    Perfect location for both Whitley Bay & Tynemouth. Lovely host & an amazing breakfast. Room fitted a family of 5 perfectly, we weren’t on top of eachother & loved the views from our room!

    The only problem was the bathroom every time I went in I had to turn sideways because the door hit the shower and the mattress is the old style spring and goes flat when you lay down, I slept ok on it though but you can feel the springs.

    Mariea is lovely and can't do enough for you. Breakfast was great. Location right on the sea front. The room was clean.

    Mariea was very helpful. She upgraded me to a better room, which was unexpected, and also extended the room for longer on the last day which was a real bonus.

    Lovely breakfast, very friendly staff, we had a room with a balcony overlooking the sea, but I think it might be the only one, so worth while asking. Will happily go back.

    The room was a little bit impersonal, but that’s a minor point really. Everything was essentially fine.

    Excellent location on seafront. Friendly, very helpful, owner. Delicious breakfast with a good choice of options.

    We were disappointed that the room was not serviced during our 4 night stay, specifically there was no spare toilet roll and no replacement left in the room. Also there was no local information folder in the room.

    Location was good and so was the selection for breakfast.

    Nothing much, they are so nice it is hard to criticise.

    The location is great. Maria the owner is lovely and attentive as is the lady who works alongside her who's name I didn't catch. Ours was a very last minute booking and we got the attic room which was rather small but adequate for us. Breakfast was pretty good with a friendly ambience.
