Stayed here before walking Hadrians Way. The place is beautifully clean with lovely decor. The homemade cup cakes were a lovely touch. Andrew and Stephen are fantastic hosts. Even drove to the shop to buy me a phone charger when mine broke! Lovely comfortable bed with good linen. And breakfast was superb (as has been noted on here previously). They... More

A fantastic overnight stay at what was one of the most stylish and welcoming BnBs we have stayed at. Ideally placed on the sea front the location was ideal as our base to see the sights on our first trip to Whitley Bay which was made all the better by having such a comfortable room to return to.

This was our first visit and on our arrival we received the warmest welcome we have ever had from any B&B or Hotel. There were even home made Banana Muffins in our welcome pack! The Metropolitan is spotless. The décor and fittings give it a touch of class yet you still feel instantly at home. Nothing is too much trouble... More

Found The Metropolitan on Trip Adviser. Without a doubt the best B&B experience we have had in several trips to the UK. Used The Metropolitan as a base to explore NE England. We originally booked for three nights, but were so impressed with the region and the property we stayed an extra day. Warm welcome, very comfortable room, and a... More

We chose the Metropolitan based on location and online reviews and were certainly not disappointed. We were immediately made welcome, the room was clean and well furnished and the breakfast was excellent. Good value for money, we would recommend the Metropolitan.

The small recently refurbished B&B provides a great alternative for staying in the area and their breakfast, including fresh fruit and cooked to order eggs is rightly praised. The location was quiet but a a short walk from both the sea with its promenade, restaurants etc and Whitley Bay town centre, 5 minutes in the other direction, has enough independent... More

Stopped over at short notice ( after consulting trip advisor ), whilst visiting relatives with new baby. Lovely place - we were put in room with double and 2 singles, so we could put baby moses basket on adjacent bed. Very kind and thoughtful of owners. Super value. Great place, good choice of breakfast. Attentive hosts. Would happily stay again.... More
