Very clean and comfortable flat in ideal location. Hotspur Street connects Front Street (with many pubs, cafes and restaurants) with Longsands beach. Also just a short walk to the Metro station. The flat itself has everything you could reasonably require for a self-catering holiday and we had a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

Lovely property in a great location. Managed to get parking right outside of the property. Loved how close it was to the town centre and you can see the sea from the upstairs bedroom.Plenty of space for us all and good size kitchen. Tynemouth has some excellent places to eat and drink (Riley Fish Shack on the beach and Low Lights Tavern in North Shields). We didn't need the car at all and walked to Whiteley Bay, North Shields, Blyth and North Shields and used the Metro to get to Newcastle.
