  Wow, an absolutely amazing place and we felt very lucky to be staying there. The location is absolutely brilliant and going to sleep listening to the pounding of the waves was magical. The house is very comfortable - good sofas; beds etc but I think we might have found it a bit of a squeeze downstairs with 6 people - we were a party of 4 which felt just about right. We were supplied with plenty of logs (very welcome considering we had a very cold week) so the lounge/kitchen/dining area was really cosy. Upstairs was by contrast pretty cold, so be prepared in winter to bring dressing gowns, slippers and warm pyjamas! The kitchen is well-stocked, so cooking is easy or if you prefer eating out, the Jolly Fisherman at Craster is a 45 minute walk along the coastal path and serves amazing food (do book though as very popular) We would also recommend The Ship Inn further along the coast at Low Newton - especially the crab sandwiches - and The Old Boathouse at Amble. Plenty of walks from the front door as you're right on the coastal path and no shortage of places to visit a short drive away. In summary, a very special house in a stunning part of the world.

  The Bathing House is an exceptional holiday house and we feel privileged to have spent a week there. The situation is stunning. Hearing the roar of the sea as we lay in bed, or sitting on the window seat upstairs watching the crashing waves, whilst warm and cosy was wonderful. We also dipped in the bathing pool below the house, which is a great way to start the day. Plenty of walks and cycle rides from the house or a short drive away, there's an OS map in the house for route planning. Before we arrived I had an email from the housekeeper, asking whether there was anything we needed on our arrival, this was a really lovely touch, and it was great to know that there was a contact should we have any problems, which we didn't. We arrived in the dark, but the house was warm and welcoming, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Beds and sofas were really comfy, there was an unlimited supply of logs and kindling. Hope that we can visit again sometime.

  This property is magical. The cliffside location is breathtaking but, despite this splendid isolation, one doesn’t suffer any deprivation as the Housekeeping Department has thoughtfully provided every last little thing visitors might possibly need. Add to this the fast fibre broadband and the unexpected smart tv, and one really has the best of all worlds here. We stayed for the Christmas week, all cosy and snug, but we imagine the property would be equally fabulous during the Summer months as, again, the Housekeeping Department have provided for every need - we spotted deckchairs, a barbecue, charcoal and lots of trays to ferry food out to the lawn area. Our week flew past too quickly. We will be back! Our week flew by all too quickly and we were sad to leave

  We had a lovely stay.

  This is the second time we’ve stayed at Craster Reach. Compared to our last stay, the property wasn’t quite as clean as before, the floors didn’t appear to have been vaccinated very thoroughly (lots of dust and hair from previous visitors - I ran around with the hoover this on our first day and cleaned this all up) There was also a general smell of dog in the living room that we didn’t manage to clear during our stay despite the fabreeze air freshener being provided. The facilities are fantastic, beds are really comfortable and the views absolutely stunning and we loved the outdoor space at the front. The oven could probably do with a couple more shelves to make it more useful and the back garden would be nicer with a few planters, pots or plants.

  This house is very special. After many stays, I was so fascinated by it that I spent three years researching its story and then published a fully illustrated book on it! My recent visit was deeply fulfilling in that I now know about the experiences of the families who lived there over a 150 year period, and of the guests who have stayed there in the last 50 years. This house feels like home to many people. With its unique history and stunning location, it fully deserves its reputation as iconic.
