The Sanderling
Fabulous stay in shepherds hut. Stunning views and beautiful cosy place to unwind and enjoy nature . Stargazing on a night before bed through the glass roof and chilling in the lovely garden in hot tub and sitting round fire on a night in one of our favourite parts of the country it’s just amazing. We just love this place !

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.

A perfect Shepherds hut with everything you need. Super shower. The family had both hits for the weekend and had a perfect stay. Sitting out around fire pit every evening.
The hot tub was a great bonus. The enclosed garden great for dogs.
We and the dogs appreciated the treats we received as a welcome gift. Would love to return.
The Huts are well positioned to make most of stunning views. Only a short walk to Beadnell which was lovely for brunch ( Salt Water Cafe) and Sunday Lunch( The Craster Arms). The beach was stunning.
When you arrive at any destination you never know what you are going to expect but when you arrive at the sanderling shepherd's hut you just know you're going to enjoy the ambience relaxation but most of all the tranquility of the way the hut is placed around the landscape.The most enjoyable time myself and my wife have had in a long time ..uch love to you all.The Heptinstalls

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

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.

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.
