The Arch
Craster village
A gorgeous 18th century cottage in the centre of the hugely popular village of Craster. Access to the cottage is via a stone archway, originally the entrance to a stable courtyard, of which this is part. Great care has been lavished upon its interior to provide the most homely and luxurious of holiday homes for four. There are period features galore, with exposed beams, an original open fire in cast iron surround and some lovely quirky elements tucked into its high end furnishing scheme. Its location is prime, within a minute of the sea, and even less to the village pub(!), so whether you’re staying in, or going out, this little gem has all angles covered!
