The room was quite clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay together with my wife. The hotel was very close to town center and Alnwick Castle. All the things surrounding have great atmosphere like old and well preserved buildings, cosy bars and green lands. In the morning we drank our coffees at the space with tables and chairs just in front of the hotel. The hotel manager was also so kind and hospitable.

Breakfast was poor, no juice couple of pieces of toast on request. The place is noisy, and the carpet was filty.

Words really fail me to explain how special this property was. The attention to every single detail was exquisite. I’m a professional organizer. My business is details. I’ve never seen anything like this. Everything - even the lights on the floor that automatically come on when you walk into the bathroom - was planned perfectly when this former convent was remodeled to make a sacred space for all its guests. There was even framed sheet music in the halls to, I assume, pay homage to the beautiful music that must’ve once graced the hallways.
The staff was so warm and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was like something out of a Veranda magazine spread. The breakfast was delicious.
At every turn in the hotel and the room itself, we were met with a delightful and unexpected experience.
Who puts this much thought into a public space? The Cookie Jar does. You made our once-in-a-lifetime trip unforgettable.
We would like to introduce you to The Tempus at Charlton Hall Estate, a decadent place where colors collide, and imaginations are captured.

Fab stay only negative was that I booked this as a surprise and on arrival told if we had not booked a table we could not get food as fully booked which I understand but could have offered to order food still and take to room if needed

Peaceful, comfortable, clean and private. We loved it here. Sitting on the decking watching the sea and the lambs was fabulous. Only a 10 minute walk to the nearest pub/restaurant, a short walk to the coastal path and friendly hosts nearby. We'll be back.

We have been to Craster for day trips but not stayed in the village previously. It is a small fishing port now mostly a tourist destination for coastal walks especially to Dunstanburgh castle (ruins - dramatic views). Most accommodation is within 2 minutes of the sea and many have a sea view which is of a rocky shoreline but super views and very atmospheric.
The England coast path passes through the village so there are super walks South to Howick (visit the Hall if you can - home to Earl Grey of tea fame) or North to Dunstanburgh Castle and Newton by the sea (Ship Inn a legend in beer and food locally).
There is one pub in the village, the Jolly Fisherman, which is excellent for beer and food; and is opposite the famous Robson's smoke house (for kippers etc). There are also a couple of cafes in the village and occasional buses daily if you want to plan excursions without the car.
As a base for visiting all of the Northumberland coast and towns such as Alnwick, this is a lovely spot, and is much quieter than nearby towns such as Seahouses which can be a bit noisy. We have been in the summer when it has been a lot busier but this time we went off season and it was much quieter.
If you want lovely coastal views, good walks with food and drink nearby, and a bit of peace and quiet, this might be for you, especially if you visit off peak season.

Quiet and refreshing.
Very close to the sea.
Smell of kippers.
Not over developed or commercialised though many of the cottages are for rent.
Amazing sunsets.
Take boots and coats but surprisingly dry.
