Guests say

Sandstrath is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its prime location near Bamburgh beach and village. Guests appreciate the property's light, airy spaces, well-equipped kitchen, and modern bathrooms. The garden offers lovely views and the local area is ideal for dog walking and beach lovers. Some guests noted minor issues with maintenance and cleanliness, but overall experiences were positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found Sandstrath to be clean and well-presented. However, a few noted areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as lounge cleanliness and debris in bedroom storage. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.

The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, sand dunes, and Bamburgh village. It is considered ideal for beach-goers and walkers, contributing to a relaxing and convenient holiday experience.

Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and spacious living areas. Some concerns were raised about the adequacy of lounge seating and the need for a mattress replacement, but overall comfort levels are high.

The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests are generally satisfied with the facilities. However, there are comments about the need for garden furniture and minor maintenance issues, such as bed slats and a boiler breakdown, which were efficiently addressed.

Guests mention a welcoming touch with a bag of local produce provided, which is well-received. It is important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are a courtesy and not guaranteed with every stay.
