About this property

Harbourway - a pet friendly that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Harbourway sits on West End, the curving road that runs gently downhill to Craster's double-walled quay. It's the end house of a pair, and faces south, with the charming front garden offering panoramic views down to the harbour and the North Sea. It also ensures you're a little removed from the village hustle and bustle.

Inside, Harbourway has everything you'd expect of a traditional seaside cottage. Beams and wooden effect porcelain floors run throughout, and decorative touches hint at the house's maritime heritage – a pair of oars placed over a hearth, a wicker crab pot, a porthole window peeping out onto blue northern skies. Unusually for Craster, Harbourway offers plenty of parking – there's space for upto four cars.

On one side of the house is the spacious living room, a cosy space for relaxing, with deep sofas to sink into, and a wood burner recessed into the handsome inglenook fireplace. On the other side is the dining room, with another impressive granite fireplace with electric wood burning stove providing the focal point. Both have big bay windows with window seats to make the most of the views.

From here, arched French doors open out onto the sun-room, a light-filled space filled with additional seating, and warmed by underfloor heating. Another set of sliding doors leads out onto the front patio - perfect for sunny summer breakfasts.

The kitchen is at the back of the house, open-plan in design and cottagey in feel. It's fully equipped with an integrated dishwasher, electric range cooker, american fridge freezer, washer/dryer and a wine fridge. A small passageway leads past the stairs to a cosy bedroom with en-suite shower room, the first of four, tucked away into the northeast corner of the cottage and very private. The bed in this room can be made up as either a super-king or twin beds.

There are three more bedrooms upstairs: two further en-suite shower rooms, with another twin sandwiched between, and a modern family bathroom at the top of the stairs. The cottagey feel continues up here: pine doors, solid wooden beams and the super comfy beds are dressed with Melin Tregwynt woollen blankets.

Harbourway is also dog-friendly - you're welcome to bring along a well-behaved canine companion, as long as it's at least a year old.

If you fancy exploring Craster, just downhill from the cottage you'll find the legendary local fishmonger L. Robson and Sons, famous for their smoked kippers, and the Jolly Fisherman Inn, a friendly local hangout and a fine spot for an evening pint.

Northumbrian heaven
Thank you once again Catch the Breeze for a fantastic week on the Northumbrian coast. Harbourway is a great rental - the layout is so well designed and the spaces cleverly thought out. My only observation would be that the third bedroom upstairs is tight as a double and might be better suited to kids rather than 2 adults but everything else was excellent - its kitted out so well with their usual flair and all my guests staying with me commented on what an incredibly nice house it is! With parking for 4 cars it makes it easy for 8 adults if they have all come from separate directions and the kitchen is spacious enough for people to cook and chat at the same time! Lovely outside space with a view of the harbour and then a snug wood burner for those chillier evenings. In fact the air source pump and under floor heating almost work too well and returning to the house after a day's walking the coast it would be almost too hot inside! I would thoroughly recommend this house and company - there were some lovely touches - the food welcome pack, having a wine fridge, the doggie goody bag, 5* appliances in the kitchen.

Easter 2024
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

A week away
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 lovely property for an autumn break.
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.
