Sandy Knowes is a well-loved cottage praised for its superb location right next to the beach, offering stunning views and easy access to local attractions. Guests appreciate the clean, comfortable, and homely atmosphere, as well as the thoughtful touches from the owner. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests planning return visits.
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean and comfortable, contributing to a restful break. However, a few reviews mentioned areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as stained bedding and a feeling of grubbiness in some parts.
The location is consistently praised as excellent, with the beach just across the road and proximity to various towns and nature reserves. It is described as a quiet village perfect for relaxation and exploration.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be warm, cosy, and well-furnished, with comfortable beds and a homely feel. Some guests, however, mentioned that the sofas were a bit low and soft.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen amenities, board games, and a log burner. Some guests expressed a desire for an enclosed outdoor space and noted the need for some maintenance and updates.
Guests frequently mentioned the thoughtful gestures such as welcome gifts, including biscuits, wine, and even a cheese board. It is important to note that while these gifts are greatly appreciated, they are a courtesy and not guaranteed with every stay.
This delightful, semi-detached cottage sits in a splendid location overlooking Low Hauxley beach, 1.5 miles south of the busy fishing port of Amble. Set just yards from the beach, with wonderful views across the sea from the first floor, this is the ideal setting for couples and families seeking a relaxing seaside getaway. On the ground floor of this wonderful cottage is a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious sitting room with a dining area, exposed stone walls and a cosy woodburning stove for those chillier evenings by the sea. Make your way upstairs and you will find two welcoming bedrooms, along with a bathroom where you can enjoy a relaxing soak at the end of a long day touring the vast, beautiful county of Northumberland. The cottage is situated on the National Coast and Castles cycle route, so why not spend a day touring the superb castles of this historic area? On sunnier days, simply open the door and within a minute you will be on a beautiful Northumberland beach, so take the windbreak, dogs, children and a picnic and your day is sorted! To the north, the busy fishing village of Amble is easily accessible, with an array of pubs, restaurants and takeaways all serving good food and beverages. This beachside cottage is perfectly positioned for anyone wishing to visit the Heritage Coast and the surrounding area. Visit historic Warkworth Castle, just two miles away, take a leisurely drive to the coastal villages of Craster and Alnmouth, or explore popular Alnwick with its imposing castle. An excellent cottage for a seaside break.
