“This is the third time we have stayed at Sandy Knowes and, once again, we have had a lovely time there.”
Cinty is a lovely host - very welcoming and really wants to ensure her guests have a relaxing time. The welcome pack of teabags, biscuits, eggs from.her own hens was a lovely touch.
The cottage is clean, comfortable and, for us at least, has a definite ''hone from home' feeling. Our friend came with us this time and she also said the same.
The beach is literally a 2 minute walk from the house and affords views across to Coquet Island and to.Druridge Bay. The views across the bay from the landing window are stunning - particularly in tne morning.
Druridge Bay Country Park is about 2 or 3 miles walk away along the Coast Path (which runs alongside the cottage) and is well worth a visit.
All in all, Sandy Knowes is a really good base for exploring the beautiful.stretch of coastline, including Berwick, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnmouth, Craster, Dunstanburgh, Warkworth and, of course, Amble. Castles galore on that stretch!!!
Please note that I have given facilities and maintenance a 3 rating simply because the outside parking area is AWAITING some attention. This is not due to neglect by Cinty. It is because, as I understand it, that area has only very recently come under Cinty's ownership.
It is perfectly acceptable as a parking space and I only mention it because of some comments in the visitor book. It certainly didnt bother us! It is probably now big enough to accommodate 2 medium size cars - but would be best to check that before arriving / booking as there is no on street parking in the village.
All in all, a lovely place to.stay and we will definitely be back for a 4th stay.
Thank you Cinty.
