HomeDecor Cottages - The Sands Cottage

Thanks so much for a great week in this charming cottage. The location was ideal for exploring Northumberland- in a little village with shops pubs restaurants with so much to do nearby. It was comfortable and relaxing and everything we needed at hand. Good clean bathrooms with hot shower. The kitchen had all you needed to cook if you wanted to stay in- and thanks for the welcome basket of goodies. It was just right for our family.

Location was fabulous, host was extremely accommodating, property was clean, comfortable and contained everything we needed and more with a generous welcome basket of goodies.

Clean in all areas. Well equipped with very thoughtful items included.

Parking space at the house described as ‘suitable for a small car” not very helpful. Please include the actual dimensions. USB charging point(s) would be welcome.

A clean cottage Very near the town. Takes dogs

*Lighting was very poor. Only one bedside light in each bedroom!!! why!! Lighting downstairs in living room was very dark, needed more lamps in order to read and I have 20 20 vision. *Confusing instructions re the recycling- needs to be improved. *Parking - quite economical with the facts, it is, in fact, a very tight small narrow lane at the back of the cottage, luckily when we were there there was only one other car, so we were ok, but if all the spaces were occupied - would be extremely difficult especially as each cottage has erected metal bars or signs to mark their area - very territorial!!! *Dripping tap in the kitchen. *Kitchen clock was still on BST (we altered it!!!) while the clock in the living area showed the correct time!!! *The 3rd bedroom on the 2nd floor, is unbelievably small and claustrophobic, only suitable for very very tiny people, yet is portrayed in the information as having "amazing space" and in my opinion, it's completely misrepresented. *Front garden littered with cigarette ends- maybe from next door who regularly rests on the joint fence smoking, or maybe from previous guests.
