Situated at the end of a terrace of 19th century cottages in postcard-pretty Craster, close enough to the harbour wall to hear the squaw of herring gulls and the slap of the sea, Harbourway is a haven of seaside calm – and one of our larger Craster properties.

Stoutly built from local whinstone, topped by slate, with double-fronted bay windows looking down onto the harbour, the cottage has been sensitively modernised while retaining true to its 19th century heritage.

Harbourway is definitely the best holiday house we have stayed in and we are regular visitors to Northumberland. Everything was so clean and comfortable. Craster is a great base to explore different locations. We had a great walk to the castle and onto Embleton. We will definitely be back

I hired Harbourway as the base for my photography shoot on the Northumberland coast. The house was great in terms of comfort and facilities and only a very short walk to a great pub! Wills be great for a holiday too! Craster is a lovely little fishing village and home to the amazing Coaster smokehouse...the kippers and smoked salmon are a must buy!



excellent venue and location

The property was immaculate, access was simple, customer service excellent. Welcome milk and essentials in the kitchen.
All pre-decorated for Christmas, including a Christmas present for the dog which had treats and a 'doggy' towel.
The house was very warm, possibly a little too warm but this can be adjusted remotely with a phone call to the office.
Very comfortable and very well appointed, great views of the harbour. The bathrooms although very well appointed are small. Beds very comfortable. We booked Christmas week which was quite expensive but we had an amazing stay. Phone coverage in the village is very poor (tescos & O2) Wi-Fi in the house very good. if you are planning a trip, I found inputting the details in to Google maps using the WIFI before leaving the house was more effective. Some areas locally were difficult to get signal to do this just using the phone.

A well appointed property in an excellent location, with coastal walks from the door and a very nice pub serving good food within a couple of hundred yards.
A larger cafetiere or perhaps a second one would be useful but other than that we had all that we needed for a lovely autumn break.
Apart from the coast, visits to Alnwick and Morpeth were much enjoyed.

We stayed at Harbourway this year so we could take our dog away with us which was a real bonus. We usually stay in Middlerigg. Lovely house, well equipped and presented with lots of outdoor space and a safe garden front and back for our dog. The downstairs bedroom felt a little small for the two adults that stayed in there. The upstairs middle bedroom felt very small. We had two children in there and it was very tight for them and they felt it was too small for them which caused frustration. Sadly, the kitchen also felt small and difficult to get around when there were a few people in it, which might be frustrating when travelling with a few other adults. Location is perfect, close to the sea and the pub with plenty of parking for two large cars. We really enjoyed our stay but I think the size of the middle upstairs room makes it difficult for anyone other than small children to stay in there.



This place is Beautiful!

This cottage is just amazing, from the initial view walking up the immaculate garden and path, to an absolutely stunning cottage inside, you will not have a nicer holiday stay. The cottage has been fitted out to an exceptionally high standard and the layout was just fantastic for our holiday, breakfast on the patio, dinner in the dining room, drinks before dinner in the kitchen and to relax in the living room in the sumptuous sofa's. the attention to detail is second to none. the view from the harbour, while having breakfast outside was our most memorable moments for sure. The beds are so comfortable and bedrooms well laid out and suited our families requirements perfectly with the en-suite bathrooms. I cannot praise how nice this property is and how much of a nice time you will have at this cottage. this is one of the nicest, well appointed cottages we have stopped in. The other favourite thing of ours were the two window seats, perfect for watching the sea and the weather come in and to drink a nice mug of tea, while reading or snoozing! perfect! This a a perfect place to stay to explore Northumberland, I can recommend the Craster kipper sandwiches at the Craster car park just up the road, especially the bacon one with Haggis in, called the Auchter Muchty. Food at the local pub is to die for, (just remember to book well in advance to get a table), recommend the fish platter, but all the food is nice especially the Sunday dinner, as well as the Craster kippers from the smokery on the Harbour side. This is our second time visiting Craster and we will definitely book again for next year. If "Carlsberg" made holiday cottages, this would be it.

A very comfortable house very nicely furnished with everything you would need. My only problem was that it was not clear to me that it was unsuitable for disabled people. I had checked there was a ground floor bedroom and bathroom but my husband had a great deal of difficulty with the steps up to the house. Probably my fault for not double checking.
