The house was a good size, being upside down took a couple of days to get used to but after all was good, there were plenty of kitchen utensils you may need, all bedding and linen is there as well Literally 2 minutes from Harbour and the pub kids park a couple of minutes more overlooking the sea

We used the house to bring our extended family together over Christmas.

We used the house to bring our extended family together over Christmas. The open plan living area (which is on the upstairs level) with kitchen, dining and lounge was absolutely perfect for our purposes. The bedrooms on the ground floor are fairly compact, but cosy and perfectly comfortable. The house is also incredibly warm (we even tried to turn the heating off). The location is fantastic, just two minutes walk to Craster harbour and the stunning coastal footpath walks plus The Jolly Fisherman pub. Do try the famous kippers from Robsons traditional smokehouse in the village too - delicious!
