Sandbanks (for dolphin watching). Spectacular views across the whole bay.

Sandbanks sits in a prime location, overlooking Newbiggin Bay which can be seen in its entirety from the house. With its open and light, modern, welcoming, sociable living space downstairs it is the perfect entertaining / family space. From there you can enjoy spectacular big sky views and the chance to spot surfers and / or dolphins right in front of the house. The house was completely renovated to a high standard just 3 years ago and therefore provides contemporary facilities. The kitchen sits at the back of the open plan layout and includes a dishwasher as well as full cooking appliances and a wine fridge in addition to a fridge/freezer. There is a washing machine housed in a laundry room off the back yard. Sleeping accommodation upstairs provides a master bedroom and the privacy of two other bedrooms, each with a single bed with very comfortable pillows and bedding, with high quality linen you have every chance of sleeping sound. Towels are also provided. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower with a floor level tray.

Holiday week
Very nice property, was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. John's communication was excellent. Just could of done with a small bin in each bedroom and there was only 1 dishwasher tablet but these are only minor things but holiday and house was very adequate for our stay at Newbiggin on the sea. We even spotted dolphins from the bedroom window. Parking was ok on the road outside. 5 stars given. Kevin and family

Flawless
So, where to start. The cleanest property we have ever rented, everything pristine from teaspoon to bedding. Brilliantly equipped, well laid out and comfortable too. We chose partly for the seaview, which we even better than we had hoped. Lovely walk along the prom to the village centre. We even saw the Bottle-nosed Dolphins on a couple of occasions. Can't wait to return.

Great base to explore Northumberland
We loved our stay in Newbiggin. The host was very responsive to our requests and provided good local knowledge of places to eat and visit. Property has been modernised recently and is in great condition.
