  A well equipped cottage in such a peaceful spot. Sleeps 6 comfortably. We were a party of 5 and 2of the party had mobility issues and the information on the property meant that we knew the stairs may cause an issue, but the down stairs loo solved this. The ramp to the main road was invaluable to support accessing the car for our party, so much easier than using the track at the back of the cottage, as this is where the parking is situated on a slope . All our party were happy with the location and cottage. Just a note the dining chairs are a little worn so we sank into them, but we solved that issue with cushions from the settee. These aided our card nights. Also the settees proved a little low for one of the party but a pillow solved that. The guest in question is in her early 80s , so we expected a few access issues. None of which spoiled our holiday. The cottage has a great view of the harbour from the sitting room, the garden offers a bigger sea view and the road has access to the walk to Dunstanburgh Castle, which the more able in our party did several times over the week. Even my 80+ year old aunt and 70+ mother- mobility issues managed a good distance on the level ish walk by the sea to the castle. The location is a great base for the area, nothing is more than half hours drive-Alnwick, Almouth, Amble, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Rothbury / cragside and Hawick were all visited. You’ll be spoiled for choice. As I told a friend I’ve found a new favourite place with amazing big skies. Craster is a little gem and I hope to be back to Hideaway. There were other cottages but I feel Hideaway has the best location. If you book it you won’t be disappointed .

  The cottage had extra lounge/ sun room and a huge wet shower facility off its main bedroom. The garden at the back was huge and suitable for our dog. We liked the fact the the property was close to the coastal path, which was a huge bonus. In literally seconds we were heading to Dunstanburgh or Alnmouth. The welcome basket had a wow factor! One of the best we have had. On arrival the tea, milk and scones with butter and jam plus biscuits give us an afternoon tea which was a delicious start to the holiday. We liked the use of local products – the Alnwick ale, Marlish water and the sachets of organic coffee were eco friendly! An extra treat was the wine. The wee booklet was great, which was small enough to carry all the time. We also thought the doggie treats were a good idea and it was kind to remember the dog. The bar of chocolate finished it off perfectly. Crabcake was full of natural light because of extra windows. Inside and was a very sunny warm comfortable cottage. We liked the nautical theme throughout.

  Had a fantastic weekend in Craster, cottage was lovely – very cosy and comfortable. Everyone in Craster was so friendly and welcoming and we learnt a lot about the village’s history through chatting to locals. Breakfasts at the ‘Rocking Horse Cafe and Gallery’ was fab and make sure to try the kippers from the smokehouse shop in the village! We were told you can’t leave Craster without trying them and we very much agree! There is a lovely walk you can do further inland, to the Linhope Spout – a beautiful little waterfall set in the most scenic Northumbrian valley. This walk was great to do with kids as well, even a lazy 10 year old boy managed it! Thanks so much!

  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

  We had a great stay in this delightful cottage. Very well equipped and clean, with many thoughtful touches we loved the décor and the general air of the property. We particularly appreciated the welcome basket filled with useful goodies such as bread and the large vase of beautifully arranged flowers was a really lovely touch. Thank you for a lovely holiday. We particularly appreciated the call and text message to ensure that everything was ok the morning after our arrival. It made us feel that we were getting a really personal service from you, which is not always the case with holiday letting companies.
