“This family-run guesthouse stands out for its community feel and attentive management, plus the proximity to both cultural sites such as the Whitley Bay Playhouse theatre and natural attractions like St Mary's Lighthouse is a real advantage. It's particularly well-suited for families and those traveling with dogs, and that full English breakfast using locally sourced ingredients is not to be missed. It's a solid choice in Whitley Bay.”
