About this cottage rental
The cottage is only a minute's walk up Haven Hill from Craster's harbourfront, so you're right in the heart of the village here, but the cottage is set back from the road, guaranteeing peace and quiet.
Driftwood is one of a cluster of similar cottages, most of which date from the late 1800s (in fact, it's right next door to one of our other Craster properties, Harbourway).
Like the other cottages in the terrace, it's pretty as a postcard. Step through the gate and walk up the garden path to the house, then enter the delightful open plan kitchen/dining/living room a beautifully designed space with deep sofas a window seat to view harbour life taking place, and a gorgeous stone fireplace, the hearth charred coal-black by a couple of centuries' worth of open fires (thankfully, for ease of use, there's a woodburner these days).
The room sets the decorative tone for the rest of the house: light walls, pine doors, wood effect porcelain floors and knick-knacks dotted around for character. The kitchen is compact but well equipped, with induction hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and a washer dryer. At the rear of the property, there is a further small stone seating area with a barbecue, ideal for summertime suppers.
Both bedrooms are upstairs, and furnished in our "Catch the Breeze" signature style; one has an en-suite shower room and there is also a further bathroom in between them. If it gets really chilly there is air source central heating throughout keeping the cottage toasty, but once the woodburner's roaring away downstairs you more than likely won't need them.
Handily, there are two parking spaces – a rarity in Craster – and the cottage is in a super spot for exploring: Dunstanburgh Castle is just north along the coast, while southwards, the coast path leads to Cullernose Point. Don't miss picking up some smoked fish from the harbourside curing sheds: a fresh kipper makes the ultimate Craster breakfast.
A well-behaved dog is welcome: all we also ask that they're aged one or over.

We have stayed in another Catch The Breeze before and Driftwood is every bit as good as we hoped. Loved it!

We've visited a few different properties in Craster, so this was our first time with Catch The Breeze staying at Driftwood. What a find! Beautiful property inside and out, just right for 4 guests. Great facilities, very clean and comfortable. We were lucky to have excellent weather for early March, so we could make use of the seating at the front and enjoy the sun. Perfect for watching the world go by plus a lovely view of the harbour. The team at Catch The Breeze were very friendly and helpful too which was a bonus. Highly recommended.

Having stayed in a few cottages in Craster, Driftwood was by far the best. It was warm and cosy throughout and decorated to a high standard. The window seat in the lounge area was a delight for gazing across the harbour and out to sea. Fantastic woodburner, for relaxing nights in. Very comfortable beds and amazing ensuite shower room. Also, one of the biggest baths we have ever seen in the second bathroom. Facilities wise, there was everything you could possibly need. Lovely welcome pack on arrival and a 'check in' from a member of the Catch The Breeze team, after we had settled in, to see if all was ok. We had also been contacted to say the cottage was ready for our arrival, ahead of the allotted time. These i thought, were a nice touch.
All in all, a delightful cottage managed by a company whose customer service is second to none. We will return.....

Wonderful holiday cottage. So cosy, clean and tastefully decorated. We’ve had a brilliant week and the cottage was a fabulous last minute find. Good base to do plenty of dog walks and explore Northumberland. The Jolly Fisherman is a brilliant pub/restaurant which we have enjoyed several times and would highly recommend.
