The garden of the Craster Arms in Beadnell

15 min walk into the village

The Craster Arms

Our local. Crab sandwiches, a good garden, and they don’t mind sandy boots.

The Craster Arms
We came for two nights and stayed six. The kids found the den wood on day one and we barely saw them.
Rachel & Tom — Leeds, stayed August
Cleanest shower block we’ve met in thirty years of touring. And you wake up to the sea. That’s it, that’s the review.
The Whitfields — Stirling, stayed June
The pod was warmer than our house. Swam in the pond every morning, bakery croissant after. Booked again for May.
Priya — Newcastle, stayed September

This season

The wild swimming pond is open — and the bakery's doing sausage rolls again.
