Situated in the heart of the traditional fishing village of Craster, just a stone's throw from the Northumberland Coast Path, this cosy cottage is the ideal retreat for couples and families keen to answer the call of the Northumbrian coast. Nestled within the Northumberland Coast National Landscape, the fishing village of Craster boasts the ruins of a magnificent fortress, offering some fantastic bird-watching opportunities, perfect for keen outdoor explorers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Join the Northumberland Coast Path from the village, which connects you to landmarks such as Dunstanburgh Castle (less than 0.5 miles) and Embleton (4 miles) to the north, and Howick, Boulmer, and Alnmouth to the south, which can all be reached within 8.5 miles. The harbourside village of Seahouses, 10.5 miles away, offers boat trips to the Farne Islands, the perfect way to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Up the set of slate steps and through the charming front door, you're greeted with the light-filled, spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that encompasses the ground floor of this homely hideaway. Enjoying lovely south-facing views, perfectly blending charm with contemporary elegance, the well-equipped kitchen space provides everything you need to whip up something delicious; your tasty fare can be enjoyed seated around the rustic wooden dining table. Featuring patio doors out to the garden, as well as a cast-iron open fire, the lounge space has been designed with relaxation in mind and enjoys plenty of charming coastal touches that reflect the beauty of your surrounding scenery. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms, one cosy twin featuring a soothing coastal colour palette and a delightful en-suite king-size boasting a breathtaking view across Craster with Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance. A spacious, contemporary family bathroom is conveniently located between both bedrooms.

The enclosed patio garden is perfect for children and pets, featuring a mix of patio and gravel, with a large table with chairs ideal for al fresco dining amongst partial sea views to the east. Festoon lighting creates a magical evening ambience, while a raised patio area with additional seating connects to the lounge via French doors. There is a handy lockable outhouse where the washer/dryer is located, and ample storage space for any beach equipment or bikes. Private parking is available for two cars.
