Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Comfy beds well stocked kitchen. Ideal home from home will be back.

The sea view from upstairs is great. Very good for coastal walks.

"A beautiful place to stay, with a view out over the North sea from the upstairs lounge window."
Facilities were excellent and it was a great base from which to explore the delights of Northumbria, Embleton, Alnmouth, Alnwick, Dunstanborough Castle and Warkworth to name a few. TV a little complicated to work and connection fees associated with some of the more popular channels (Amazon Prime and Netflix for example), but other than that a lovely, warm and comfortable place to stay.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Dr Usher. It sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring and we are glad you appreciated the facilities on offer at the house. Regarding the TV’s they are all Smart TV’s and you need your own account to access them and use them, (ie Netflix, Amazon). We hope you stay with us again.

"House was as expected, biggest let down of the week was no fault against the owner but the generator running full time on the street outside the close, was a small nightmare, you could hear it, even though closed windows (which it was way too hot for) and you could feel it vibrating as well, whilst laid in bed at night, you lost the quietness of the remote village we were after."
Previous bookings had gone off with the Amazon Alexa device, kitchen soap and had put away dirty oven trays which was disappointing, but the house was well stocked with everything else and clean.
We also had the madness of a film crew taking over the village for most of the week 7am-6pm, with road closures, coaches of extras, drums, morris dancers, and fire etc, it was quite entertaining.
Hi Sarah, thanks for leaving some feedback for us, unfortunately during your stay the majority of the Craster area had continuous power cuts that we had to deal with for some time. I’m glad you found the house well stocked and clean and we hope to welcome you again soon. Best Wishes Abi and Phil.

"People with dogs should be told there is only one exit in the house and that is through the patio doors of the double bedroom."
So a mat would be good when it is wet outside. You can go out the front door and go through the side gate.
Also had to report that the centre of the microwave was missing, so this stopped the plate from revolving. This was reported at the time.
Hi David, thanks for your feedback, we will get the microwave looked at. We always welcome dogs at our house but would always expect them to go into the garden via the side gate rather than the through the master bedroom. Best Wishes Phil & Abi.

The house it’s self is perfect for family and friends. Everything you could want or need is already there waiting for you including a few extras from the owners that was really thoughtful. Everything is tastefully furnished and all the rooms feel light and airy. Bbq was an added bounce as was the washing machine. Being dog friendly made it a real winner. The location to the village is seconds and a bus stop right opposite the turning which can take you along the coast to local villages and then a lovely walk home along the coast. If I get my way we will be returning in the not to distant future. Thank you Summer Rose for a memorable first visit to Northumberland.

About the location
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. 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.
