Description
Experience what it is like to stay in your own country pub (sorry beer not provided!) at this former 18th Century ale house just a short walk from the popular coastal village of Craster. From the beautiful vintage furniture, handpainted as part of its recent renovation, to the grand inglenook fireplace, this cottage has a real sense of history with appealing contemporary flourishes.
The Old Ale House is a real gem of a holiday cottage. Let your cares drift away in the freestanding, claw-footed bath, snuggle up by the log burner, or try your hand at the owner’s favourite seafood recipe on the wall of the dining kitchen. At just a minute’s walk from the pub, and 10 minutes from the centre of Craster village with its dining options, you’ll be delighted that The Old Ale House is now your holiday home and no longer a pub! Fun and quirky, this house will offer couples, or up to five guests (with a sofa bed on request), a great getaway.
