Parking was always easy to find and the permit means you can park for free. It is very close to the metro and we used it frequently to go all over the region. There are some fantastic places to eat and drink both in Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. Newcastle is only 30 minutes away. There are some fantastic beaches close by and some great coastal walks. The National Trust properties nearby are well worth a visit. We loved Cragside and you could spend the whole day there.

Lovely, quirky, open plan accommodation in a quiet street, 5 minutes walk to the town centre. Hosts really helpful, great information pack. Wonderful comfy bed. Went on the metro into Newcastle twice (actually saw the fog on the Tyne!!!). Blessed with sunshine all week. 10/10. Would love to return

we enjoyed our stay. Located close to the Metro station and a short walk to the beach with several good restaurants and bars nearby: ideal to explore Whitley Bay, Newcastle and parts of Northumberland. Parking is on the street outside: a parking permit is supplied and we did not have any issues finding a slot all week. The kitchen is well equipped and the apartment has a toilet on both floors which is useful as it does have two sets of stairs. The master bedroom is a little challenging if you are tall as you need to duck to avoid banging your head.
