- KAREN (10/5): - A really friendly welcome from check in through to departure. It was really nice to have the personal, more thoughtful touches of a smaller hotel (vs the big chains!). The room was tastefully decorated and provided a quiet, comfortable space to relax (when travelling for work). In terms of the location, the owner suggested some great areas to explore and it was easy to find one of the many ‘individual’ restaurants. Great walks along the promenade and an excellent choice of breakfast options made this a really enjoyable stay. Would have no hesitation recommending and revisiting again in the future. Thank you
- Louisa (10/5): 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.

The little extras in the room, such as: bottled water, and cotton wool pads and cotton buds in the bathroom, showed the thought had been put into a relaxing and comfortable stay. The owners from start to finish were lovely, very helpful, friendly and welcoming......and just when I thought it couldn't get better, morning came and so did breakfast. Breakfast was delicious!

- Karen (2/5): This hotel has closed down, - This hotel has closed down and has been for many months. Yet Expedia and the hotel still accepted our booking.
