Lying on Yorkshire's spectacular Heritage Coastline, Sandsend is the ideal place for a family holiday with its award winning, wide sweeping beaches, rock pools and dramatic cliffs. Indeed this part of the coastline is known locally as the Dinosaur Coast because of the many fossils found here. In the season, beachside stalls offer everything from light snacks and drinks to boats, buckets and spades! Children will enjoy damming the little beck where it crosses the beach to form a freshwater lagoon - great (and safe) for paddling and boating! For the more energetic the village sits on the lovely long distance Cleveland Way Trail, which offers great off-road cycling along the disused coastal railway as well as breathtaking clifftop walks. The National Trust now own the nearby headland, Sandsend Ness, where there is a delightful nature trail in the old quarry pits. A special place with something for everyone!

Excellent property in a great location. If I had to be really picky the WIFI signal strength was poor even after logging in, but that did not spoil the weekend at all.

The house is clearly finished to a high standard. It was just the 2 of us staying for the 4 nights, and although we didnât need all the space, we booked it based on the photos and the location, and we certainly wasn't disappointed. Sandsend has always been a favorite location for us, and this property put the icing on the cake. We look forward to returning again in the future.

Not really sure what is going on with the electrics in the bedroom, bedside bulb flickering and dimmer switches worked without actually touching the knob. Very disappointed to find no mattress protector on the master bed. Shore View is in an excellent location with the added benefit of parking for one vehicle.
