Craster Cottage | Rock Lobster - a family friendly that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

4 Bedroom Cottage in Craster, Alnwick

Pull up on the drive of Rock Lobster, and you are immediately struck by how much you start to hear the world differently. Simple sounds all the more audible, somehow—the crunch of the gravel under tyre; on any given day, the North Sea lisping, washing or crashing against the stubborn volcanic rocks. The wind whistling a breezy sea shanty or carrying with it the billowing of Norse gods. One thing, however, remains constant: the utter calm and mesmerising tranquillity of Rock Lobster. Step through the slate blue front door, and the combination of space, light and quality fixtures and fittings instantly say that you're going to enjoy this break. The sense of openness is soothing and rejuvenating.
Rock Lobster's open plan kitchen/diner/living room dispenses with blinds or window dressings to take full advantage of the superb views out to sea. The elegant kitchen, with its cool blue hues and dining area, is the perfect place to watch the sunrise. An oven and warming drawer, induction hob, two dishwashers, American-style stainless steel fridge/freezer, and microwave makes feeding eight guests a breeze. A dining table to accommodate your whole party is a sociable way to start or end the day. The lounge area with its large comfy sofa and armchairs comes with a wall-mounted TV, electric wood burner-style stove, and patio doors to the front of the property. There's also a handy utility room with washing machine and condenser tumble drier, and a cloakroom with WC and basin.
Two of the four bedrooms are on the ground floor. One with a double bed and ensuite shower room and WC. The other that can be made up as either a super-king or twin beds and a bathroom that also has a walk-in shower, and WC. It's been said that nearby Dunstanburgh Castle was built to resemble and outshine the castles built in Wales. And it's from Wales that Rock Lobster borrows too, with Melin Tregwynt Welsh woollen blankets and throws adorning all the beds; simple in spirit, satisfying in quality and timeless in design.
The main lounge occupies the house's prime spot on the first floor. There are enticing, comfy sofas and a smart TV, although the bifold doors to the balcony with stunning sea views will probably mean you'll watch less TV than ever. Don't be surprised if you're rewarded with the sight of dolphins dancing.
There are another two bedrooms on the first floor, each with a king-size bed, ensuite shower room and WC, although a shrewd guest will work out which one has the Juliet balcony with stunning views and bagsy that one first.
With central and underfloor heating, all power, linen and towels taken care of, you're free to kick back and plan your Northumberland adventures. The world's your oyster. Or is that lobster?
Full-length doors lead out to the patio area with its tasteful wooden table and chairs—it is many a guest's favourite spot. The secure wrap around lawn is as simple and well-kept as the house.
The converted garage is now a games room with table tennis, table football, sofas, separate shower room, WC and basin—handy if the North Sea winds bring with them inclement weather.
There's parking on the drive for up to four cars.
Within walking distance of Rock Lobster is a brilliant children's playground, Jolly Fisherman pub, The Shoreline Cafe, Mick Oxley Art Studio as well as the famous tiny horseshoe harbour and L Robson & Sons for your legendary Craster Kippers (not to be missed).

Karen G. May 9, 2025 09:15:25 PM

Summary: Rock Lobster is such a stunning property our group of friends would highly recommend booking. The cleanliness, attention to detail and support from Clare and Tara made the holiday so easy to enjoy!!

Summary: Very clean, comfortable and well fitted out. No complaints. Thoroughly enjoyed views over the sea. Garden and surroundings well maintained.

Valerie B. Mar 25, 2025 04:26:11 PM

Summary: This is possibly the best equipped holiday cottage we have stayed at. High end equipment too! Very clean & comfortable. The only slight criticism is we felt rather exposed downstairs as everyone on the coastal path unashamedly stares in!! We shall certainly be recommending Rock Lobster & are making plans to return.

Summary: I almost want to keep this wonderful house a secret so that we can get to visit it again… however it deserves a shining review The location is fantastic , the views over the sea provided sunrises and sunsets we will never forget . Sitting out on the balcony on a morning was just the dream , we were exceptionally lucky with sunny weather every day. The house is gorgeous, the best equipped house we have ever stayed in and beautifully styled to a very high standard, bathrooms were excellent, constant hot water for 8 people is also to be commended! . The most comfortable beds , the Welsh blankets are such a lovely touch ,all our guests commented on them. The games room in the garage was a lovely surprise and the grandchildren (and adults) loved it The fact that the house is a stones throw from one one of the best gastro pubs ever is just the icing on the cake , we went many times and have been before in Summer when it’s outside area is open, which is also lovely , they’ve achieved that rare pub balance of being very welcoming for drinkers as well as diners . Rock Lobster we will be back!

Diane H. Jan 20, 2025 10:16:41 PM

Summary: This is a lovely house with great views, very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for a great weekend break. There are some good local walks to do and the pub in the village does a great fish platter

Tim Lofthouse Dec 19, 2024 04:59:01 PM

Summary: Our first stay at Rock Lobster and can't see it being our last. The accommodation is first class, the setting is perfect, as I sit here looking at a fantastic sunrise across the sea. Everything you need is on hand and rooms are very comfortable.
