Host & Stay | Sandpipers

Summary:
Sandpipers Cottage is a charming two-bedroom holiday let set in the peaceful North Norfolk countryside. Just 10 minutes from Holt, 15 minutes from Sheringham, and a short drive to the stunning coast, it’s the ideal spot for family seaside trips. The cottage offers modern comforts, shared outdoor areas, and welcomes one well-behaved dog, making it a perfect dog friendly retreat.

The Space:
Sandpipers Cottage has a cosy living room with a Smart TV, DVD player, CD player, and a woodburner for chilly nights. A selection of board games, books, and DVDs provide entertainment for all ages.

The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances like a washer/dryer, fridge, oven, electric hob, and both pod and filter coffee machines. It’s stocked with cookware and utensils, and the dining table seats four.

Sandpipers Cottage has two spacious bedrooms: a master with a comfortable double bed and a second room with twin beds, ideal for children or friends. Both rooms offer plenty of natural light and storage.

The family bathroom includes both a shower and a bath, with freshly laundered towels provided.

The patio has seating for two, with extra chairs available. The shared grassy area leads to a deck with a bench and firepit. Outdoor furniture, a BBQ, garden games, and camping chairs are also provided for your enjoyment.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the full property. The keys to Sandpipers are accessed via a key safe box, and full details will be provided prior to your stay.

Private on-site parking is available for up to two vehicles.

Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome to stay at Sandpipers per reservation.

Please note that the fireplace is electric.

The Neighborhood:
Sandpipers is situated in the small, peaceful hamlet of Fenham-le-Moor in Belford looking out towards Holy Island. Both Lindisfarne Castle and Bamburgh Castle can be seen from the property, and being so close to the Fenham Flats nature reserve means that a large variety of wading birds can be heard from the garden.

Belford has a thriving and friendly market square at its centre, brimming with independent shops, restaurants and inns. It’s an ideal base for those wanting to partake in a spot of fishing and golfing.

Sandpipers is just a short 15-minute drive from the gorgeous coastal village of Bamburgh. Here you’ll find miles of stunning sandy shores and Bamburgh Castle, which is one of the finest castles in the country. Standing on the Northumberland coastline for over 1,400 years, there is a wealth of history to uncover.

Getting Around:
Sandpipers is located within 20 minutes’ drive time to beautiful areas within Northumberland such as Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell. There are excellent travel links as the cottage is only a short distance from the A1.

The closest train station is Chathill, which is roughly a 20-minute drive from Sandpipers so local towns in Northumberland can easily be reached via rail.

There are a number of bus stops throughout Belford. Hop on the 418 service to explore Bamburgh, Beadnell, Alnwick and Alnmouth amongst others. The X18 route travels between Newcastle and Berwick upon Tweed with stops in Morpeth, Amble and Seahorses.

Newcastle Airport is roughly one hour away by car.

Interaction with Guests:
We’re always available for our guests, so do not hesitate to get in touch.

Perfect rural location!
The property was in a great location for us and plenty of space inside to be comfy. There was a few little issues, the kettle needs replacing, didnt boil water before clicking off and the cleaning needs improving. 1st mug we used had dry soup in it, few cobwebs around and generally dirty around the floor and cupboards especially in the bathrooms. Shower heads full of limescale too. But as we were out most of the time it didnt affect us. Check in and out was simple if not q little early.

Great stay at Sandpipers. Lovely, peaceful cottage. Well equiped, clean and a great (private) garden. Unfortunately, the weather wasnt great so we couldnt make the most of it. Lots of great beaches and villages within a short drive away. Would look to stay again.

Lovely location with a beautiful garden. All items needed for a short stay available for use. Double bed so comfortable however twin beds a little cramped together. Only minor comment for improvement was that is was cold the 1st night as heaters not on. Would book again

Brilliant stay!
The property is really well laid out and the garden (with a distant view of Lindisfarne) was great. We brought our dog on his first trip away and he loved racing round the garden which was well fenced. The kitchen has everything you might need. Communication before and after our stay was fast and helpful.
