Peaceful, comfortable, clean and private. We loved it here. Sitting on the decking watching the sea and the lambs was fabulous. Only a 10 minute walk to the nearest pub/restaurant, a short walk to the coastal path and friendly hosts nearby. We'll be back.

Unspoilt quiet fishing village. Excellent base for walking Northumbrian coast or travelling to Holy Island, Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Cragside, all of which surpassed our expectations. Jolly Fisherman in Craster and HorseShoe Inn in Rennington offer excellent local; food and ale. Very friendly staff everywhere.

We have been to Craster for day trips but not stayed in the village previously. It is a small fishing port now mostly a tourist destination for coastal walks especially to Dunstanburgh castle (ruins - dramatic views). Most accommodation is within 2 minutes of the sea and many have a sea view which is of a rocky shoreline but super views and very atmospheric. The England coast path passes through the village so there are super walks South to Howick (visit the Hall if you can - home to Earl Grey of tea fame) or North to Dunstanburgh Castle and Newton by the sea (Ship Inn a legend in beer and food locally). There is one pub in the village, the Jolly Fisherman, which is excellent for beer and food; and is opposite the famous Robson's smoke house (for kippers etc). There are also a couple of cafes in the village and occasional buses daily if you want to plan excursions without the car. As a base for visiting all of the Northumberland coast and towns such as Alnwick, this is a lovely spot, and is much quieter than nearby towns such as Seahouses which can be a bit noisy. We have been in the summer when it has been a lot busier but this time we went off season and it was much quieter. If you want lovely coastal views, good walks with food and drink nearby, and a bit of peace and quiet, this might be for you, especially if you visit off peak season.

a perfect spot even without a beach. a place to sit and people watch. there are no shops but eh ho there is a pub and two nearby cafes. lovely walk across the tops to Dunstanburgh castle which personally i thought was overpriced. each to their own. loved it. buses every hour so easy to get round

Crasher is a gem on the Northumberland coast. There are lots of walks, places to visit, Dunstanrough, bough Castle, Bambrough, Alnmouth, etc & there is a great pub with excellent seafood,a cafe & smokery. The people are genuinely very friendly. We will definitely return for another wonderful week.

Quiet and refreshing. Very close to the sea. Smell of kippers. Not over developed or commercialised though many of the cottages are for rent. Amazing sunsets. Take boots and coats but surprisingly dry.
