Overview

This characterful five-bedroom house sits just outside the fishing village of Craster on the Northumberland coast. It sleeps up to 12 guests and suits large families and groups of friends. Every room has its own colour scheme and theme, and the standout features are a vintage cinema room, a farmhouse kitchen with an Aga and an enclosed garden. The Dunstanburgh Castle coastal walk starts about a mile away.

The Property

The ground floor is built around a generous farmhouse kitchen with an Aga, a breakfast bar and a large seating area for group meals. It also has a hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and coffee machine. A sitting room with comfortable sofas, a wood burner and a Smart TV leads to a second lounge with its own Smart TV and extra seating. There is also a versatile utility/laundry room and a downstairs WC.

The cinema room is a highlight. It has a 75-inch Smart TV with Sky and Netflix, and seating upholstered in fabric from the Theatre Royal in Newcastle.

All five bedrooms are on the first floor, each with a luxury French velvet bed and matching soft furnishings. Four are doubles, and the largest has an en-suite with a bath and corner shower. The fifth is a family bedroom with a double bed, a TV and a bunk bed for two children. It has its own en-suite shower room, which makes it a self-contained suite. A family bathroom with a roll-top bath and a shower over the bath completes the floor.

Outside, the enclosed garden is part lawn and part paved. It has plenty of seating, a chimenea and outdoor lighting for summer evenings. There is on-site parking.

For the Cat

Cats are welcome.
