Sandhills
Tucked away on the edge of the dunes on one of the most captivating stretches of Northumberland coastline, Sandhills will stir up nostalgic memories of fresh salty air, long sandy walks and incredible sunsets.
The overall look is of a fresh, light-filled beach house in a charming chalet style. The living space has timeless appeal, finished in cool coastal colours to blend with the surrounding seascape.
The sitting room has a relaxed, informal feel with comfortable furnishings and a small dining space, leading to a compact kitchen and two crisply presented bedrooms, evocative of the colours of the coast.
Outside, the garden leads directly onto the dunes and over onto the stunning curve of wide golden sands with Bamburgh Castle as the breathtaking backdrop.

Location
Guarded by the iconic Bamburgh Castle which rises from its volcanic promontory with an almost mythic authority, this charming village combines the best of Northumbrian hospitality with a stretch of coastline with AONB status. Miles of stunning white sands stretch beneath the castle, from which you can take in views of the wildlife-rich Farne Islands and the fascinating Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Perfect for long dog walks, games, or quiet reflection, it's no wonder this is one of the most beloved beaches in the country.
You can enjoy fantastic fresh seafood at several restaurants in the village, perhaps during a relaxed brunch or with a takeaway from the Walled Garden Café, while the numerous tearooms and ice-cream shops are perfect for afternoon treats. There are also several great pubs for cosying up by the fire with a drink in the evening.
The whole area is bursting with things to do, dotted by a trail of castles and fortifications interspersed with pretty seaside villages all the way up and down the coast. For day trips, why not cross the causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to trace the legend of St Cuthbert, explore The Alnwick Garden, or take a boat trip from Seahouses to spot puffins and seals in the outstanding Farne Islands nature reserve and seabird sanctuary.
