A dream get away!

We stayed in the reading rooms for 1 week with our young children and when you arrive you are greeted by a clean house filled with a thoughtful welcome hamper and all the things required for a relaxing stay.

The house was totally spotless and fantastically furnished - we truly felt at home as soon as we walked in! There was an issue with the local water and Ben the house manager informed us straight away and provided bottles of water throughout the stay.

The location is very remote but this is what we wanted. However there is so much to explore all within a 30 minute drive so it’s really ideal. The immediate surroundings are simply stunning as is the garden and stream.

We really were blown away and our expectations were completely smashed by the cosy cottage we got to call home.

We are already planning on booking again next year.

Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience and explore the Dales, you’ll only regret not booking for longer.

Thanks to all the team!

Absolutely Outstanding First Class

Middlerigg is an absolute beautiful property, extremely high standard throughout, its location is perfect just looking out over Craster Harbour, We will definitely be back it’s five stars from us

Another wonderful stay in Rock Lobster - always a special time with family. Perfect

We love our annual week at Rock Lobster with the family. The house works perfectly and the location and sea views are wonderful. An excellent base for traditional British seaside fun. Lovely coastal walks to beaches, cafes and pubs. House and garden so good for all the family and can kayak from the shore. Very friendly staff and service and we’ll be back. Thank you.

Wonderful position with views over to castle and along coast, also very close to amenities in the village, children’s playground and harbour.

Welcome pack of food very generous and top quality, also towels and toilet paper.

High Quality Craster Cottage

Driftwood was the perfect base for exploring the Northumberland coast with our dog. Even in August we were away from any crowds and had easy access to great walks and fabulous pub food. The cottage, its furnishing and equipment are all high quality - probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. Could have spent hours just on the window seat! We are already looking at coming back.
