Hideaway Cottage - Three Bedroom House, Sleeps 6

Escape to Hideaway Cottage, a delightful former fisherman’s house overlooking the harbour.
The property has been sympathetically restored retaining exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The shaker style kitchen comes complete with modern appliances, there’s a separate dining and cosy living room with plenty of seating for six guests. Stripped wood floors throughout the ground floor add to the character of this delightful holiday home. Accommodation is over three floors, there’s a garden area and private parking.
It’s all about the location - but if you can tear yourself away from the harbourside it’s worth exploring the historic market town of Alnwick (6 miles), a great place to do a little shopping or stop off for lunch or a coffee, there’s also a weekly market but don’t miss out on the magnificent castle, most famous for being transformed into Hogwart’s castle in the first two Harry Potter movies. Hideaway Cottage is a great base for exploring the many beaches along the coastline…  so relax… there’s something for everyone!

Our home away from home
Yet another wonderful stay at Hideaway Cottage, Craster. Every time we visit there has been another improvement or update. It truely feels like a home from home to us. Perfectly positioned for exploring the area. Cosy, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Can't wait to visit again.

Perfect location
The cottage was perfectly located within yards of the harbour at Craster, which is a lovely place just to sit and take in the views. The cottage is very well furnished with separate lounge and dining room. The garden is separate from the cottage just 30 yards or so back down the lane next to the allocated car parking spaces. From the cottage you can walk to Dunstanburgh Castle and beyond to the lovely beach near Embleton. The location is excellent for touring Nortumbria and we went as far north as Berwick and down to Morpeth. Highly recommended.

Great position
Although 'Hidden Away' from the busiest route to Dunstanburgh Castle you still have great views over Craster Harbour which is only a few metres away. The property itself is well-equipped, beautifully kept and spotlessly clean. A gem.

Hideway Cottage
We much enjoyed our stay in this most comfortable cottage in charming Craster. We were blessed with wonderful weather throughout our week. The highlight was Alnwick Gardens and Castle. The welcoming bottle of wine was much appreciated.

We come every year. We love it
If you want peace and quiet this is the place to come. Craster is a great centre for coastal walks and their famous kippers.

Another fantastic visit
I've lost count of the number of times we have stayed at Hideaway Cottage and every time we visit the property has been improved in some way. The cottage is excellently maintained, always spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. The only problem we ever have is having to leave!

We keep coming back - it must be good!!
This cottage has everything we need - party of five female adults. Just a minor gripe. Please could the lighting in the living and dining rooms be improved? We read, knit, cross-stitch and play board games and struggle to see!! Dimmer switches maybe?

Ideal location
Ideal location with fantastic views of the harbour. The facilities were excellent, everything you need without clutter, it was also lovely and clean. Its nice to have a cottage without clutter, so you can move in for the holiday.

Beautiful, roomy cottage
Hideaway Cottage is amazingly placed with fantastic sea views and the sound of the waves as you fall asleep. The cottage is much more spacious than would appear on the photos and 5 of us had plenty of room to eat and relax. The kitchen was very well resourced with utensils and crockery - much better than many cottages we have stayed in. The beds and duvets were very comfy and there was lots of storage space for clothes and belongings.

Lovely cottage in a great location
This is a nice, homely cottage with everything you need provided. There is a sea view and the location is handy for everything the village has to offer. Great base for exploring the Northumberland coast.

Craster

Comfortable stay
The cottage was comfortable and clean. It is very well placed for the amenities of Craster village with good views of the harbour through both the lounge window and main bedroom window upstairs. Private parking is always a bonus when staying in Craster and having enough space for 2 cars was an added bonus. There were 4 adults in our party and we never felt we were under each other's feet as the room sizes are good. There seems to be damp coming through the fireplace wall which the owners should look to examine quickly before the problem gets any worse and affects their lovely property more than it is currently

Hideaway cottage, like the whole of the area, never lets us down. Wonderfully cosy. Spotlessly clean. Brilliant facilities. We have visited many times and will continue to do so. Thanks again for a fantastic holiday!
