Short break in Northumberland

Had a lovely short break at the Cottage Inn, excellent location within walking distance of Craster and in a central position on the Northumberland Coast. Good base for anyone travelling in the area. The hotel has a real "pub feel" to it which we enjoyed as the locals were in the bar each evening which made a good atmosphere. Will certainly return

Overall a very pleasant stay.

Overall, our stay at the Cottage Inn was good. The parking is to the rear of the hotel which was located next to a spacious beer garden, which was fantastic for our dogs who were warmly welcomed. The hotel staff were all very attentive. The location is excellent, with a short walk to the coast and numerous walks right at our doorstep.
