Overnight stay but 5 mins to Metro station right by the coast had a nice morning walk along the coastal path. Clean friendly and just what i wanted again. Good breakfast in the morning set me up for the day. Until the next time.

Excellent modern guest house. I had a single room overlooking the courtyard, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The breakfast was delicious and the owner so welcoming and helpful. I will definitely book here again.

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.

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
