Reviews

Has plenty of all utensils, crockery and pans. Good layout for well behaved pets

Mr W,

The house is very well laid out and has a spacious feel to it. It is lovely and light. Very well furnished and equipped. The garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs - plenty of outdoor space. It is well positioned for driving to various wonderful beaches, the town of Alnwick, and all of the north-eastern part. It is well situated for going out and about. Lindisfarne is only a half hour drive away, as is the National Trust property of Cragside - both worth a visit. We enjoyed staying in the house and would recommend it.

Dr S,

As above.

Mr M,

Pleasant living space and practical for dogs. Short drive to several local, wonderful beaches.

Ms W,

Great location, very comfortable property in the countryside but close enough to the beaches and towns of Northumberland. Good facilities in the house. Thank you for the welcome gift.

Mrs S,

A beautiful well presented 3 bedroom house - situated in a great location. Easy to travel to the near by towns or incredible beaches. Near to wonderful pubs and restaurants....a little slice of Northumberland heaven.

Mrs H,

This is a modern, spacious property particularly suited to guests with dogs as the garden is quite large and fully enclosed. It is a good central base for exploring the Northumberland coast.

Mrs C,

Beautiful house, fantastic garden for dogs. All mod cons & kitchen area particularly good.

Mr D,

Location

Craster

Craster is a picturesque fishing village and a popular holiday destination thanks to its lovely harbour, coastal walks and proximity to castles, beaches and the stunning countryside of the Northumberland National Park. We also have some superb cottages to make your Northumberland holiday unforgettable. 

Craster is known as the ‘home of the kipper’ and, when you explore the village you might smell these famous fish being smoked in the sheds of the Robson and Sons Smokery. You can sample Craster kippers in many cafes and restaurants around the village and area, but one of the best places to go is The Piper’s Pitch, a catering van in the Craster Quarry Car Park. Their kipper-in-a-bun is highly rated as are their other delicious and unusual sandwich fillings and sweet treats. 

Other great places to eat include the Shoreline Café, the Stable Yard, and the Jolly Fisherman. Once you’re fuelled up, why not take the coastal path north through pretty open fields towards Dunstanburgh Castle and Embleton Bay.

Embleton

The village of Embleton, north of Craster dates back to the 12th century and offers an array of fantastic pubs and restaurants, from the Greys Inn to the Sambuca Blue Bell Italian restaurant. 

The wide sandy beach close to the village is a big drawcard for birdwatchers, rockpoolers and watersports enthusiasts. Dunstanburgh Castle (which is dog friendly) makes for a dramatic backdrop.

Golfers love the Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club with its bracing views, and the food served at the club house is excellent too (they often do special offers if you book a round of golf). 

If you’re a keen walker, there are some fine walks beyond Embleton to Newton-by-the-Seam and on to Beadnell and Seahouses, or south towards Howick, Boulmer and Alnmouth.
