I had an enjoyable stay in a long time. The breakfast was substantial with 2 vegetarians and attention to detail. The staff were amicable and excellent and knew how to help. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the location was efficient in Whitley bay. Plus, I could reach Royal Liver Building around 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.
Disappointing aspect was very small bathroom.

I came here for 1 night and had a fairly nice stay. This hotel was located in a central area just next door to a windy sea front, the beach and a couple of lovely restaurants too and amazing local eateries. I checked out The Cavern Club, that was set just a short walk away from the property. My single room was newly remodelled and large with amazing views. An electric kettle, central heating, and a TV were available here too.
