Return to beautiful Craster

Craster never disappoints. With views of Dunstanburgh castle from outside and upstairs this small cottage is the perfect place to stay if you want to enjoy this stretch of coast. Ideally placed for walks north and south and a stones throw from the award winning Jolly Fisherman it offers everything you might need for your Northumbrian getaway.

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.

Fabulous house in amazing location

This is the third time our family have stayed at the old water mill.

The house is spacious, beautifully furnished and is in an amazing location, a short walk across the field to the beach, but the wild life comes right up to the door, we saw hares, deer, herons , egrets, a barn owl and a family of mallards with eight ducklings.

The weather last week threw everything at us but every day we had plenty to do with the beaches and the rich northumberland heritage, then back to relaxing in comfort at the mill.

A special shout out also to Clare, who made us feel so welcome and for whom nothing is too much trouble.

We will of course be returning.

A very well equipped and comfortable house

We have stayed in several houses in Craster over the years but Craster Reach is the favorite.

A very comfortable and well equipped house, very convenient for delicious meals at The Jolly Fisherman
and the many walks around Craster.

Catch the Breeze Retreats provide outstanding properties and offer great service.

Fourth visit and still perfect

This was the fourth time that we have visited Middlerigg and every time our stay has been perfect. We plan to return next year!
