl Grey the great social reformer and tea enthusiast. The gardens at Howick Hall are open to the public during the spring and summer and are especially worth a visit during the rhododendron season. A walk along the coastal footpath to the north of Craster brings you to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland.
