Location
Down a lane, tucked behind Robson’s smokery in the small village of Craster, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the harbour, local pub, art gallery and cafe, and of course from the sea front. Sea views over the harbour from the rear garden sitting area.
For further information on the area, see our Craster pages.

Children at Coastguard’s Cottage 
Lovely garden with play equipment to suit children of all ages.
This garden is not visible from the house or fully enclosed so just falls short of our 5 starfish rating. Nevertheless excellent facilities for children. Travel cot (please bring your own cot linen) and highchair available on request.
Recommendations
Ideal for families with children who will appreciate the great garden. With two double bedrooms, the Coastguards Cottage also works well for two couples.
Booked with the Harbour Master’s House, which is just a 30 second walk away, the two cottages will work well for two families holidaying together.
Heating
Full central heating with logburner in the living room.
Please note: Whilst we take great care to represent our properties and their facilities as accurately as possible, the décor, furnishings and facilities shown in images and video tours may occasionally be subject to minor change.
Candid Comments
A short walk to the seafront but no sandy beach at Craster, just a spectacular rocky coastline with coastal footpath.
Parking at Coastguard’s is adequate for one car (but not a wide car) outside the house with parking for a second car available at the top of the lane, although this isn’t guaranteed. If you’re precious about your car, this may not suit you.
