Fantastic Stay

Middlerigg had everything we needed. High quality accommodation and extremely clean. It was in a wonderful location with superb views along to the castle. A highlight was getting up early to watch the sunrise over the harbour. Booking and communication was great and Clare was so helpful and friendly. We enjoyed smoked fish from Craster, walks along the coast and trips to explore the spectacular coast, castles and Holy Island.

We had an amazing stay at Middlerigg. The location on the harbour is outstanding and everything in the house exudes quality. The house is incredibly well appointed and very comfortable. The views across the coastline to Dunstanburgh Castle are superb.

Excellent……again

Another wonderful stay at a fantastic property from Catch the Breeze (Middlerigg). Facilities and location are perfect. We are already planning our next visit to the area. The team were helpful from the booking of the cottage right up until the day we left.

Wonderful place to stay

Cottage is stunning - even better than the website photos. Well designed and decorated and fitted out to high specification. Would definitely come back. We’ve stayed in some lovely places home and abroad but this is probably the best we’ve had - especially with that view and outside terrace.

Probably the most uncomfortable settee we have ever say in.

We love Middlerig and this is our second visit. Catch the Breeze provide wonderful support when problems arise and we have no complaints there. The only issue with the property is the seating in the lounge and also in the mezzanine. Both of these rooms have seating which is desperately uncomfortable. Change that and the place would be perfect.

Loveliest house in Craster

Just back from our third stay at Middlerigg - in our opinion the loveliest house in Craster. The decor is comfortable and tasteful and the bathrooms are modern and spotlessly clean. We didn’t really use the kitchen as dining out in the area is fabulous, however it is spacious and extremely well equipped. The mezzanine room has the best view in the house although the views from all windows are stunning. Would recommend this house to anyone looking for a luxurious home from home in a stunning location

Fantastic location and beautiful holiday home.

Beautiful holiday home with lots of attention to detail with interior design and furnishings. Location is perfect on good days to explore the amazing Northumbrian coast line or just sit in the den and watch the sea on bad weather days. Some aspects of cleanliness disappointing.

Middlerigg Excellent

In all aspects Middlerigg was brilliant .Location was superb. Condition, cleanliness and comfort around the property was excellent. The Welcome pack was lovely and much appreciated and little touches like hand wash at all the sinks, adequate dishwasher tablets, binbags etc were again appreciated. Separate handtowels in all bathrooms and generous amounts of toilet roll were also a great addition.. The staff were very helpful and we got a call to inform us that the cottage was ready a few hours before check in which was really helpful.

Family holiday in Craster

Middlerigg was a superb property to stay in. It is so well equipped, relaxing and the beds so comfortable. The location ,overlooking Craster harbour, is amazing. We had lovely weather so we were able to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the outside space. Beautiful property. Comfortable and social lounge for evenings. Gorgeous showers. Everything perfect for us.

High spec property delivers on space & views & facilities

Middlerigg lived up to our expectations. Very high spec property with lots of space in different areas - dining area, lounge & TV room on mezzanine, latter was a special delight. Views from the windows & the outside terrace were superb, great for people, boat & bird watching over Craster harbour & looking towards Dunstanburgh Castle. Facilites very good, range of kitchen equipment in the kitchen good. Cuckoo clock an amusing surprise! Downstairs toilet also useful. A top notch property, highly recommended.

Beautiful Craster

Our stay at Middlerigg exceeded expectation. What a beautiful property with exceptional views across to Dunstanburgh Castle. Such a great place to base yourself for exploring the area. The property was cosy, comfortable and finished to an high standard. We couldn’t be happier watching daily life in the harbour and the waves crashing against the rocks. We loved it so much we have booked to come back next year.

A fantastic property. Very well equipped. Nice modern property - very classy conversion. Kitchen had everything you needed including sharp knives, something we rarely find in holiday properties!! And enough toilet rolls!

Another magical stay at Middlerigg

Well we keep coming back. Is it the view up the coast to Dunstanburgh Castle, the walk to the Ship Inn at Low Newton, dinner at the Jolly Fisherman, the oak smoke from Robson's, the beach at Beadnell Bay or the impeccable decor, layout, and aspect of the house itself? Well, it's probably all these things and more. So we'll be back again.
