The building is of traditional construction, with stone walls and a pitched and tiled roof, incorporating an attractive feature lantern light. There is customer access on both sides of the unit, with timber framed double glazed windows to two frontages. With a cluster of attractive stone cottages centred on a small harbour, and within easy walking distance of Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors throughout the year. The village has a well established herring curing business; Craster Kippers are known worldwide. The Robson & Sons Fish Smokery with seafood restaurant and the Jolly Fisherman Public House are popular venues with tourists, day-trippers and walkers. The village lies on the Northumberland coast path and is a 15 minute drive from the A1 at Alnwick, 7 miles to the south-west. There is single road access into the village, which beyond the Quarry Car Park, is restricted to residents’ use only. Visitors are therefore directed to park in the Quarry Car Park, providing pay and display facilities for around 80 cars. The former Tourist Information Office sits at the entrance to this car park. This unit forms approximately one half of a single storey building, dating from the 1990’s. The other half provides public convenience facilities for the village. A paved area in front of the unit provides external seating for the takeaway café business operating from a temporary structure on the site.
