Sandpiper (alnmouth) Reviews

Lovely and very comfortable cottage, ideally located in the centre of Alnmouth and very near to the local pubs. Cottage was deceiving spacious we really enjoyed our holiday. We were able to park near by in the unrestricted area which was very helpful but this may change in the peak season Our only comment would be that although a good selection of dvd's were provided a smart box fire stick added to the TV would be useful as most people use streaming services for TV viewing now

Property not clean, welcome pack poor. ..... dishwasher tablets but no dishwasher, washing machine ones would have been helpful. Disappointed no small freezer section in fridge. Kitchen equipment utensils not clean and oven dirty. Would not book this property again

Ursula

We both felt that the owneragent, had never stayed at Sandpiper. The bed in the attic was extremely difficult to get into! It needs repositioning away from beams. Why is the couch in front of the radiator in the living area ? No heat reaches the room! The shower is weak. The kettle is on its last legs. I took a picture of dirt and webs of the space to the right of main bedroom's wardrobe. I can send pic if you doubt. These are our main concerns....more if you want !

Melvyn

A lovely cottage nice and clean and welcoming very comfortable beds close to the beach and shops, WILL CERTAINLY TRY AND STAY THERE AGAIN.

Carrie

First and foremost, this should be a 5star review. The cottage is beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. Unfortunately, the stay was let down by cleanliness and maintenance issues Broken glass on the living room floor A dangerous nail protruding from a floorboard Stained bed sheets clean but marked and should have been removed from use Toothpaste rings in the bathroom where previous guests had kept their toothbrushes Mould in the shower There was also a welcome pack that felt mismatched to the property, as it contained dishwasher tablets despite there being no dishwasher. Locationwise, the property is excellent, and aside from the above points, it would have been a great review.

An ideal location in the centre of Alnmouth. Walk out the door to pubs and shops and great walks. Close to bus stop so no need to get the car out. Lovely warm cottage, well equipped, kitchen fine for holidays cooking, quality bedding and comfy beds. Plenty of towels. Made for a great winter break. Would strongly recommend.

The cottage was beautifully decorated, with really nice artworks in every room. The bedding was luxurious and there were sufficient towels other than teatowels. I'd definitely recommend the cottage, but don't expect to be preparing haute cuisine, the kitchen is very well equipped, but tiny. Also, the car parking in Alnmouth can be difficult, so ensure your fitness levels can cope with walking to a different spot every day. It's never a long walk but it can be hilly. We will definitely return.

Really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is beautiful and in an incredible location. Only minor odd thing was there was a brilliant collection of dvds but no dvd player!

Our second stay in this pretty little cottage, tastefully decorated, lovely bedding and big fluffy towels, parking near by and having EV chargers was a plus, we did have a couple of issues, Wet crockery in the cupboard and dirty cutlery, stained mugs! we washed two of everything and only used them

Sylvia

Disappointed with the downstairs of the property, it was dark and unwelcoming. The chair by the window was threadbare and you could see the packing on the seat, it was covered with a throw. The sofa was so grubby we used a duvet to cover it so we could use it as personally I didnt want to spoil my clothes. Everywhere was dusty and it needed a good clean. The oven trays were greasy and we needed to rewash most things. We also had complaints from the neighbours that the drain at the back of the house was blocked and causing a mess on the road at the back of the house. The position of the property however was perfect for the village and beach and we would definitely recommend Alnmouth and would return to the village.

Judith

Comfy cottage, central for Alnmouth. Always managed to find a parking spot on the main street. Only small problem was a drain smell coming from the kitchen that we couldnt get rid of. Could do with a mirror for the top floor bedroom. Besides that enjoyed our holiday in loverly little cottage.

Loved our stay in sandpiper. Small and perfectly formed

Beverley

We were disappointed with this cottage, it wasnt as comfortable as others we stayed in via Sykes and the kitchen was in need of a good scrub! Wine glasses had red wine residue in the bottom, the pots were greasy, we found a black mould on the cheese grater and other implements in that draw. The washing up bowl had rotten food and black mould in the filter and so did the drainage tray and crockery stand. The fancy cleaning pack left for our use was a waste of money, the washing up liquid was useless, dishwasher tablets without a dishwasher we had to visit the local store to buy a decent washing up detergent so we could clean before using anything. I would suggest leaving decent cleaning materials would be more beneficial to keeping your property clean General appearance was clean however the skirting boards had a thick layer of dirtobviously not been cleaned for a good while The cottage was in a great location, Alnmouth people were very friendly and the shop, deli and pubs were very good We wouldnt return this cottage but have not been put off returning to the area

Andrew

Second time staying at Sandpiper. Cosy and comfortable and conveniently located in the centre of Alnmouth for beach, pubs and restaurants. A great base for exploring this wonderful area of Northumberland.

We had a great stay in this cosy and comfortable cottage. Location is good as it is within walking distance of local facilities.

Hilary

Lovely cottage, beds, seating all very comfy. However a bit short on basics, washing up liquid, liquid soap, foil etc we had to buy these items. No full length mirror in cottage either, which would be a welcome addition Although the cottage seemed very clean we kept finding long hairs on everything, but non of our party have long hair, so would question the cleaning service. Overall good base.

Abigail

I loved the upstairs to the cottage, the dining arrangement was not brilliant ... I loved the upstairs to the cottage, the dining arrangement was not brilliant the bench is too big for the room but overall lovely stay

Catherine

The house was beautifully furnished & decorated which was why I booked it but we found the small kitchen rather awkward even just for breakfast for 2 people. It was generally very clean but the fridge hadnt been cleaned when we arrived & the bedrooms carpets were a bit dusty in corners. The welcome pack was so basic and felt like an afterthought, something more in keeping with the property, perhaps some nice items from Scotts deli round the corner wouldve been more appropriate.

