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 ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19510000/19501200/19501115/w790h488x0y0-fabc7bb2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy home for a peaceful getaway great for walkers and lovers of the outdoors Craster - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=19501115&PinnedHotelID=19501115&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72510000/72503200/72503106/e19fae52.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rock Lobster - a family friendly that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms Alnwick - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 66 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=72503106&PinnedHotelID=72503106&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90910000/90904400/90904380/2765ee9b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harbourway - a pet friendly that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms Craster, Alnwick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 39 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=90904380&PinnedHotelID=90904380&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher, high chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70450000/70444100/70444037/eda0db63.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lilac Cottage Dunstan Dunstan near Craster - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=70444037&PinnedHotelID=70444037&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![4 bedrooms, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32920600/32920526/52279153.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 bedroom accommodation in Craster near Alnwick Craster near Alnwick - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=32920526&PinnedHotelID=32920526&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33593400/33593375/86c6bcef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stone Cottage In Peaceful Northumberland Village.
