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.

Swallow Cottage, Near Holy Island
Absolutely wonderful stay in Swallow Cottage, spacious and well appointed rooms, bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen, looking out over the fields and hills. Lots of wildlife around the place and chickens on site which our eldest boy loved. Harvest and Dave were great hosts who were very responsive and helpful. The home made cake on arrival was a lovely touch. The cottages are in the middle of rolling fields but near enough to lots of places within 40 mins in beautiful Northumberland. We even caught the train to Edinburgh one day from Berwick(1 hour door to door). One of the best places we've stayed and wouldn't hesitate coming back.

Great for families and groups!
We booked as a family of 8 (3 generations) with 2 dogs. Check in was as described. The house was immaculate- and just what we needed for our annual family trip away. Age of our party (73, 72, 51, 45, 42, 40, 14, 14). We took advantage of the snooker table and darts room, then also enjoyed being snuggled upstairs in the kitchen/dining/living area. Garden was large and secure… ideal for our little dogs, with a walk around the fields close by. We didn’t eat out, other than venturing to Dunbar for Asda supplies, we had every meal in the house. It was a really lovely family stay and we’d all definitely go back - the house had everything we needed - from hair dryer to music speakers, tooth picks to first aid kit (my brother in law had cut his finger at work and needed to replace a plaster). Also - it’s right next to train line and main road… but you don’t hear the noise at all. There was also plenty parking as described. We couldn’t fault the house at all. A really nice family stay x

Millymogs Lodge at Percy Wood Country Park
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
Linda was a great host. The house was spotless and very spacious, as well as peaceful. We were so lucky with the weather and had a wonderful few days exploring the area. We hope to be back soon! Thank you, Linda.

Cheviot Lea Beadnell village
we had a lovely stay in peaceful surroundings. the house is in a good location for walkable visits to village and beaches.

West House, Shoreston - luxury home near the beach
Beautiful house , immaculately clean on arrival with a welcome hamper which was much appreciated. The garden was an instant hit with our 3 year old granddaughter who loved running up and down the lawn playing games , and with a nice sun trap patio at the back. Ideal location for visiting nearby castles and attractions. Seahouses is a lovely little town with a well stocked Co-op Lynne was a really helpful host and very quick to respond to our messages. Would definitely recommend West House.
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.
