Self catering near Craster, Northumberland Coast
One of the pleasures of helping our customers find holiday accommodation in Northumberland is the range of properties which we come across. Many have a history going back hundred's of years and can even be associated with famous people.
For instance we offer accommodation at the Bathing House which is superbly situated by the sea side near Craster. When we first saw this holiday cottage our first thoughts were what a tremendous position, right alongside the sea and with views as well.
However it wasn't until a little later that we heard the full story and learnt that it was built by the 2nd Earl Grey. Yes...the Lord who brought us Earl Grey tea!
So when you are next in Newcastle and walking up Grey Street towards Grey's monument then you can remember where he took his children to swim.
Oh...for those who are curious he also gave his name to Earl Grey tea and Grey College at Durham University.
