This 3-bedroom house is a contemporary home sitting directly on the coastal path in Craster, a working fishing village on the Northumberland Coast. A floor-to-ceiling bay window floods the open-plan living space with sea light and the views from the main rooms are far-reaching. A wood burner sits before two sofas for cooler evenings.

Craster is a proper fishing village with a harbour, a famous kipper smokehouse and the Jolly Fisherman pub. Dunstanburgh Castle ruins are 1.5 miles along the rocky headland. Embleton Bay, a large golden sandy beach, is 4 miles away. A telescope is provided for watching dolphins and local wildlife.

This property sleeps six across three bedrooms. The king-size en-suite has sea views. The twin bedroom also has sea views. The double overlooks the rear garden. There is a family bathroom with a painted roll-top bath and separate shower plus a separate en-suite with shower and WC.

Dunstanburgh Castle (1.5 miles, 10 mins walk), Alnwick Castle (6 miles, 15 mins drive), Seahouses Harbour (8 miles, 20 mins drive) and Bamburgh Castle (14 miles, 25 mins drive) are all within easy reach.

This getaway suits families and groups of six who want direct sea views and coastal walks from the front door. The location at this rental is genuinely hard to beat.
