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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the ocean ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 893 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32923300/32923202/378b380a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Dunstan, near Craster Dunstan, near Craster - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-12&endDate=2026-01-13&selected=32923202&PinnedHotelID=32923202&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

It’s more like a home away from home and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. It’s always welcoming on arrival and hard to leave. Everyone at catch the breeze is warm and professional and easy to deal with. The housekeeping and cleanliness is the best I’ve come across. Catch the breeze is now my default choice when I want a break. ##### Angela This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 28 Sept 2024 #### Driftwood A splendid 2 week stay at the above cottage in Craster.
