Smithy Court, Craster

Northumberland. Sleeps up to 6

Craster 0.9 miles. Located in the idyllic hamlet of Dunstan and close to the fishing village of Craster in Northumberland, Smithy Court offers beautifully furnished and presented accommodation which is ideal for a family holiday or a small group of friends travelling together. The property has plenty of rooms giving guests loads of flexibility in terms of having space to get together and socialise, or space to get away from each other! The sitting room has ample seating with further seating in the bright and airy sunroom, which has doors opening outside so on warmer days you can throw open the doors and let the outside in. The good-sized kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to produce healthy food for the whole family and the adjoining dining room is wonderfully inviting with a rustic table all ready and set up to welcome guests to gather round and enjoy drinking and eating together. The fenced gardens are a delightful space in which to spend time with lawns and a patio area just perfect for the kids to run around in while the adults chill out. Hopefully the children will be suitably tired out, so going to bed won’t be a problem with three charming bedrooms to choose from; a double and two twins. All the bedrooms offer a relaxing space in which to rest your weary heads after an active day of getting out and about exploring and in the morning, you’ll be refreshed and raring to go. Take a stroll into Dunstan and Craster which was an important fishing harbour in the 17th century and is still famous for its oak cured kippers which have graced the best breakfast tables for more than 150 years. Nearby are some of Northumberland's finest sandy beaches. Just south of Craster is Howick Hall, which was built in 1782 and has associations with the Grey family, including Earl Grey the great social reformer and tea enthusiast. The gardens at Howick Hall are open to the public during the spring and summer and are especially worth a visit during the rhododendron season. A walk along the coastal footpath to the north of Craster brings you to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland. For a relaxing and enjoyable holiday in stunning surroundings, make sure to book a stay at Smithy Court.
