Mrs Muir
Sandstrath is in a great location only a short walk from the centre of Bamburgh, and a short drive to Seahouses. Plenty of places to visit in the local area. The house is cosy downstairs, with an excellent kitchen and plenty of room for outdoor gear. Upstairs is very spacious with 3 lovely bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There's a small garden with views across fields, all very quiet and perfect for a nice break in a lovely location.

An exceptional property in a great position for our dog walking, beach-loving family. Ideally placed for access to Bamburgh’s beautiful beach over the sand dunes and only a short stroll into the village. The property had was spotlessly clean and had everything needed for a holiday. Great thought and attention had been given to the facilities and the ‘goodie bags’ were especially welcome. We will be back!

We stayed at Sandstrath in August 2020, we enjoyed it so much that we booked it again for May bank holiday weekend 2021. The property is light and airy with everything you need. If you’re a little unsteady on your feet then stairs might be a problem. A nice welcoming touch is the bag of local produce, coffee, tea, biscuits and bread along with some milk. Views out the back over the small but very adequate garden and it’s fields with sheep. A great time waster watching what they’re up to. If you have a dog and like walking it’s just a case of out the door, cross the road and you’re into the sand dunes and onto the beach. Go left and it’s a lovely walk up to Budle bay past the castle along the beach. Head right and go to Seahouses. The locals are lovely, welcoming and like a chat. The locals pubs in Bamburgh are only a short walk too. I’d book it again, in fact just been having a look at what dates are available.
