We arrived on Friday evening to this beautiful beach house retreat, to celebrate two special occasions and the balcony was a treat. From welcome goody bags for us and our pooch, we’ve really been spoiled, so thank you very much! We’ve had sun, rain, and wind, and the views from Sandy Shores are never the same… So please be assured, we’d love to come back again. Best wishes.

Despite the lesser spotted sun, we have all enjoyed a family holiday in this lovely villa with such stunning views. Our 18-month old and 4 year old have loved watching the birds, boats, horses and train-spotting as well as treasure hunting and paddling at the beach. We’ve had a great time visiting Warkworth Castle, Alnwick Gardens (brilliant fun in the water features!), Lilidorei, Northumberland Zoo and White House Farm in Morpeth, with a fabulous potting barn, bird show, handling sessions, soft play and so much more. Our favourite meal was at The Whittling House in Alnmouth. Thank you for such a well presented and equipped villa with comfortable beds and immaculately clean. We really hope to return.

We’re back! We all last stayed here six months ago and we just couldn’t get enough of it. We’ve come to the end of a relaxing week in this beautiful house in wonderful scenery. We love Alnmouth! Until the next time.
