Great guesthouse in Whitley Bay
I had the most wonderful stay at this GuestHouse and it fully exceeded my expectations. Staff (Paul) went out of his way to make my stay comfortable. Great breakfast, lovely location by the sea with short distance to the Metro and cozy room.

Feels like home
I had a great time here and felt like I was at home not in a hotel. It had everything I needed and was close to the beach. They were so friendly and happy to help me find my way around the area. Breakfast was amazing too, so many options. All for a much better price than staying in central Newcastle which is easily reached by the metro a short walk down the road. I would definitely stay here again.
