Crabtree & Crabtree

As Britain tentatively begins to anticipate the return of the staycation, we were thrilled with a busy weekend of Crabtree & Crabtree press coverage.

✨ Our three Shepherd’s Huts – Teasel, Cow Parsley and Foxglove – were featured in Telegraph Travel's feature on 10 of the best family activity breaks. “Reconnect again in Northumberland. Continue the family bonding born of lockdown with a break encouraging all generations to reconnect with the outdoors…”

✨ Coastal Artist’s Cottage featured in The Times and The Sunday Times pick of the 30 best British bolt holes. “Where to go and where to stay after lockdown – these UK retreats offer pure escapism. A wood-burning stove in the huge inglenook fireplace beckons after windswept walks along the coast, which – from here to Holy Island – offers a mix of cliff walks and castles, crab shacks and dune-backed beaches.”

✨ Sunday Times Travel featured Aikwood Tower in Chris Haslam’s pick of classic UK breaks for summer holidays. “You need a big house for a post-lockdown family gathering, and Aikwood Tower, near Selkirk in the Scottish Borders, is certainly that.”

✨ Scotland on Sunday printed a three-page spread on The Coach House, a “captivating cottage” situated in the sublime Pentland Hills Regional Park on the outskirts of Edinburgh. With a calming, neutral interior and sublime hill walking and outdoor adventures on the doorstep, we’re certain this will be a popular choice for post-lockdown retreats.

There was a flurry of very welcome bookings yesterday. This was the reason in the Times travel section. An over-vigilent sub editor changed a her to a his (Pete was my mother's nickname) but we can live with that.

Slow guide to Northumberland - Sawday's

Slow guide to Northumberland - Sawday's

Kielder At first glance, Kielder is a pure wilderness of sweeping water and scattered islands. It’s a peaceful place that’s pretty empty even by Northumberland’s tranquil standards, with trails leading through thick woods all around the shore. It was only as we explored further that we came to...

Just found this on twitter - it is very unusual to get snowed in at Craster but...

24/02/2018

The snowdrops are wonderful at the moment

The snowdrops are out in force in the famous gardens of Howick Hall.

A few miles from Brunton and a lovely way to spend a morning - and then have lunch in the Earl Grey Teahouse, which is in the beautiful, light-filled, old ballroom of the house.

Did you see ITV’s Britain’s Favourite Walks: Top 100 last night? Great to see 6 Northumberland walks featured in the top 100, but we think there should have been more! In 9th place was a circular route from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle. What is your favourite Northumberland walk?

Happy Christmas to all our lovely guests; past, present and future.

If it's clear, there may be an Aurora display tonight. If so, it's often good up by the castle, but take a torch.

Craster has been named as one of the ten prettiest fishing villages in Britain by BBC Countryfile Magazine. Editor Fergus Collins said: “We are drawn to beautiful places that also have a deep sense of purpose and history – and this selection of bustling seaside hubs and harbours are the jewels in our coastal crown.”

Just an update: we are still at red alert status. We limit the number of alerts published on social media and email to make sure we're not spamming you - but rest assured the Earth's magnetic field is rattled right now. As dusk approaches, we're hoping this will result in aurora! Good luck.
