Amazing service

The owner was so friendly and ready to help if required. They had gluten free breakfast options which is rare! And couldn’t do enough for me. The room was beyond expectations and bed very comfy.

Amazing personal service from Michael and Marissa

Stayed for 4 nights visiting friends and family, really convenient location but above all a very personal experience. The room was lovely, clean and freshly decorated, tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary homemade biscuits to help yourself to at reception. Very attentive and lots of really good recommendations to local restaurants and places of interest.

Wonderful stay

This boutique family run hotel is an absolute gem. The owners have impeccable taste, a theme running through every tiny detail. Gorgeous room and I have to say the nicest breakfast I've ever eaten. And as a bonus you have Trenchers fish and chips just around the corner. A lovely stay. Thank you!

We’ll be back.

The owner, Michael, met us at the door. He was friendly and made us feel very welcome. He explained the hotel's layout, guided us to parking, and told us about breakfast. The rooms are clean and well set out. Each room has a fridge. Though the hotel does not serve evening food, there is a machine for snacks, and they serve homemade cookies. The breakfast was delicious. There was plenty of choice, including gluten-free and alternative plant-based milk options. We were visiting family and are delighted to have found nd this hotel nearby. We’ll be back.

The hotel is great and the location is good.The town and beach front are both within easy walking distance. The decor is really nice and the breakfast was amazing. Micheal is a superb host and gave us some great info about local places to eat and drink and about the fantastic Craft fair in Tynemouth which was really helpful. We were on the top floor of the holel and the room was extremely warm even with the windows open and using the electric fan which was in the wardrobe. Tea and coffee making facilities were supplied and there was also a microwave in the room.Overall we had a great stay for a couple of nights.

Great stay. Superb breakfast. Parking a little difficult. A handrail on one side for the four wide steps down to the bathroom would be a nice improvement. Other than that it was all excellent.
