The owners have spent almost a year painstakingly renovating this former fisherman’s cottage and it will soon be ready to offer the warmest of welcomes to Coastal Retreats guests with its thoughtfully designed interior and finishing touches. Within steps and sight of the Harbour Master's House, these two cottages booked together will be ideal for groups of friends and families holidaying together.
Well known for Dunstanborough Castle and Robson's smokery, Craster is a delightful place to stay. With Alnwick just 10 minutes drive away, Embleton just up the road and Walkworth within an easy 15 minute drive, Craster is centrally placed for exploring all the well known sights of the Northumberland Coast. The walk from Craster village, along the rocky and rugged coastal edge to Dunstanborough Castle, is one of the most popular walks in the North East. The iconic outline of the castle is known to many and will become quite familar to those booking the Craster Retreat.
Opening in time for the peak summer holidays, the house is still undergoing refurbishment but promises to be finished in time! It will be ready for our first guests arriving in early July!
