We found this little gem of a hotel when we were staying in Craster from 30/10/21, and what a fabulous place the Cottage Inn is. Our first meal was Steak and Ale Pie, it was absolutely amazing, full to the brim with huge chunks of beef and the gravy was to die for. We also had the Sunday lunch and that was so delicious and plenty of everything and piping hot, and that includes the huge plate of Scampi and homemade chips we also had on another night, the Fish and chips my partner had the fish was huge and cooked to perfection. The service from bar staff to the waiting staff was 110% as was the

A hidden gem! Had visited Craster which had queues at all the eating places and decided not to wait. We had passed the Cottage Inn several times and this time we stopped and the four of us( and one dog) had lunch there. Fantastic! Food was excellent, good service and reasonably priced. We will not pass again!

I took my wife, son and sister in law here for a meal on Friday the 8th of October. The food was fantastic, I had potato skins and the others had kipper pate to start, my son and I had Ribeye steaks and the ladies had the fish mornay. Everything was absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and courteous. We will be back. Keep up the great work
