Lovely cottage in a great location.
Diana
Beautiful place in a beautiful location. I can't wait to book again. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
Sandra
The cottage was lovely and close to Bamburgh beach, Castle and village. Beautiful. Can fit two cars but awkward getting on and off with the two cars
Philomena
Clean, comfortable, extremely well equipped kitchen. Beautiful bed linen. Superb location. even the weather was kind!
Bridget
Fabulous house, well equipped and very comfortable. You could not ask for a better location. Will definitely stay there again
Hilary
Lovely house, very well equipped and perfectly situated.
Helen
Lovely location and well equipped cottage. Would recommend
Jill
Perfect location, very well equipped. We only had one problem on arrival but that was quickly sorted.
Janet
Had a lovely stay, perfect location and short walk into Bamburgh and beach. Ideal for families. Lovely and quiet at night. Great view of fields at the back and grass dunes from front. Road is narrow, uneven not tarmacked and people do park there which makes it difficult to pass, drove passed the entrance to road twice as it is snugly fit in between houses. House was spotless upstairs beds are comfy and two lovely bathrooms, hairdryers in each room and nightlight/torches provided. Welcome packs and towels provided. Fully equipped kitchen although we ate out. Fridge, freezer dishwasher and washing machine included. Living room/dining room a bit small only 3 of us so not too bad but dining table seems squished in. Dogs not allowed upstairs or on furniture. Otherwise beautiful house would recommend it and would stay again.
Janet
A lovely cottage in a fantastic location, a stones throw away from the sand dunes and 5 minutes walk into Bamburgh centre. The cottage was very clean, tastefully decorated and very well equipped, everything you could possibly need whilst being on holiday had been thought of. The garden overlooking the rolling countryside was a big bonus and we made good use of it with the weather being dry. The log burner was very cosy on a couple of the cooler nights. The lounge space was a little snug for 5 but perfectly manageable. Weâ??ve stayed in a few cottages in Bamburgh over the years and I would say this is one of the best.
Mark
The accommodation was excellent, extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. Location is ideal, close to the beach and the town. Had a wonderful week away.
Alexander
The upstairs is better and bathrooms were ok !
Caroline
The house warm very warm and welcoming with all the facilities you needed for a self catering holiday. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The beds were really comfortable and the views from the bedrooms were fantastic. The garden furniture could be improved and the sitting room furniture could be more comfortable . Overall we had a fabulous stay and would definitely use this property again.
Colin
We would whole-heartedly recommend this cottage for the summer months but not the colder times of the year, as the provided facilities downstairs are insufficient to cope with bad weather. The upstairs bedrooms were warm and cosy, the beds comfortable, the bathroom towels of good quality and the toiletries a welcome, especially if one has forgotten shower gel, etc. Thank you for providing these little extras and the well supplied tray in the kitchen, these were appreciated.
Caroline
We enjoyed the location which is just across the road to Bamburgh beach and a short walk to the Castle and lovely village. The upstairs of the property is spacious and modern with two large bathrooms however the lounge area does feel cramped and the furniture is not very comfortable for a family of four. This could be resolved by updating the lounge with a dining table in the kitchen area and larger, more comfortable seating for the lounge.
Louise
Lovely warm house in a great location. Easy walk across the dunes to the beautiful beach or quick stroll along the pavement into Bamburgh. Really quiet and peaceful.
Pauline
Sandstrath is a lovely holiday home with every modern convenience. Clean, comfortable and very well equipped. A great base for touring the Northumberland coast and further inland too. The view from the back of the house is lovely and the antics of the cows and sheep are very amusing! Our cocker spaniel was most put out when he spotted a cow peering over the garden wall trying to munch one of the shrubs!
Eileen
Lovely cottage.everything you need is there.garden view over fields lovely.would go again.easy walk into bamburgh and to beach.
Emma
Lovely house in a peaceful location within walking distance of the beach and Bamburgh village centre. Kitchen very well equipped, and bedrooms/bathrooms lovely. We had a great time!
Colin
This is a lovely house in a lovely location. Quiet and peaceful, tastefully furnished and decorated a gem!!
Susan
Lovely cottage a short walk from Bamburgh ( with great views of the castle on the way). Easy access to the beach. Cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Highly recommend.
Jill
Amazing holiday home, lovely location. Not one negative comment.
Jacqui
Cottage very clean well equipped and ideally situated
Hilary
Four of us, two couples, had a lovely week at sandstrath. We appreciated that the kitchen was extremely well equipped. We had super weather and enjoyed sitting out in the back garden but would have liked more comfortable seating out there. We enjoyed being right on the coastal path, being able to walk in both directions and get down to the beach.
Frank
We loved this property for so many reasons. Firstly itâ??s in an amazing location with easy access to the links walks, the beach, the village and as a base to explore the region. Secondly it has been very well prepared with great facilities and was spotless and well presented. There is everything you need and all very good qualities ty and tasteful. There is no doubt we will be back
