I have been visiting Sandsend since I was a child. It is the most tranquil and spiritually uplifting place in my life. Its addictive nature ensured when I was able to, I acquired my own little place to allow my own children to share the amazing experiences and memories Sandsend has to offer.

The picture says it all. this is on your doorstep every morning.

We love a cream Tea from any of the two tea shops in the Village

The Village Pub serves excellent Food and Drinks

Relax in the apartment itself and make your own afternoon tea and take n the views. .

Mr Wilson - 3 Jan 2026 - Exactly what we needed for a break by the sea!
Mr & Mrs Davies 15 Dec 2025 - We had a great stay here. The apartment has sea views which was so lovely and everywhere was clean and tidy and amenities were great. We were able to check in early which was a bonus and there was a nice hamper of goodies on arrival which was a nice touch. It was a nice quiet space despite being so central to Sandsend. Very Festive in the flat.

Mrs Zahid - 16 Oct 2025 - We stayed here for two nights to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and it’s honestly been such a lovely little escape. The apartment is so cosy and peaceful — we instantly felt at home. Waking up to the sound of the sea and that beautiful beach view was just perfect. Everything was spotless and so thoughtfully prepared. You can tell how much care has gone into this place — every little detail made it feel special. Thank you for creating such a warm and welcoming space. We’ve made some really lovely memories here, and my mum couldn’t have asked for a better birthday stay. With love, Sana & family x
