Situated in the picturesque fishing village of Craster, half-way along the Heritage Coast, this beautiful old stone fisherman's cottage stands peacefully, not far from the tiny harbour which dates back to 1906. Craster is the main location for ITV's Distant Shores, and this distinctive cottage, with porthole window, was used as a backdrop (Hildasay). A wonderful coastal walk leads to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Porthole provides an excellent holiday base for touring, bird watching, walking, fishing and golf, with the famous Craster kipper curing sheds and seafood restaurant just 70 yards away. Shop 100 yards.
