Located on England's northeastern coast is the seaside town of Whitley Bay. There were mining and fishing activities in this area throughout the nineteenth century, but it is now a well-known tourist destination, with visitors flocking to its two-mile stretch of golden sand on the North Sea Coast. In addition to the town's charming independent shops and arcades, Spanish City, a remarkable dining and entertainment complex that was originally constructed in 1910 as a concert hall and painted to look like a Spanish village, is a popular tourist destination. Visit Di Meos, Whitley Bay's best ice cream parlour, after having your fill of fish and chips and strolling along the promenade. A short drive away is Newcastle-upon-Tyne, home to numerous pubs, bars, and restaurants, as well as a fantastic shopping centre and the Quayside on the River Tyne's banks which is a perfect location for walking. Gateshead's Millennium Bridge and The Sage's curving steel roof are just two of the city's architectural wonders that can be seen from the banks of the Tyne. Or visit The Discovery Museum, a maritime museum filled with local history. Because the Tyne and Wear Metro passes through many of the surrounding boroughs, taking in the sights of this fascinating region is a easy.

Very comfortable and warm and really convenient for several pubs and restaurants that were literally on the doorstep. Also only a short walk from the sea front. Nice touches with a bottle of fizz, bread and milk to welcome us. Our host Judy was really helpful.

Due to a severe weather warning we decided to leave where we were and come here earlier than planned. At the drop of a hat Judy made sure everything was in order, the heating was on and there was a nice chilled bottle of Prosecco on our arrival along with butter, jam and the nicest bread ever! There was everything we needed at the lovely, clean apartment where instructions were clear and easy. A great location right near the seaside with lots to do. We hope to return in the future - many thanks to you Judy.

Judy was extremely helpful and communicated everything with ease. The place is very well equipped, warm and spotless. The car parking space is a definite bonus although the bus stop and metro station are both less than a 5 min walk away. Although next to a busy road, the place is very quiet. There is no garden space so dogs need to be walked in the alley by the car parking space which is not a big issue. Overall a very nice place to stay when in Whitley Bay.
