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 ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32923300/32923202/839a96c2.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 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-15&endDate=2026-04-16&selected=32923202&PinnedHotelID=32923202&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-15&endDate=2026-04-16&selected=90904383&PinnedHotelID=90904383&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=90904383,32923202) ## 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.

We loved sitting around the table at the front, looking out over the harbour. Kitchen was very well equipped and it was easy to cook simple meals on several nights. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms spacious and clean. We enjoyed walks from the house, eating at the Cottage Inn nearby, take away fish and chips just up the road (open Fri, Sat and Sun) and Craster kippers. The owners provided a list of equipment and supplies before we arrived and suggestions for what we needed to bring which was very helpful. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Pope Lodge At Hallsteads](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Pope-Lodge-At-Hallsteads.h60098501.Hotel-Information) > - [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > - [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > - [Spence Lodge At Hallsteads](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Spence-Lodge-At-Hallsteads.h60098963.Hotel-Information) > - [The Tankerville Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Tankerville-Arms.h34500811.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > - [Old Colliery Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Shilbottle.h92312684.Hotel-Information) > - [South Stable At Hallsteads](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-South-Stable-At-Hallsteads.h60099306.Hotel-Information) > - [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > - [Newton Hall Courtyard Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Courtyard-Rooms.h96173019.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > - [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pepper Pot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-The-Pepper-Pot.h70030029.Hotel-Information) > - [Dunstanburgh Castle Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-The-Dunstanburgh-Castle-Hotel.h110484638.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > - [Westlea Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Westlea-Guest-House.h24283492.Hotel-Information) > - [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > - [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > - [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > - [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) ---
