I stayed two nights (25 & 26 May 2012). Mariea was very welcoming. My room was lovely with a great view of the seafront. The nights were quiet and the other guests were friendly. Breakfast was fantastic - very tasty and filling, setting me up for the day. I will definitely be coming back.

We were greated by a very friendly and happy lady. We were not expecting much we just wanted somewhere to sleep after a night at the Playhouse. We were delighted by what we found, it was spotless and tidy. It was also close to the Playhouse and the town centre. The breakfast was also good. Only downfall was the rooms... More

We booked a double room with The Cara Guesthouse and were supposed to check in on Sat 6th of Aug. However, when we arrived at the bloody B&B around 8pm, no one answered the door bell neither the phone. We just kept waiting and ringing the phone numbers umpteen times displayed at the front door. It's getting dark and after... More

Having read the one poor review and the other glowing comments we decided to book a week-end away. A little disappointed with the very dated decoration and the fact that the loo/shower was shared with three other rooms we did sleep comfortably. The creaking floor boards and the noise of the toilet flushing are, we suppose, part of the charm.... More

Simple and friendly b&b. I stayed one night in a single room with a view over the ocean. The TV was missing from the room but it didn't bother me. The toilet and shower was located in the hallway but with a sink in the bedroom. The owner is very friendly. Overall the b&b is very basic but regarding the... More

I stayed here for 1 night with my mum as we were going to a concert at Tynemouth Priory and Castle. We only wanted something bog standard and cheapish as we weren't going to be spending much time in it. When I spoke the manager/owner (American lady who answers the phone) she informed me that it was a 20 minute... More

This has to be the best guest house we have ever stayed in. Ideal for our annual lads away weekend but i would easily take my wife for a long weekend or short break. The rooms had everything we needed. Great shower and bathroom facilities. Beautifully, friendly hostess and staff. Less than 10 minutes walk from some great nightlife, (try... More
