Our little Christmas tree is up & we’ve left special welcome gifts for the Steward family who arrived this afternoon, staying with us for the tenth plus time-we hope they have a lovely, wintery Crastercation at The Porthole

Airbnb Superhost status awarded again but do remember, it’s cheaper to book direct with us via our website.

All ready for new flooring to be fitted on Monday at the cottage, we’re always seeking to improve The Porthole when we can.

Extra special welcome gifts for our special returning guests-the Steward clan & the ginger tops visiting The Porthole for the umpteenth time-enjoy another Crastercation at our cottage guys!

We like it when guests leave a review in our visitors book, but we LOVE it when they leave a poetic one!

Three months, three separate guest reviews-we’ll take that!

“Amazing house, superbly presented. Great, well equipped kitchen, and loads of space throughout the house. Perfect location for walks along the coast, and exploring further afield. Thoroughly recommended.” Jeremy, July 2022

“The Porthole is a home from home. Everything you need other than the food you eat is there waiting for you. From the owners leaving treats like flowers, chocolates, wine and dog treats as well as assorted teas, hot chocolate, biscuits etc. Attention to detail is amazing, we really enjoyed our stay at the Porthole, on top of all this the house is spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The views from the front door overlooking the harbour are amazing. Thank you so much.” Andrew, June 2022

“A perfect place to explore a beautiful area. The cottage is very well equipped, kitchen outstandingly so. Very comfortable and friendly.
The area is great for walking, birds, wild flowers, beaches…. And excellent places to eat.” Ruth, May 2022

Back in 2019 we made a week available at The Porthole as an auction prize at The Chronicle Sunshine Fund annual ball.

Eventually, (after several Covid false starts!) last week, the successful bidder, Cyrenne & her family got to stay at our Craster cottage.

Many thanks to young guest Cath for her thank you card as well as Cyrenne for a substantial donation to a very worthwhile local cause.

Oh & the village cafe, Shoreline Cafe Craster also gets an honourable mention too!

Bridget & her ”girls” arrived today for their fifth stay at The Porthole.
As well as the usual welcome gifts we made up a basket of local produce sourced from Turnbull's Northumbrian Food as a thank you for their continued support.
They are ladies of a “certain age” who don’t “do” social media so we wished them all the best for another cracking Crastercation at our cottage.

Nothing says Christmas like a narwhal does.

Ruby & Jac stayed with us at The Porthole during this past week & took full advantage of our dressing up box!
Granny Susanne also helped them further decorate our Christmas tree too.
Thanks for the photos Susanne, looks like a great festive Crastercation!

We’re pretty pleased with our coastal themed Christmas tree decorations at The Porthole this year-very sea-sonal, eh?

So quiet in the village this evening as we prep the cottage for reopening on Monday.

Such a gorgeous morning in Craster at The Porthole today. We’ll be looking out for the humpback whales that have been spotted off the coast there over the last few days too.
