“Lovely little cottage in centre of Alnmouth.”

Local pubs were good and the beach 3 mins walk away was beautiful. My only issue was second bedroom was small and difficult to get in/out of bed due to the wooden roof beams. All in all a great stay.

“Very good cottage for a week away.”

Well located at the heart of the village and easy access to the beach through the village. Clean and all the amenities expected in a small cottage.

“Comfortable and quirky cottage.”

Well equipped. Good position in the village. Some sort of draining mat or integrated dish drainer would be very helpful . We used, and kept wringing out, a cloth we had taken with us to stop everything getting wet.

“We had a lovely, peaceful Christmas week in Sandpiper.”

We chose the location to allow us to meet up with family and it worked perfectly. It has a great central location right on the doorstep of The Sun Inn, where we enjoyed an early evening drink, and The Whittling House, the location for a family lunch. The property is warm and cosy and has everything needed to make it a relaxing and easy place to stay. Only absence was a freezer compartment in the fridge which led to iceless G&T's! It might be helpful to make this a bit clearer in property details. I would definitely recommend this property to others.

“Brilliant location and fantastic cottage, bedrooms were spotlessly clean and v comfortable.”

The kitchen was bijou and took some conjuring to wash up. A very small point - a draining board with a drip tray would be handy otherwise it after gets everywhere! Other than that would definitely recommend

“We had a lovely week staying in Sandpiper.”

Just a few glitches. Parking … more detailed info on where to park or a parking permit would have been useful. I’d been to Alnmouth before so had a fair idea where to park. If one was a stranger it would have been more difficult at the end of a long drive. The cottage was clean and fresh, all but the oven which would benefit from some attention. Beds were super comfy. Although the cleaner was late coming we were reimbursed for needing o go out for a meal and there was a nice complimentary bag of goodies. Contact with the agency was easy and accessible. .

“Lovely clean and comfortable accommodation.”

Nice comfortable bed. Lovely finishing touches and art work in every room. Within easy walking distance of shops, pubs and of course the beach. Parking was a little tricky but not a huge problem and being down a lane it was very quiet. Would definitely consider going back there, especially back to Alnmouth.

“Sandpiper was a lovely cottage and ideally situated in a quiet location, near to all the local amenities in Alnmouth.”

The cottage had a cosy feel and was very nicely presented. It suited us down to the ground and we hope to be able to stay there again.

“Beautiful, traditional stone terrace house in a lovely traditional Northumbrian Coastal village.”

It is much larger than expected, and it's over three floors. Was very cosy in the winter. There's great pubs and a deli in the village too, and its well connected by public transport, which is great for exploring the region.
