Situated in the quiet fishing village of Craster, with views out to sea, this characterful stone cottage is perfectly placed to allow you to wander around the village and explore the local amenities which include the Robson's Smokery, ever popular for its famous Craster kippers, the restaurant, café, the Jolly Fisherman pub and a quaint art gallery filled with pieces by local artists.
Take a walk around the harbour which is visible from this cottage, wander North and you will find ruins of the once mighty Dunstanburgh Castle. Continue along this rocky part of the coastline and you will reach Embleton with its popular white sand beach, continue on a little further and the route will take you around the headland to Newton, a truly beautiful spot for coastal walking.
