Parking for 2 cars excellent. One toilet ok for 4 people but donâ??t know about 6. Fantastic cottage with glorious sunrises. Comfortable and well maintained. Would stay again.

A beautifully furnished cottage in a beautiful location. We will definitely be back!
Rosalind
Fisherman's Cottage is tastefully decorated and in a stunning location with beautiful views from the bedrooms and living room. We really enjoyed spending time in the cottage and it's surrounding areas.
Maureen
Super clean, pretty cottage with the best views of Craster harbour.
Norma
We had a lovely stay in Fishermanâ??s Cottage. It is in a wonderful location, we enjoyed being able to sit in the garden and watch the sea. The cottage is warm, clean, comfortable and well equipped. There are fantastic walks from Craster and within a short drive. A very relaxing break.
Gillian
Wonderful location overlooking the harbour.
David
Cottage was nice and in a good location
Kevin
The cottage was wonderful from the moment you step inside, Clean, tidy and well maintained with fantastic views of the harbor and sea. Have booked again for 3 months time it was so good.
Carole
Our first time to Craster and absolutely loved it! The cottage is in a great spot and couldnâ??t be faulted. The only reason we arenâ??t rebooking is because it isnâ??t dog friendly. We will be returning to Craster next year in another property where we can bring our dog. Thank you for a great weekend!
Yvonne
Beautifully appointed cottage, in a great location.
Oliver
Great holiday cottage in wonderful location. Wonderful garden overlooking the harbour, lovely to relax. Good wifi in the house. Kitchen well equipped. Beds comfortable with lovely clean bed linen. Good parking area but access to parking requires careful driving as the road is uneven and requires maintenance. Local pub has excellent fish restaurant but book in advance!
Peter
Excellent location very comfortable - recommended
Jill
A fantastic cottage, beautifully furnished and equipped with all you could need. Great location and the garden a real bonus.
Lydia
A beautiful cosy cottage in a stunning location overlooking the harbour. You really would never get tired of that view! The bedrooms, particularly, are beautifully furnished with very comfortable beds, with two of them enjoying that lovely harbour view. We were lucky enough to get some good weather and so were able to enjoy the pretty little garden across the road - the perfect spot for a coffee, while watching the comings and goings in the harbour. Being located right on the path that leads to Dunstanburgh Castle was amazing and felt like a huge privilege - a great walk to blow the cobwebs away and we even saw dolphins on one occasion. All in all a great holiday in a home away from home which we hope to return to one day.
