Craster Waves Reviews

Paula
Fabulous place.. fifth time staying and everything perfect. Stunning location.. awesome views and cosy and comfortable!
Paula
A lovely cottage with a fabulous view of the sea. Wonderful walks along the coast and surrounding countryside. Would definitely recommend.
Elizabeth
Beautifully decorated and well supplied holiday property, with sensational views in an amazing location. This is the perfect place to have either cosy get away from it all holiday, or an energetic hiking and cycling holiday. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, there is plenty of space for cooking and eating, and a few good restaurants in Craster if you can't be bothered. The village is lovely, with some good spots for getting local food, but there is no local shop, so plan ahead. This cottage is the perfect spot to explore lots of different parts of Northumberland. Highly recommend.
