What a great place for a holiday! Sandy Knowes cottage is cosy, comfy, and clean; and felt much like home from home. Waking up every morning to watch the sun rise over a sparkling sea was like being in a dream, and being able to walk barefoot from the cottage across the little country lane (a coastal footpath) and onto the quiet sandy beach within a minute is my idea of heaven! There are all kinds of seabirds; one morning four herons were within thirty feet of us. The local people are very friendly, and just a couple of miles away is the town of Amble, with interesting craft shops and super fish eateries. There are four nature reserves nearby, and more amazing beaches and impressive castles only a bit further away. Cinty (the owner) let our two salukis stay as well, and they were exhausted at the end of each day. This was the best holiday we have had in the UK in years, and really is the only place we will return to!
