It’s an easy choice for small families or two couples travelling with one small dog. The sea is practically on the doorstep, and the enclosed patio is ideal for breakfast outdoors after a morning harbour walk. Inside, there’s a wood-burning stove for cooler months and a slipper bath upstairs for slow evenings in.

Marie’s Cottage looks over Craster Harbour on the Northumberland coast — a spot famous for its oak-cured kippers and easy access to scenic coastal walks. From the Cottage, guests can follow the coastal path north to Dunstanburgh Castle, the county’s largest ruined fortress, or head south to Howick Hall Gardens, once home to Earl Grey.

For dog walkers, the beaches between Craster, Embleton, and Low Newton offer long, open stretches of sand where dogs are welcome year-round. The nearby Jolly Fisherman Inn serves local seafood with sea views, while Alnwick — just seven miles inland — provides shops, cafes, and the grand Alnwick Castle for a day out.
