"We loved our stay at Maries cottage which was very well equipped, nice and warm and very welcoming."
The position on the Northumberland coast was perfect for visiting many interesting places, we would love to use the cottage again but realise that we are unable to.
Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The cottage is now available for bookings in 2025 Property Owner

"A welcoming, warm and cosy home from home."
Wish we had discovered Marie's Cottage decades ago. We would certainly have returned many times! Absolutely STUNNING views. Many thanks to all those who have let many of us share this cottage for a relaxing and restorative break, and ensured such faultless maintenance. Happy retirement to the owners! Can't fault you, but DO envy you!! ..

"Location, location, location and it’s certainly all about that."
We had a lovely stay at Marie’s cottage. Craster is a very special place with lovely people and, of course, the food at the Jolly Fisherman was a delight, we’ll definitely be back. 2 weeks wasn’t enough for us! The cottage is very well equipped and has amazing views. Cleaning could have been more thorough e.g. debris in the toaster, freezer and a dirty frying pan. A comfy new sofa but sadly the armchairs were not. The twin bedroom was beautifully presented but the attic king size room lacked in comparison but it was cozy and the bed comfortable. The welcome pack was also lacking - no local products, a packet of cheap biscuits, a handful of t bags, sugar and coffee sachets, a pint of milk but the bottle of wine was a nice touch, as too were the dog biscuits and tennis ball. Sadly the cottage won’t be available after this year as the owners will be retiring to there and who could blame them. Northumberland is a special place and we’re looking forward to our 4th visit in 2025.

"As ever, a wonderful relaxing stay."
We always feel so at home there. It’s comfortable and very cosy with the most wonderful views. We shall miss it.

"We have been staying at Marie's Cottage for a few years now and as always, thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
It is a special cottage in a special place. The cottage is comfortable and welcoming and wants for nothing, with regards to facilities. Lovely views over the harbour and out to the sea. Disappointed that this year is the last year for rentals, as the owners are planning to make it their permanent residence. However, we are very grateful that we have had the opportunity to share their cottage and make happy memories there. Craster has not seen the last of us yet!

"The best cottage we have ever stayed in."
Such a perfect location. Waking up to a view of Craster harbour and a resident seal was wonderful.

"One of the best cottages we have stayed in it would be helpful to know the EXACT parking arrangements BEFORE arrivalShower door morev suiitable to a vertical limbo dancer needs changing."
Please supply more toilet rolls 7 a kitchen roll
Thank you for your feedback, regarding the shower door, the door now opens more freely, so perhaps a little easier for a LIMBO DANCER to enter the shower, due to the proximity of the Hand Basin and Bathroom door, it is the only safe option.. Property Owner

"It’s a very welcoming and cosy Cottage, with a lovely view of the fishing harbour and the sea beyond."
Well equipped in the Kitchen, dining room and lounge….it’s all there! A wonderful place to relax and unwind, thank you.

"Loved the cottage and we were there for storm Babet so wonderful to have a cosy place to see the waves."
My elderly parents particularly loved how cosy and comfortable the cottage was. I loved how well equipped the kitchen is. Only small issue was the neighbours were quite rude to ensure we knew there was only 1 parking space and seemed a bit neurotic about it - apart from that loved the cottage.
-
"We had a fantastic week at Marie's Cottage."
It's a lovely home and very comfortable with lots of resources. We spent ages just sitting outside and people watching/ bird watching/ dolphin watching. Fabulous. Communication with Diana was always positive. If I were to have any suggestions, pint glasses would be useful and if towels were provided it would just have been a bit more convenient.
-
"The cottage was like a home away from home with everything we needed to enjoy our stay."
My one criticism would be that the curtains in the top bedroom let too much light in, especially when you consider that the sun rises at that side of the house. A secondary blind or shutters would be useful. I appreciate that this is a relatively minor issue and that it should not take away from the fact that the cottage was one of the best that we’ve ever stayed in.

Well appointed , clean and in a superb location close to the harbour. We will be back again next year for our treat

"We stayed for a fortnight and settled in as at home after a day."
Perfect for a couple with two children. Truly lovely property, the location, the rooms, the view; warm and with space to spread out over three floors. Fully equipped kitchen, fast internet and Netflix, A home to stay in most of Christmas and New Years days, to walk the dog early in the morning before day trippers arrive, to look at the dark starlit skies when they leave. And visit the area's beaches and towns. Recommended!

The property
Maries Cottage is a restored fisherman’s cottage enjoying a sublime setting in the pretty harbour of Craster in Northumberland.
Perfect for a family break, the property combines character features with all the home comforts you would expect from a high quality holiday home.
The inviting sitting room is incredibly welcoming with a feature beamed ceiling, original sash windows and a traditional inglenook fireplace with inlaid woodburning stove, creating a warming focal point to the room and is somewhere you can imagine curling up together and enjoying each other’s company.
The kitchen is fully fitted and comes with everything needed to produce delicious food for the whole family and the adjoining dining room is really stylish and set up ready for guests to gather and indulge in leisurely meals together.
The outside courtyard is a delightful, sunny spot to soak up any rays and enjoy eating and drinking alfresco.
All that fresh sea air will have tired everyone out, so guests can choose from two elegant bedrooms, a twin and a king-size; both are beautifully presented and give guests the opportunity to recharge their batteries.
Make sure you find time for a relaxing soak in the feature slipper bath which adds a real touch of luxury to the accommodation.
You’re in a great location at Maries Cottage overlooking the harbour of Craster which boasts some of the best beaches in Northumberland.
Just south of Craster is Howick Hall, which was built in 1782 and has associations with the Grey family, including Earl Grey the great social reformer and tea enthusiast.
The gardens at Howick Hall are open to the public during the spring and summer and are especially worth a visit during the rhododendron season.
A walk along the coastal footpath to the north of Craster brings you to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland.
A beautiful cottage in a stunning harbourside location, Maries Cottage offers a holiday home-from-home which will delight and inspire guests.

CRASTER
Alnwick 7 miles; Embleton 3 miles.
A picturesque village that seems to tumble into the sea, Craster was an important fishing harbour in the 17th century and is still famous for its oak cured kippers which have graced the best breakfast tables for more than 150 years. The village offers a pub serving food, a fish restaurant and Robson's famous fish shop. There is also an excellent children's playground. Nearby are some of Northumberland's finest sandy beaches.
