Property code: OC-GD1872

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. Once you’re on the beach, turn left to enjoy a wonderful walk towards Budle Bay (2.6 miles), which takes you past the castle and along the beach. If you turn right, you can walk towards the busy fishing port of Seahouses (2.8 miles).

The entrance porch offers useful hanging space for coats and jackets. From here, enter the homely lounge/diner with comfortable seating, Smart TV and cosy multi-fuel stove. The dining table sits in the window - a lovely place to play board games or enjoy a family meal. From the lounge area, double doors lead through to the sunroom, which is furnished with a small sofa and provides access to the garden through the patio doors. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with all mod cons, including a Nespresso coffee machine and a dishwasher. A door from the kitchen leads out to the garden. In the garage, you’ll find laundry facilities and a WC. The garage is accessible from the garden. Upstairs, the super-king-size bedroom offers views to the south and west across towards The Cheviot Hills. This bedroom also benefits from an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating (three steps down from bedroom). The double bedroom offers views of the Farne Islands and the single bedroom boasts views across the sand dunes toward the sea. The double and single bedrooms are served by a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Outside, you’ll find a rear west-facing garden with a secluded lawned area with borders, enclosed by a stone wall and fence. The outdoor space includes a patio area with countryside views towards The Cheviot Hills. Wooden garden furniture and a BBQ are provided for informal al fresco dining. The front garden is a hard standing for parking. The external garage cannot accommodate a car, but it has a drying area and is available for storage of beach gear, golf clubs, bikes and kayaks. The washing machine, utility and drying area, and a WC are also in the garage, which is accessible from the rear garden.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sandstrath. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and very well equipped - we had everything we needed. The location to the beach and Bamburgh was perfect - we could walk for miles with the dog. We were so lucky with the weather. It was just as glorious in the garden with the cows, calves and sheep just over thRead moree wall behind, as it was on the beach. Walking through the dunes was a bird watchers paradise. We cannot recommend Sandstrath highly enough. Hide

The cottage was lovely, the bedrooms really comfortable. When we arrived, the cottage was nice and warm. We had a couple of issues with hot water and missing logs for the fire, but Kelly dealt with our query amazingly quickly even replacing a broken bath plug for us at short notice. I couldn't recommend the cottage or the service more highly.

This was a lovely cottage in a good location but unfortunately the heating in the downstairs was inadequate and we were cold a lot of the time especially in the kitchen. The place was freezing when we arrived as the boiler wasn't working. There wasn't wood for the wood burner as stated in the description so we couldn't get that going until the neRead morext day. Even with the wood burner I don't think the room in warm enough as the one radiator doesn't give off much heat. I think for what we paid fir the week in February 900. We should have had to pay a further 100 on logs to try and keep warm. I think things would be better in the summer when the heating isn't required. Hide

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 betweeRead moren 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. Hide

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 maRead morede 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. Weve stayed in a few cottages in Bamburgh over the years and I would say this is one of the best. Hide

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 loungRead moree with a dining table in the kitchen area and larger, more comfortable seating for the lounge. Hide
