Sandybrae Reviews

3rd time of visiting this accommodation which l think says it all. Very central in the village and for visiting surrounding areas. Great to have own parking too. Our daughter and grandchildren stayed in the upstairs apartment which was great for the family to be together but with our own space.
Geraldine
Perfect in every way, as was the weather. Felt very lucky.
We loved everything about Sandybrae, we didn't want to leave, already looking at booking for next year, great to be able to park at the property and just walk down the lane to the estuary and have our favourite walks to near.
Stephen
Sandybrae is a delightful place to stay. So clean, comfortable and homely. Perfectly placed for village centre,pubs, walks and the wonderful estuary and beach! This place is a true gem and we have already booked for next year. Lovely touch with the marmalade, tea bags, biscuits and milk. Thank you.
Andrew
Fantastic accommodation, spacious, clean, well equipped and great location in Alnmouth. Parking space a bonus!
Elizabeth
Very comfortable and clean . Quiet and good location. Comfy beds and good showers. The washing machine didn't work whilst we were there but the owners came and collected some washing as we had a baby with us. We'd return and many do as indicated by the visitor book!.
Very comfortable accommodation, with good showers, soft furnishings and bedding. I cant think of anything that we needed that wasnt there, its in a good location in the centre of the village with the bonus of parking. Maybe, for the future, the owners could consider an EV charger.
Elspeth
Super standard of accommodation fixtures fittings etc.
Excellent apartment very well furnished to a high standard and with a superb position for Alnmouth town and coastal walks. Absolutely nothing needs to change

We were a party of 4 people 2 couples, the apartment was prefect for our requirements, clean, comfortable, central location with car parking, the kitchen had everything that was required, there were 2 small concerns someone had upset the heating controls & the heating was coming on at different times, the other annoyance was that WiFi didnt reach our Bedroom
Great property, really well equipped and comfortable. Fantastic location!
Delightful property tastefully furnished, wonderful kitchen, helpful owners and located in the most perfect historic port. Parking very convienient, easily accessed adjacent to the front door. Lovely sheltered outdoor area with view.
Selina Emma
Beautiful apartment, had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.
Elizabeth
We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. High quality accommodation. Extremely comfortable beds and great showers! Excellent location, close to the glorious beaches and also the village amenities.
Would like larger dishes soup. New batteries in tv remotes. Overall great location, well kept and comfortable, easy off street parking. Our second stay here and hope to come again. Bob
Lovely apartment, great location and very comfortable and nicely furnished.
Beverley
Beautiful property, which has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Perfect.
Brenda
Really enjoyed our stay, loved the apartment and private garden. Would highly recommend, and intend staying next year.
Nicola
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandybrae. The apartment was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Alnmouth is a lovely village with lots of different places to eat and being able to walk to the beach was a bonus. We would definitely stay again and recommend.
Lovely place to stay. We will definitely return next year.
Nice property in a good location with the essential parking. Thoroughly recommend will return.
A superb spacious, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped property. Bonus of parking space outside and great location within the beautiful village of Alnmouth right by the river estuary and beach, great variety of cafes, bistros and pubs. Perfect for walking, bird watching, beach strolls or visiting lots of other places along the coast. We had a great time and loved this property.
A lovely welcoming flat with everything we would need. Comfortable & a great location for beach walks. A go back to !!
Second stay at Sandybrae and we loved the time we spent there once again.
Brighter bulb in Lounge required for reading. Kitchen excellent and well stocked utensils. Heating, hot water showers and bathrooms all great. Very clean. Very comfortable. Great location. We have stayed in Alnmouth at various holiday lets over 20 years and this one we will definitely return to. Very difficult to find any fault and the owner very contactable. Thank you. Bob
A very comfortable apartment and very good response over minor maintenance issues. The lighting in the sitting room was not adequate for reading and knitting. Would recommend this apartment.
Sandybrae is a beautiful flat. It was our second visit and felt like coming home, can't say more. Thank you
We really enjoyed our week in Sandybrae in a quiet location close to the high street and the beach and is a spacious and comfortable place to stay. Modern, smart kitchen and bathroom and shower rooms with quality fittings. Every appliance provided that you could need. Very comfortable beds. Wifi reception is not good but that's a difficulty of the location. Parking is a bonus as street parking quickly gets full. Only improvements I could suggest would be a couple of lamps in the lounge for better lighting for reading by and much brighter ceiling lights in the bedrooms as they were a bit dark.
Overall excellent in every respect. One niggle is that we could not get the bath water to run consistently hot despite attempts to do so.
Stewart
The apartment was in good order and well equipped. However, the kitchen is poorly designed, in so far as it requires a substantial amount of leg work to obtain or return plates, cups etc form dishwasher? More importantly. The bathroom sinks. I shave in the morning and wash my face with water in the sinks. Those taps amount to potential head injury and damage. Finally, my wife complains constantly with regard to a lack of a full length mirror and access to a mirror while attending to her hair. Being sparse on top means that this is not an issue for me!
This was our third stay at Sandybrae. it is a very clean and welcoming apartment with the added benefits of car parking and a garden. The owners are easy to contact if necessary and are very helpful. We love it so much we have booked again for next year
Extremely well laid out property with parking space in a superb location. Rebooked for next year for 3rd year running.
The apartment was perfect
Fabulous break in well equipped, clean and comfortable accommodation. Quiet but well located.
Michael
A really lovely property, well equipped and in a great location. Lovely village, with plenty of pubs, walks, and fresh air.
I loved my stay in Sandybrae! It is well located in the charming and friendly village of Alnmouth. The flat is very well equipped, extremely clean, comfortable and spacious. Anything one might need for cooking, tips for touring the Northumberland coast, etc. has been thoughtfully added to the flat. The private parking and garden is a bonus. Thanks to the sunshine I managed to use the garden as well. Thanks Sandybrae for a wonderful stay in Alnmouth!
We thoroughly enjoyed Sandybrae very, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. Ideal position in the village, short walk to all pubs, restaurants and amenities and the golf course! Private parking is a bonus I suspect invaluable in high season. Would absolutely recommend and we intend to return very soon. Thank you
Barbara
Well equipped, well decorated and very comfortable apartment. Ideal for two couples. A great location in the heart of the village too.
Thank you for another fantastic week in your lovely apartment. We've had a brilliant time celebrating the start of 2023 in our favourite place. Thanks so much for all the treats much appreciated! We look forward to visiting again soon.
Thank you for another perfect stay.
