If you're searching for a classic Craster fisherman's cottage, you'll most certainly find it in Driftwood. The exterior is classic Craster: hand-shaped local stone , little windows and a slate-tiled roof, with a sweet front garden accessed via its own white picket gate. There’s also a decked seating area at the front where you can sit and enjoy the sun and watch the daily goings-on down in the harbour. Inside, Driftwood is packed with period charm – from the original fireplace to the cosy bedrooms, it makes the perfect cosy bolthole for your Northumberland adventures.

We loved our stay in this beautiful cottage. Perfectly situated to explore the beautiful Northumberland coast line. The cottage is very comfortable, fully equipped and furnished to a very high standard.



Wonderful!

We have stayed in Craster several times, but Driftwood was by far the best and most comfortable by far. Would thoroughly recommend it.

The cottage is in one of our favourite locations on the Northumberland coast and has a harbour view
Beautifully warm and refurbished to a high standard, Driftwood was inviting and comfortable to come home to after a day out.
We always enjoy a holiday by the sea, and Driftwood was one of the best cottages we have stayed in Craster





Excellent

We had a wonderful week staying in this delightful cottage which is furnished to a very high standard and fully equipped.

We look forward to returning, hopefully very soon.



Another great accommodation from Catch the Breeze

A week away in our go-to county. We love Craster. Ideal for us to celebrate a birthday.
Having experienced this company before we were confident that the house would be great. There was an initial problem with getting warm enough which was addressed remotely
We look forward to staying in more of Catch the Breeze properties in 2024, with friends.
We enjoyed eating at The Jolly Fisherman twice and The Potted Lobster in Bamburgh



perfect cottage and perfect location

Enjoyed being in such a well designed cottage with a real feel of luxury. It was in a great location too being quiet and friendly and within easy reach of so many places to visit.

We did not watch much TV but every time we used it , if we wanted to change the volume, a rogue electronic voice shouted out the volume and source of the programme so we could not hear the dialogue! Any interruption was painfully loud.
I did not know how to fix it. I think it was caused by the sound bar.I hope someone fixes it for the next guests.

Thank you for your review. I am so delighted to read that you had the perfect holiday. I am sorry that you experienced problems with the sound on the television. We would have been able to send someone from the team over to fix this so that this was rectified during your stay. Thank you for bringing this to our attention now though and I am pleased to report that this has now been fixed.

A luxury stay in a beautiful place

This was our first holiday since 2017 and we decided to treat ourselves to a really good holiday cottage. We chose Driftwood and we were not disappointed!
Every comfort was provided for, the welcome package was exceptional, the decor was tasteful and we absolutely loved it.
Having a good sized en suite meant that both we and our teenage daughter could have the use of a nice bathroom.
The kitchen was really well-supplied with crockery, cutlery and utensils.
The sitting room was comfortable and the TV very new and all hooked up to the Wi-Fi.
The location is stunning with views down the hill to the sea. Craster itself is beautiful and only 15 minutes drive from Alnwick so you get the best if both worlds in terms of how you spend your time.
We had a brilliant week and would thoroughly recommend Driftwood to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.



Fantastic cottage

Brilliant cottage and super clean! I would say Driftwood is near on perfect! The location is brilliant and was a very comfortable stay.
The only issue I’ve got is the huge price increase by near double for the following year there for I won’t be returning which is a huge shame.
