Beautiful house, right next to the coast with lovely views and the restful sound of the tide. Rooms are nicely furnished and everything was spotless. The kitchen was particularly well equipped. It made a lovely base for exploring the local area.

Watching the seals at Craster

We spent a great week at this lovely property. It’s right by the sea and we could spot seals swimming up and down. The property has everything you could wish for inside and outside there is a large garden and a games room with table tennis and bar football. We all loved it and we’re very sad to leave.

Another wonderful stay in Rock Lobster - always a special time with family. Perfect

We love our annual week at Rock Lobster with the family. The house works perfectly and the location and sea views are wonderful. An excellent base for traditional British seaside fun. Lovely coastal walks to beaches, cafes and pubs. House and garden so good for all the family and can kayak from the shore. Very friendly staff and service and we’ll be back. Thank you.

It was our second time staying at Rock Lobster and it was as wonderful as last time

We find the property very well equipped and it has everything that we needed for a weeks stay together. The beds are very comfortable, and of course the views are stunning.

The perfect holiday home in a wonderful location

Rock Lobster proved to be the perfect venue to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary with 3 generations of our family, in the county where we were married, The house had everything we needed for a large group, all the furnishings were very comfortable and the 2 dishwashers proved especially useful. There was plenty of space for group gatherings but also areas of the house to provide an escape for quiet moments. The games room and large garden were a hit with younger members of the family and the upstairs balcony, with its panoramic views, was the perfect spot for the adults to enjoy an early evening drink. I hope we can return to Rock Lobster in the not too distant future.

Another great stay in this lovely house!

This was our second stay at Rock Lobster. The house is perfect for a girls getaway - the views are just amazing and even though the weather wasn’t so good this year, we all had a great break away from it all. Love this place and will return.

Fantastic property with fabulous views and furnished to a very high standard. Lovely local walks and beaches. Loads of nearby pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. Games room in garage a bonus for kids and adults alike. Loved the upstairs balcony with beautiful view to chill with a wine, book or coffee.

Great place, great location.

This was our second stay at Rock Lobster. The house is lovely and in a perfect location. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with a wonderful view and access to the sea. Craster is only a few minutes walk way and perfectly located to take advantage of all that is great about Northumberland. The icing on the cake is the service support that comes with this and all the other Catch the Breeze properties. It is so good to have such good support and information provided by the team. First class place to stay.

Nothing short of excellent

Amazing - nothing short of exceptional in every way! There is nothing I would change. The linen and towels were beautiful, the beds super comfy, the kitchen had everything that is needed and the views from the upstairs sitting room were unbeatable! I am considering booking g again for next year already! Thank you for everything

Beautiful property, with amazing views

We had a fabulous return visit to Rock Lobster at beginning of May. Everything was even better than we remembered, house so comfortable & views absolutely beautiful, saw dolphins from balcony twice during our stay. Clare from Catch The Breeze on hand if anything needed, nothing any trouble. Really didnt want to leave, but hope to return again.

Fabulous Winter Break

We had an amazing 4 days at Rock Lobster which was in a fabulous location. The views of the shoreline and the sea from the kitchen room and the upstairs lounge were spectacular. Despite lots of rain and snow, we were totally warm and snug throughout the stay.
