Delightful coastal retreat in Seahouses
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. Also loved the tie sofa! The centre of Seahouses and the coastal path were in very easy reach.

First Cottage
First Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. Great location (very quiet), clean, everything you could need and very homely. Janice was a great host and all instructions were clear. Great holiday, good value for money and would definitely recommend. Melanie.

Adham’s property was perfect for the one night we spent in Durham. Really easy to access the city, easy to find and great communication from Adham. Thank you - we’ll be back

Great for families and groups!
We were visiting for a family wedding and were looking for a place for a group of adults. Caroline's place was absolutely ideal, cosy but with enough room for everyone to have their own space when they wanted. Spotlessly clean and those additional touches that make you feel really welcome when you arrive. The highlight has to be having your own private 'pub' - the snooker was a huge hit although my skills haven't improved at all! Great value for money and a fantastic place to stay - hopefully we'll be back someday!

Very responsive host and very kind, the place was nice we had a lovely bbq and time in the hot tub

Lovely coastal 3 bedroom Scandinavian Lodge
We had a very enjoyable relaxing stay at the lodge. Linda sent me helpful instructions and we arrived to find a lovely bottle of Prosecco plus milk and biscuits! Our children enjoyed the large garden. We will definitely be back. Thank you for having us :)

Your guide to Craster
Welcome to Craster
The small fishing village of Craster sits in the middle of 40 miles of Northumberland coastline that have been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal place from which to walk the coastal path and enjoy some of Britain’s most overlooked beaches. The Craster family, who owned the land on which the village sits for 700 years, built its pretty harbour in 1904 in tribute to a son lost in war, and many of the houses surrounding it are built of the rare whinstone that was quarried nearby. The 18th-century mansion is now flats, and the village has a strong reputation with foodies, not least for the herrings that are turned into kippers in its celebrated smokehouse. A walk south will take you to Howick, with its charming Hall and Gardens; head north, towards the Scottish border, and you’ll quickly come across the area’s most hauntingly beautiful ruin, Dunstanburgh Castle.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Craster
Summer is the best time to stay in one of Craster’s cottages and enjoy the beaches of this northeastern coast, especially if you want to indulge in sunbathing. British weather is capricious at the best of times, and especially so the further north you travel, so it’s worth being prepared for any eventuality, and packing plenty of layers and waterproofs. Spring and summer can offer warm days combined with brisker ones, but the Northumberland landscape is particularly beautiful, and the stately homes and gardens that are dotted around the area are shown off to great advantage. Alnwick, seven miles south of Craster, puts on many open garden events during the spring, when its castle’s grounds are in bloom, and stages outdoor concerts and theatre in the summer, including a music festival.
Top things to do in Craster
Dunstanburgh Castle
Just north of Craster, and easily reached along the coastal path, the remains of this once vast fortress overlooks the North Sea. The massive stone walls of a former gatehouse, and the crumbled ruins of a double-turreted tower, hint at the extraordinary size of the 14th-century castle that once stood here.
Arnold Memorial Nature Reserve
This old quarry at the entrance to the village has been reclaimed by woodland and has become a rich habitat for birdlife, including a number of rare warblers and flycatchers. With streams and shrubs lined with foxgloves, it’s a pretty place to go for a stroll even if you’re not a regular birdspotter.
Sugar Sands Beach
Considered one of Northumberland’s best beaches, Sugar Sands remains relatively undiscovered because of its hard-to-reach location. The white sands of this hidden cove make it a locals’ favourite. Walk from Howick or Boulmer to enjoy its sheltered tranquillity, or drive to the dunes at Longhoughton and pay an honesty box parking fee.
