Holiday with friends
Loved the shepherds hut. It’s a small space for such a long stay though so bear that in mind. The only thing missing was a comfy chair to lounge on and somewhere to hang clothes. The bed was super comfy.
The wood fired hot tub is great
Would recommended to anyone for a long weekend / couple of nights stay. Beadnell is a great place with wonderful beach and pubs

Amazing stay!
Highly recommend The Sandpiper. As a family of 4, we thoroughly enjoyed our restful stay. Beautiful shepherd’s hut, with lots of thoughtful details and very relaxing! Powerful shower, cosy accommodation and enclosed garden so children / dogs can explore safely. Beautiful views overlooking the fields and sea. Good location to explore the Northumberland coast. We’ll be back!

A perfect place
Had a lovely stay in Sanderling with family staying in Sandpiper too. The huts are comfortable and well equipped. The children loved the hot tub and playing in enclosed garden with dogs.
Very different and very special ❤️
Beadnell a short walk away had lovely pub The Craster Arms which is dog friendly and coffee shops plus a stunning beach.
Would love to return .

Nice stay in Northumberland
It was really a great experience, first of all the bath tub after a long walk on the beach. When we arrived crockery and cutlery was not really clean so I had to everything before use. After this, everything was OK. It is amazing what you can squeeze in such a tiny kitchen. But it works, the bed is glorious, and the shower wonderful. We will come back!

Our stay
This place is gorgeous and we loved our time here. Couple of small things nothing major but just to let you know for future bookings.
Main door was very stubborn to open and close. Coffee jar was almost empty and coffee was hard so not been change for a while and we didnt have coal for the fire pit let out or in the shed that was also hard to open and close. Thought it was slightly further from the road fir noise
This place is fabulous and I would definitely recommend and come back to stay great service beautiful comfy beds and the stargazing was spectacular. Communication was brilliant with an early check in. Loved all the little touches. Amazing place close to everything ✨️ magical

Another fab stay
It's our 3rd time at the Sandpiper, we love the location and use it as a base to explore the north east coastline. We love using the wood fired hot-tub and our dog loves lying on the grass area outside the hut. highly recommended place to stay, we will be back.

A quirky lodge, perfect in every way
We stayed here as a family of three and a dog for 2 nights. It was perfectly sized for us. The accommodation was clean and well stocked. The hot tub was perfect and instructions were clear. I have never slept in a bed so comfortable! Well placed for beadnell and exploring the Northumberland countryside. We will be hurrying back!

Absolutely fantastic!
I almost don't want to say how good this place is because I want to keep it to myself! The Sandpiper is a wonderful shepherd's cabin that sleeps 4 people. It far exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect, ample room at the site and very private, despite being on the 'main road' going into Beadnell - it really wasn't an issue. The wood fired hot tub was lush and we enjoyed it looking out to the sea. The cabin has a powerful shower. A larder fridge in the shed and ample kitchenware meant we could cook and feed ourselves way beyond what I expected of 'glamping'. We watched the stars from the skylight through the overhanging trees. We cooked pizza in the bbq. Samantha it was wonderful and I will sing it's praises for a long time! I really hope to visit again.
Lovely property and setup both inside and out.Clean and comfortable.

Perfect place to switch off
Perfect place to get away and switch off. The hut provides everything you need for a relaxing stay. Lovely comfy beds and cosy fire. Would love to come again in the summer and make the most of the fire pit and BBQ. Some dirty cutlery in the drawer and the bedspread was torn, otherwise couldn’t fault it. Loved our stay ❤️Prosecco and chocolate were a thoughtful touch.

Sandpiper
A new experience for us and enjoyable. We loved the hot tub; very easy to heat and operate.
The facilities were clean, good having a full bathroom and kitchen equipment and utensils plentiful.
The steps into the hut and the height of the bed could be a challenge to those less mobile.

Perfect relaxing break in Northumberland
Stayed with my wife and 10 year old daughter, Sandpiper was perfect for a 3 night stay. Really cosy but plenty of room in the shepherds hut. Stargazing through the glass ceiling with our daughter at night after pizzas on the log fired oven and a hot tub a total highlight. Great memories.
Seemed to have everything we needed, big comfy bed, cosy log burner inside when the weather got colder on the last night.
Beautiful views our over the fields to the coast and Beadnell Bay. Short walk into the village to a couple of good pubs and close to the beach so location is great too. Only thing is the road that runs in front of the huts, it's quite busy during the day but traffic calms down in the evening so does get more peaceful.

Great Place to Stay
This accommodation provides a great balance between getting away from surplus technologies but having sufficient appliances to make it perfect for a refreshing getaway break. Excellent location with plenty to do in the local area and very helpful hosts. We (2 x adults and a 7 year old) thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely hut. Clean and done out very nice it’s not basic at all like other shepherd huts . Everything you need is provided and thought of . Hot tub was great and enclosed garden for the dog . 10 mins walk to beadnell and another 5 mins to beach . Great value for money . Comfy bed . On a busy main road however there is a path all the way into beadnell so was no problem. Glass star gazing roof was wonderful. Had a great stay and will definitely be going back !

A wonderful stay!!
Such a lovely quirky property to stay in! Location was great, we could see the sea and walk to Beadnell easily.
We walked from the hut to Bamburgh and back which, despite the strong winds that day, was lovely.
Facilities were great, the shower is amazing and the welcome drink and chocolate were much appreciated! Looking at the stars through the glass roof was magical.
We will definitely return!

The Sandpiper is a is an amazing stay for a weekend away.
During mine and my boyfriends stay we had an excellent time. The location is beautiful with amazing views and so much to do in the surrounding areas. The hot tub is so relaxing so if planning your visit I would recommend using it. We are definitely thinking of staying again and recommended it to many family and friends.
