The View Old Coast boasts a stunning location with breathtaking views and proximity to Tynemouth's attractions. While guests appreciate the potential and position of the property, they note it requires significant refurbishment and cleaning to meet expectations.
Numerous reviews consistently report unclean conditions, including stained carpets, mould, and dirty kitchenware. Despite some positive comments, the overwhelming consensus indicates a need for a thorough deep clean.
The property's location is highly praised for its superb views and easy access to local amenities, making it a desirable spot despite other shortcomings.
While the property's location offers comfort through its views, guests frequently mention issues with beds, broken furniture, and a general lack of upkeep that detracts from the overall comfort.
Facilities such as the hot tub and games room are mentioned negatively due to poor maintenance. Electrical and plumbing issues are also noted, indicating a need for significant improvements.
Some guests mention welcome gifts, which is a thoughtful touch, although it's clear that such gestures are not consistent and should not be expected by future guests.
Once belonging to the Queen and guarded by the nearby fort, The View Old Coastguard Cottage has plenty of history within its walls. Looking out onto the sea, this charming property has been transformed into a welcoming holiday home. With five bedrooms and two bathrooms the property sleeps up to 10 guests, so you can gather your loved ones together and enjoy a stay in Tynemouth to remember. Steeped in history with strong maritime connections, The View Old Coastguard Cottage is located in the upmarket seaside town of Tynemouth. Boasting a beautiful sandy beach, a Victorian boating lake and an array of independent cafes, restaurants and bars, there is truly something for everyone in Tynemouth. Enjoy relaxing walks along the seafront, amble along the promenade to the popular North Shields Fish Quay or explore the Blue Reef Aquarium. If you have little ones, they’ll love Tynemouth Park where there is a dinosaur themed mini golf course and pedalo boats.
We’d also recommend visiting Whitley Bay during your stay where you can enjoy two miles of golden sands and experience incredible views of the coastline from the Victorian lighthouse on St Mary’s Island. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat, head to Spanish City where you’ll find a Renaissance-style hall transformed with a fish and chip restaurant, a traditional tearoom, a waffle and pancake house and a champagne bar inside. There is a metro station located in Tynemouth with frequent routesto South Shields and Newcastle so you can explore the North East easily. A number of connecting routes can also be found from these stations so getting to other locations around the UK could not be easier.
You’ll also find a number of bus stops throughout the town. Hop on the Arriva 306 route which travels to Newcastle with stops in North Shields and Jesmond amongst others. A vibrant and stunning property, sat astride the historic Spanish Battery on Tynemouth, boasting 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that can comfortably accommodate 10 guests in fine living and easy living for a wonderful getaway on the Northumberland coast. Two trundle beds are also available upon request, increasing the occupancy to 12.
At the beating heart of this property is the combined kitchen and dining room. Dominating the kitchen is the centre island, with fine, white worktops spreading out across it and the surrounding kitchen. The island also houses the electric hob on top of it and the extractor fan above. Circling the island are the other worksurfaces, as well as the drawers and cupboards that house all the cutlery and dinnerware you will need. The kitchen also offers two electric ovens, fridge and freezer, toaster and kettle. Across from the Kitchen is the dining room, which has space and chairs to seat six people comfortably for comfort dining as you admire the decorations across the walls.
Through from the kitchen is a games room for the perfect night-in. Fitted with a pool table, two sofas,TV, fridge and mini-bar. This room is the ideal place for a high-octane Friday night. For those more quiet hours of relaxing however there is also a living room, luxuriously decorated, with a wood-burning fireplace and flatscreen TV, all of which you can relax and take in while reclined in one of the two sofas or the plush leather armchair.
