What a great little gem

We really couldn’t have asked for more. Our stay was just the tonic that we needed. It was very comfortable and clean. The wood fired hot tub was an absolute treat as was the star gazing window above the bed. Everything we needed was there. A very comfortable stay. That bed… OMG! What a couple of great nights sleep. Location is excellent for everything you need and want to explore. Beautiful place to be. Thank you xx We will definitely be booking again.

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 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!

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.

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.

Relaxing break with amazing views

A lovely short break at the Sanderling. The hut was comfortable, clean and well equipped with lots of nice extra touches. The information provided before arrival on the app was really useful to know in advance. Great location for lots of local beaches and the views from the hut are amazing. The perfect place to relax!

Outstanding

I booked this as a mini honey moon for my nephew and his wife as a wedding gift. Both were extremely happy and loved everything about it. Warm comfortable and was equipped with everything to make their stay perfect. Location was ideal as both love walking finished off in the hot tub. Both can’t wait to book up and visit again. Very accommodating hosts who are on hand and very supportive regarding checking in and out, and what’s on offer in the local area.

Relaxation at its finest

This is my go to place to unwind and it never disappoints, always clean and tidy. Love the fact that tea and coffee and toiletries are provided in the hut and all the little things that make this so special. There are lots of little touches that make this unique. The wood fired hot tub is a dream, fab to sit in there and listen to the birds and take in the views. The wood burner is cosy and the bed is so comfortable. This is the perfect spot to explore the Northumberland coastline.

Fantastic break

A much needed break away from home and change of scenery. Ended up just being me and the dog but it was still perfect. Beadnell beach is my favourite beach, dog friendly and everyone is pleasant. Also love how close to Bamburgh it is for a day out. The hut has everything you need for a perfect and relaxed stay. And the complimentary prosecco, chocolate and dog biscuits went down a treat! I cant think of any improvements that could be made. I'll definitely be back.

Perfect weekend break in the sun

We stayed here for 2 nights in June and were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The shepherds hut is absolutely gorgeous, quite spacious and has everything that you could need. The bed is so comfy (I was tempted to ask where everything was from so I could buy for myself!!). The location is perfect and provides beautiful views over fields and you can see the sea. Just a 10/15 minute walk from the local pub. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub which was very clean and quite easy to light. The wall around the property made us feel at ease that our dog could roam around and not escape. Our weekend was 10/10 and we will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much for such a relaxing stay.

2 night stay

A great 2 day break. Booking procedure was easy and the new digital guidebook was really good - it gives all information needed for your stay all in one place and very user friendly . It also gives recommendations for local pubs/eateries which is always a benefit. Bus times and tide times are also left in the hut for information. We have never stayed in a shepherds hut before and it was a lot more spacious than I was expecting. The hut is well designed and I liked that there is a history of the materials used to build the hut. The garden and hot tub are private from the neighbouring hut. We had a great stay despite the weather with plenty to do and see in the area. The prosecco and chocolate were a really thoughtful touch. We would definitely stay again and would recommend staying here.

6/10 Okay

Not for the feint hearted

As much as we had looked forward to doing something which for us was a bit different, we weren't quite expecting some of the challenges of staying in the hut. The bed is basically on stilts with the requirement to pull a chest out from underneath to enable access to it. if you suffer with mobility challenges as I do, this can be an issue and does not seem particularly safe. Our dog was also with us and he was trying to jump up which made for a very restless night. Overall the hut is very cleverly designed to maximise the space but the bed was an issue for us meaning that we cut short our stay. The bedding was also stained from a leak in the skylight. We also didn't find the location particularly restful - the hut was by quite a busy road and there was regular traffic noise late into the evening and from very early in the morning.

30th wedding anniversary

We wanted something different and the Sanderling provided it in abundance ! A unique way to spend our special anniversary and located in stunning surrounds with fantastic views. The view lying in the raised bed looking out over fields of hay bales to the coast and Low Newton was superb. Everything you need and the luxury of the hot tub after a days walking is amazing. The village with its cracking pubs and great food was perfectly placed and a stroll back after to round off the evening was a fantastic way to end each day. The hosts cater for everything you need and were attentive without being intrusive in any way. We hope to be back.
