Fabulous
I had a gift voucher as a birthday present and spent a couple of nights in the Sanderling it was great . Small and compact with everything you could need. Only a short walk to Beadnell, which offered choices of places to eat and a gorgeous beach. Then back for a glass of fizz in the hot tub - just lovely.

Can't recommend it enough
Wonderful hut and location. Feels nice and private but close enough to some very nice pubs and walks. Great communication from the owners. Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic Remote Getaway
Lovely remote getaway with so many little touches (doggy biscuits got the pooch) that made it all the more amazing. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed break away.

Perfect location. Perfect accommodation
Found the app very useful for all information prior to our break away.
Easy to find and a great location close enough to walk into Beadnell along the footpath yet far enough out to enjoy peace and quiet.
Everything you could need and more in the shepherds hut and a great use of space.
We found the bed really comfortable and with the word burner kit we were more than toasty warm. So nice to have the glass ceiling to look at the stars and made the shepherds hut feel light and bright.
The shower is amazing and powerful and a very enormous size bathroom.
The enclosed garden was secure and private and the hot tub was amazing. Enjoyed sitting in it both evenings even the rain didn’t spoil it.
Loved the Prosecco and local chocolate what a nice touch as well as dog treats for our dog.
We had a brilliant weekend and would definitely recommend and look forward to rebooking.

Everything you need
Our 2 night stay at the Sanderling was wonderful. It was super cosy and we especially enjoyed the hot tub. It was a real activity keeping the fire alight and waiting for the water to heat. We also did plenty of walking in the local area. A beautiful place to end our 2 week tour of Scotland and North England.

What a relaxing stay. Had everything we could ask for. So comfortable and clean. Beautiful view. Would definitely recommend
In one of the hottest weeks if the year, we had a really good time. The accommodation was good and local facilities met our needs. Plenty to see and do. First time in this area and hope to be back soon.

3rd Time Staying
This was our 3rd stay and won't be our last. It was the 1st time in the smaller SH the Sanderling, obviously a little more compact with our 2 big dogs but has a lovely positioning. We can safely say we don't mind which one we stay in next time.

Fantastic stay!
We had the loveliest time in the Sanderling hut. The views were fantastic and we had some great views of the stars too. The complimentary bottle of Prosecco was a lovely little touch, which we enjoyed one night in the hot tub whilst watching the sunset. The location was perfect as plenty of places nearby to eat, drink and walk.Very dog friendly too. We would definitely stay again!