Maggie

Location was very central and the living room was spacious and comfortable as was the first floor double bedroom. The main concerns were that the living room window looked out on a high stone wall so the room was dark. The second floor attic bedroom had very low beams and so it was a constant worry about being knocked out if getting up at night without remembering! Also the kitchen was tiny and would be difficult to use to actually cook a meal. It was ok for snacks and takeaways to heat up. It should really be let as a two person cottage.

We had a really pleasant stay although finding onstreet parking was difficult at times, always a problem in Alnmouth. Although the kitchen is small, the rest of the cottage is spacious and the upstairs rooms are lovely and light. Minor criticisms wed have appreciated some small glass tumblers, and a freezer compartment in the fridge would be useful even if only big enough for ice cubes. Some of the pans were not very clean, and the living room was a bit grubby round the edges. The ceiling light in the living room was very dim so a tall lamp near the table would be great. Lots of things we liked the quirky decorative objects, the lovely bathroom and the comfy bed.

Rachael

Fabulous cottage,very clean and super comfy beds. The cottage is spacious and homely and is in a great location, close to restaurants, pubs, post office and beach. Alnmouth is a fantastic place to visit, there are frequent rail connections on the east coast mainline from Alnmouth station and the X18 bus from Alnmouth up to Bamburgh is the most scenic bus journey I've been on!

Sharon

First time booking with yourselves, would definitely recommend and will absolutely be booking in the future

Sandra

The cottage was clean and tidy but was surprised the kitchen was so small. I was disappointed with the welcome pack, obviously bought from some supplier to hospitality little sealed packs of coffee, tea, milk and biscuits as found in hotel bedrooms. My usual experience is cottages is lovely baskets of wine, crisps biscuits etc something that looks like a bit of thought has been put into it. The same with the box of cleaning products I didnt know it was possible to get such a tiny bottle of washing up liquid probably contained a tablespoon of liquid. When you pay a lot of money for a cottage it is nice to have some effort put into the nice little extras that are the norm in most cottages. No visitors book in the cottage, which is always useful for recommendations on where to eat etc. Alnmouth itself was lovely beautiful beach and nice dog friendly local eaterys. However I wouldnt consider returning to this cottage as I felt it was overpriced for what was actually provided.

Lovely little cottage in centre of Alnmouth. Local pubs were good and the beach 3 mins walk away was beautiful. My only issue was second bedroom was small and difficult to get inout of bed due to the wooden roof beams. All in all a great stay.

Very good cottage for a week away. Well located at the heart of the village and easy access to the beach through the village. Clean and all the amenities expected in a small cottage.

Comfortable and quirky cottage. Well equipped. Good position in the village. Some sort of draining mat or integrated dish drainer would be very helpful . We used, and kept wringing out, a cloth we had taken with us to stop everything getting wet.

We had a lovely, peaceful Christmas week in Sandpiper. We chose the location to allow us to meet up with family and it worked perfectly. It has a great central location right on the doorstep of The Sun Inn, where we enjoyed an early evening drink, and The Whittling House, the location for a family lunch. The property is warm and cosy and has everything needed to make it a relaxing and easy place to stay. Only absence was a freezer compartment in the fridge which led to iceless G&T's! It might be helpful to make this a bit clearer in property details. I would definitely recommend this property to others.

Angela

Brilliant location and fantastic cottage, bedrooms were spotlessly clean and v comfortable. The kitchen was bijou and took some conjuring to wash up. A very small point a draining board with a drip tray would be handy otherwise it after gets everywhere! Other than that would definitely recommend

Catherine

We had a lovely week staying in Sandpiper. Just a few glitches. Parking more detailed info on where to park or a parking permit would have been useful. Id been to Alnmouth before so had a fair idea where to park. If one was a stranger it would have been more difficult at the end of a long drive. The cottage was clean and fresh, all but the oven which would benefit from some attention. Beds were super comfy. Although the cleaner was late coming we were reimbursed for needing o go out for a meal and there was a nice complimentary bag of goodies. Contact with the agency was easy and accessible. .

Lovely clean and comfortable accommodation. Nice comfortable bed. Lovely finishing touches and art work in every room. Within easy walking distance of shops, pubs and of course the beach. Parking was a little tricky but not a huge problem and being down a lane it was very quiet. Would definitely consider going back there, especially back to Alnmouth.

Louise

Lovely cottage in perfect location

A lovely home from home. Comfortable, beautifully decorated and cosy. All facilities were really great. Brilliant location too!

Cosy cottage with some great features. Excellent location.

Thoughtfully furnished,decorated and comfortable. Very peaceful location and really close to shops and pubs. Alnmouth is beautiful.

The cottage was set down a lovely quiet lane in beautiful Alnmouth. It was small but quirky and clean with lots of storage and lots of things provided for you. The beds were also very comfy .

Sandpiper Cottage was exactly as the photographs and description given on the website. It was a delightful and quirky place to enjoy during our week in beautiful Northumberland. It is evident that the owner truly cares about giving a very good experience to the holiday makercustomer.

Well renovated and decorated cottage. Bright and light bedrooms.

Clean, comfortable, cosy cottage, ideally situated for beach and local amenities .

Beautiful, traditional stone terrace house in a lovely traditional Northumbrian Coastal village. It is much larger than expected, and it&39s over three floors. Was very cosy in the winter. There&39s great pubs and a deli in the village too, and its well connected by public transport, which is great for exploring the region.
