  • "We had a lovely stay."

    This is the second time we’ve stayed at Craster Reach. Compared to our last stay, the property wasn’t quite as clean as before, the floors didn’t appear to have been vaccinated very thoroughly (lots of dust and hair from previous visitors - I ran around with the hoover this on our first day and cleaned this all up) There was also a general smell of dog in the living room that we didn’t manage to clear during our stay despite the fabreeze air freshener being provided. The facilities are fantastic, beds are really comfortable and the views absolutely stunning and we loved the outdoor space at the front. The oven could probably do with a couple more shelves to make it more useful and the back garden would be nicer with a few planters, pots or plants.

About the location

CRASTER

Alnwick 7 miles; Embleton 3 miles.

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 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.
