    • Deluxe Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Sharing a bathroom for our short stay was fine,-but an available separate toilet would have improved our experience

    Graeme was very accommodating ,easy going ,kind and helpful ,-there was plenty of choice. at the self service breakfast and the views from our room were magnificent in the truest sense of the word .I woke up to a ‘big’ vista of the river Tyne -blue sky‘- and river traffic right in front of me - shame that we were travelling onward The vibe is laid back - and suited us just fine -.I would return for sure

    There were a lot of cereal boxes but some were almost empty. The peanut butter jar was empty but not replenished the following day.

    I had a lovely large room and a lovely view of the sea. The owner was friendly and carried my bag up the stairs for me.

    The listing was not entirely accurate as to the room.

    Fantastic location. The listing wasn't entirely accurate but the place was located in a Fantastic location. The host was friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for 5 star, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a lovely location at a reasonable price, this is your place.

    - A few things were old, creaky and/or broken e.g. front door very hard to shut and some kitchen things but overall didn't affect experience too much - Ground floor bathroom basin small and hard to use, shower a bit rusty, no hand soap provided just hand sanitizer - Kitchen knives not sharp

    + Great space, warm, clean, and very quiet + Friendly and relaxed host + Help yourself breakfast with free to use kitchen + Game room with lots of activities despite being a bit untidy + Large TV in room nice for watching in bed + Good living area and nice outdoors area + Great location and view + Great price

    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    the front door was a bit difficult to lock but i managed to lock it with a bit of effort , the TV had a firestick to view programs with but we were unable to get it to operate or connect to the Wifi , hot drinks making was provided but only tea was provided in the room , we would have preferred coffee but there was not any provided in the room , other guests were a bit noisy and we could hear them being sick , it was a bit unpleasant , but i was informed via text message the host did make sure this would not happen again and the guests making the noise were barred from returning to the property , we did choose to leave early in the morning and that was not a problem , reasons were to avoid traffic jams and the noisy guests were a contributing factor in our decision to check out early and not stay for breakfast

    Although we arrived later than expected we were warmly welcomed and shown to our room , it was clean and well presented , a large screen TV was in the room and plenty of plug points for all the devices we had with us , the room had an en suite toilet shower room , a small window with a sea view , bed was comfortable , although right on the shoreline the room was adequately warm and comfy , parking is street parking and safe with cctv monitoring . If in the area again would consider staying again .

    The bathrooms were a little wonky and cold but the positives far outweigh. Sorting them would make it absolutely the tops. Breakfast wasn’t up to much, but again not really an issue.

    The Views from the bed/bedroom and the lounge were amazing ..hard t top. Coupled with the fabulous reception by Alex and Deb warrant 11/10!!! 🤗

    The original booking at the view included continental breakfast but there was none provided at the substitute location but there was a morrisons near for milk & bread. It was disappointing that we were not able to stay at the view as it overlooked the harbour & my husband is from that area & he was looking forward to overlooking the Tyne.

    The location of the house was good within walking distance of Tynemouth centre considering this was not our original destination for staying at Tynemouth due to the original property not being available. The house was modern & comfortable.
