Can't recommend highly enough!
These beautiful shepherds huts are a perfect base for exploring the local area and returning back to at the end of the day to relax.
Deforestation our stay communication was excellent and the guidebook provided was brilliant for helping us to plan our stay. Everything we needed to know was all covered in there.
When we arrived we were so impressed at The Sanderling! It was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay and more. The complimentary bottle of fizz and bar of chocolate were a lovely touch too.
The bathroom was so much bigger than expected and the shower was beautifully hot and powerful.
The hot tub was easy to use and the perfect way to spend the evening.
We absolutely loved our stay here, and cant wait to return.

Cosy hideaway in a lovely area
We stayed for 3 nights.Lovely secluded space,only downside being traffic noise from road on the other side of the hedge
Thoughtful touches in a small but cosy cabin -felt like love and care had been put into its construction.Lovely rooftop window allowing light in,and to lie under at night,and comfy bed.Clare enjoyed the tub -cold and warm with wine and book in hand
Not much storage due to size and maybe a little challenge getting up to the bed with anyone with mobility issues but we liked it-part of its allure.Didn’t need the log burner as so warm so 1.5 bags left for future residents
Didn’t meet the owners but a friendly welcome message ahead of our arrival and felt they were there if needed
Liked Beadnell -less touristy than Seahouses and bus service to return from Bamburgh and Seahouses on our walk to
A mini fridge in hut would’ve been useful to keep milk in for our morning cuppa without having to venture out but a flask worked well The online guide was great and a good go to
Thankyou for making such a lovely space and hut available for us to enjoy -David and Clare

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.

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.
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.
