Fisherman's Cottage

Reviews

Been to Craster several times, stayed in different cottages. Good value for the price, amazing views over harbour and sea.

Wow. Waking up to the amazing Craster harbour views on a sunny late summer's morning has got to be one of the best experiences one can have for a UK holiday. Sitting in the cottage's little garden with an early morning coffee, you can hear a pin drop; just birds singing and the gentle lap of water. Sublime. Craster really is the place for you if you want to get away from it all. The cottage's location is amazing - seconds walk from the well trodden coastal path towards Dunstanburgh Castle in one direction and the more secluded (but equally lovely) route along the south coast. Great location for access to the whole Northumberland coastline and only 20 minutes off the A1. Great pub and restaurant on the doorstep. The cottage itself is cozy. Plenty of sleeping accommodation (would maybe be a touch light on comfy seating if all rooms occupied?). A well equipped if small kitchen; it had everything we needed. Fast wifi was a bonus as we could take our Firestick for Netflix etc. Designated parking space to the rear was also a major benefit. Loved everything about our week in Craster and would definitely return to Fisherman's Cottage.

We stay in holiday cottages all over the country but have returned to Fisherman's Cottage more often than to any other (beginning to lose count of our repeat visits). As said in previous reviews, its situation overlooking Craster harbour is splendid and we spend a lot of time sitting out in the delightful harbourside garden, peacefully drinking in the comings and goings of the boats and birds (eider, turnstone, redshank and oyster catcher prominent within the harbour itself, terns, gannets and dolphin spotted in the waters just beyond the entrance). it is interesting to watch the passersby too who give us envious glances as we sip our morning coffee and afternoon tea among the neighbouring roses, and this year we enjoyed our ringside seats for the annual lifeboat fete as well. There are fine coastal walks both north and south from the door, and a wealth of other magnificent walks near at hand. The cottage benefits from its ownership having been retained within the original fisherman family, which is shown not only in interesting historical photographs on the walls but also in the very careful and thoughtful upkeep and equipping. We love the fact that the cottage feels more of a home than a holiday let. We are grateful to have been able to think of it as our home once again for two glorious weeks in August.

We have stayed at Fisherman's Cottage twice, now and I suspect we will be back again. The cottage is homely and well maintained. It is in a spectacular location with inspiring views.

The beauty of Fisherman's cottage is its stunning location, perched on the edge of the harbour with views to the open sea. The village is pretty, peaceful, the people very friendly. A lovely pub serves good seafood, a lovely restaurant serves very good seafood indeed, all with charming and welcoming service. The cottage itself is smart, clean, and has all you need. Having spoken to the delightful owner before heading to Northumberland, we did not need to contact him once there as all was in place. Castles and the coast and the fabulous landscape - it was a very lovely week. Thank you to the Kellys!

perfect location, very well equipped, spotlessly clean, excellent parking. A real "home from home". Even the weather was good. We could not have had a better holiday

This cottage is in a wonderful position with great views over the harbour and a short walk to the pub and the smokery. It is very comfortable inside, with modern furnishings and decor and a well-equipped kitchen. We appreciated little extras such as board games and jigsaw puzzles, and a separate dining room with an additional small TV. When we turned up without towels, our hosts kindly lent us some. We were there in a cold and windy week and it did get a little cool later in the day, so it was useful to have some plug-in heaters. The shower and hot water could be better.
