Guests say
Sandy Dell is a well-received cottage, praised for its superb location near the beach and comfortable bedding. It's ideal for various age groups and dog-friendly, offering a cosy stay with a well-equipped kitchen. The property's thoughtful touches, such as a welcome gift and outdoor sink for sandy feet, add to its charm. Some guests noted cleanliness issues and maintenance concerns, but these were balanced by the property's many positives.
Cleanliness
Guests have had mixed experiences with cleanliness. While some found the property clean and comfortable, others noted it was not very clean, particularly behind and under furniture, and mentioned an unclean annex. The toilet carpet was also reported to have an unpleasant odour.
Location
The location is consistently praised as excellent, being adjacent to the beach and within easy reach of local amenities and attractions. It's perfect for a range of activities and provides a quiet, restful environment.
Comfort
The majority of guests found the beds and bedding to be incredibly comfortable, contributing to a cosy and relaxing stay. However, there were some concerns about the annexe shower's temperature fluctuations.
Facilities
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but there were issues with missing instructions for appliances and a small dishwasher for larger groups. The annexe shower was also noted to need improvement.
Thoughtfulness
The property's thoughtful touches, such as a welcome gift and an outdoor sink for cleaning, were appreciated by guests. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided consistently.
About this property
A family-friendly detached bungalow with a separate self-contained annexe, perfect for large families or groups of friends seeking a coastal retreat. This light and airy property offers ground floor accommodation for five guests in the main house, and a further four guests can stay in the separate annexe. Directly accessible from the garden, Beadnell Bay is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, with diving, paddle boarding, surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing available in the local area. You can enjoy a variety of picturesque coastal walks and cycle trails up through Seahouses (2.5 miles) and Bamburgh (6 miles), and down towards Newton-by-the-Sea (6 miles), Embleton (6 miles) and Craster (9.5 miles). A 15-mile drive inland takes you to the historic market town of Alnwick, where you’ll find a magnificent castle and gardens to explore. Further afield, you can enjoy breathtaking views of The Cheviots in Northumberland National Park (24 miles).
The entrance to the main bungalow leads to a hallway with doors to the bedrooms, lounge/diner, bathroom and cloakroom. The light and spacious double-aspect lounge/diner offers comfortable seating as well as a cosy window seat in the bay window. Settle in for a family movie night or curl up by the wood burner for a relaxing evening, or take a seat at the dining table for a sociable home-cooked feast or takeaway meal. French doors from the lounge/diner lead out to the garden. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with high-quality integrated appliances and offers views towards the sand dunes. In the shower room, you’ll find a large walk-in shower, and there is a separate WC. Bedroom 1 is a bright and spacious king-size room with garden views. Bedroom 2 is a spacious twin bedroom with zip-and-link beds, which can be arranged as a super-king-size bed on request. Bedroom 3 is a cosy single bedroom. When staying at this holiday home, you’ll also have access to the self-contained two-bedroom annexe, which can be accessed via the private garden at the side of the main bungalow. The annexe has an open-plan lounge/kitchenette with a glazed sliding door and double-aspect windows, which flood the room with light. The cosy seating area offers comfortable seating for 4, a feature fireplace and a TV. Bedroom 1 is a cosy king-size room, and Bedroom 2 is a bright and cheerful twin bedroom with garden and patio views. The shower room features a walk-in shower.
Outside, this holiday home benefits from an enclosed garden with direct gated access to the sand dunes. This private south-westerly facing garden benefits from all day sun, but it is sheltered from the sea breeze. Garden furniture is provided for al fresco dining and relaxing in the sunshine.
