Sandstrath is a well-received cottage in Northumberland, 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. While most reviews are positive, some guests noted issues with maintenance and cleanliness that could be improved.
Most guests found Sandstrath to be clean and well-presented. However, a few mentioned specific instances where cleanliness was not up to standard, such as finding crumbs and packets in drawers and the lounge not being as clean as expected. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.
The location is consistently praised for its proximity to the beach, Bamburgh village, and local attractions. Guests love the easy access to walks and the peaceful setting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing holiday.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the living areas cosy. Some guests suggested improvements such as more comfortable lounge furniture and outdoor seating, but overall, the property is considered comfortable.
The property is well-equipped with modern conveniences and a well-supplied kitchen. However, there are comments about maintenance issues like the bed slats and garden upkeep that suggest room for improvement in this area.
Guests are delighted with the welcome 'goodie bags' containing local produce, which add a thoughtful touch to their stay. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
A 10 minute walk into Bamburgh Village, Sandstrath is an ideal holiday cottage for those wishing to be close to the coast. Bamburgh Beach and Bamburgh Castle are both only a short walk from this lovely property sleeping up to 5 guests.
A family-friendly holiday home situated on the outskirts of Bamburgh. Ideal for small families and groups of friends, the property offers warm and welcoming accommodation for your seaside break. There are many wonderful walks to enjoy from the doorstep. The sandy beach, Bamburgh Castle and the village centre are all within a 1-mile radius. The village boasts a variety of pubs, restaurants and delicatessens. By day, you can explore the beautiful Northumberland coast and countryside, where there are countless opportunities for walking, cycling, golf and birdwatching. If you’re bringing a dog, simply cross the road from the holiday home and you’ll reach the sand dunes, which lead to the beach.
