A lovely New Year in Northumberland

Our second stay at Craster Reach. The house was very clean and has everything you could need. A perfect location to explore the area. A lovely New Year finished off with snow!

The property is absolutely stunning

I can quite honestly say this is the most beautiful, well appointed house we have ever stayed in - the interior decorating is so perfect for the property - calm & totally relaxing from the moment you walk in. The bedrooms are all spacious & the soft furnishings and bedding are so comfortable & cosy that we took photos of the brand so we could purchase ourselves ! The kitchen area is fantastic - the 2 fridges & 2 dishwashers an absolute boon when there are 10 of you. There was absolutely nothing missing utensil & crockery wise - in fact it was such a refreshing change to have plenty of bowls, plates, glasses etc (including children’s plates/cups etc which was great for us). It doesn’t stop inside either ! The exterior is very attractive, lovely lawned areas where we played ladder golf & the toddlers could run around with their football. I loved the fact there were plenty of throws provided so that we could sit out later in the evening round the enormous outside table. The wild life that comes around the house is a wonderful bonus - whilst we were there we were visited by a deer, a fox, hares, pheasants, herons & a whole hosts of other birds (& by the way there was a pair of binoculars left in the house for us to use too !). The location of the property is perfect too - less than a 10 minute stroll across the field at the back & you are on the dunes & down to an absolutely stunning beach. As you can tell we were totally smitten with this home & would love to return - the perfect place for a family/friends get away ! Just wanted to mention Clare, Sam & Tara from Catch The Breeze who all looked after us so wonderfully well.

Outstanding Cottage in the heart of Craster

I spent weeks researching Northumberland coastal retreats so let me save you some time, book Driftwood! It is simply outstanding. 

Firstly Craster is an idyllic seaside village perfectly located to explore the area, with amazing walks on your doorstep and The Jolly Fisherman pub is divine. One of our requisites is private parking and the cottage has two good spaces. 

Driftwood is beautifully decorated with the highest quality furnishings and appliances. The cottage has everything you need, the kitchen is especially well equipped. We were unfortunately not blessed with the weather so we made good use of the woodburner and the cottage was such a sanctuary after very wet and windy trips out. I loved sitting in the window seat watching the huge waves crashing against the harbour wall. 

I highly recommend Driftwood and Catch the Breeze retreats. Their attention to detail and customer care is exceptional.

Another amazing stay

Stayed for a long weekend with family. Our 3rd booking with Catch the Breeze. The position overlooking the sea is unrivaled with large kitchen/living/dining area where the family could come together to eat, drink and socialise.

The bedrooms are all pretty much the same so no fighting over who has the best. The downstairs bathroom is separate to one of the bedrooms but gorgeous and next door. The upstairs living room is the highlight.

Gorgeous comfy sofas with bifold doors that open onto the balcony overlooking the sea. We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my husbands birthday with all our children and have already booked to come back in October with friends. Highly recommend.
