Middlerigg

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Bathrooms
The motherly arms of Craster harbour’s two whinstone piers hold a protective embrace. The resulting small cove shelters from the wild North Sea. It has welcomed Craster’s fishermen and their cobles for generations. Ramshackle stacks of lobster pots mirror the ragged silhouette of tumbledown Dunstanbugh Castle in the distance. Plucky oystercatchers peep support for their industrious colleagues, frantically strutting and prodding in the mud. The orange of their elongated beaks a close match for Middlerigg’s pantile roof that sits in contrast above its dark grey stone walls. Proudly, the house looks down at the boats resting at jaunty angles below, each one decorated with ropes strewn with oversized colourful plastic baubles. If Craster is the harbour, then the harbour is Middlerigg.

What our guests say

A perfect stay

We had the perfect stay, the property was exceptionally well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views from the bedroom windows were breathtaking and we enjoyed watching the sunsets each night. The early morning were so tranquil and the front garden/terrace was perfect for a morning cuppa and catching the early sunshine. The washer/dryer was also a godsend after a long day at the beach. We're already planning when we can next return!

Ms Fretwell

Fantastic house in a stunning location, on a dark night the sky is so big with no light pollution. The house was warm, immaculately clean with plentiful supply of kitchen utensils for cooking a celebration meal. Ben the house manager very helpful and keen to make our stay special He had the log burners roaring for our arrival which was a lovely touch. The swimming pool was a massive hit with the children. What a special house, can't wait to return.

Mr Ellwood

A luxury stay in a beautiful place

This was our first holiday since 2017 and we decided to treat ourselves to a really good holiday cottage. We chose Driftwood and were not disappointed!

Every comfort was provided for, the welcome package was exceptional, the decor was tasteful and we absolutely loved it. Having a good sized en suite meant that both we and our teenage daughter could have use of a nice bathroom.

The kitchen was really well-supplied with crockery, cutlery and utensils.

The sitting room was comfortable and the TV very new and all hooked up to the Wi-Fi.

The location is stunning with views down the hill to the sea. Craster itself is beautiful and only 15 minutes drive from Alnwick so you get the best of both worlds in terms of how you spend your time.

We had a brilliant week and would thoroughly recommend Driftwood to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Mrs Barnes-White

Family get together, (delayed) birthday celebrations, and big hills

It's hard to imagine a more perfect setting for a family gathering. We got everyone together for Granma Dawn's 80th (2 years late due to covid) and the first time her family had all been together for over 20 years. The first reaction from everyone was 'this place is amazing' and so it proved. The layout, decor, fixtures and fittings all contributed to the atmosphere of relaxation, celebration, and togetherness; the pool and sauna provided that little touch of luxury; while the setting in the Dales gave some of us exhilarating (and sometimes breathless) views from the saddles of our bikes. We will definitely be back.

Mr Peel

Fantastic house and gardens for a family get together

3 generations getting together for a family holiday - ages 13 to 88. Loved the space in the house and the mix of original features with modern upgrade. Really clean with everything you could need. Extremely comfortable with plenty of space inside (several living rooms) and outside. Beautiful gardens and surrounding location stunning. We had a chef with us and the large kitchen worked perfectly for great family dining. Great cycling and walking from the doorstep though walking best if you drive a couple of miles first. Swimming pool was 12m and lovely and clean / fresh.
