“Great place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 12, 2013

The review from Robert S must be some sort of joke? This is a well located b and b close to the bars and restaurants but just far enough away for a peaceful nights sleep. The beach is just a minutes walk away. The rooms are well appointed and clean. Tea and coffee and flat screen tvs with freeview. Bathrooms... More

Wendy was very good to the three of us who were working up the coast in Blyth Shipyard, driving us to work, after cooking us a hearty breakfast, and welcoming us in the evening with local knowledge of the fair available. The room was... More

I’m extremely disappointed with these comments and strongly refute the allegations made. Contrary to what’s stated here, this man & his brother both commented on how “lovely” the room was & how pleased they were with everything. Towels were available in the room but more were provided upon request. The room had been thoroughly cleaned only that morning by me... More
