Lived like a Lord of the Manor for 3 days. I grew to love the place and friendly service. A nice relaxing break together with really good food in Library Restaurant. Well worth the extra cost.

Lovely room (room 4), but needs a mirror over the chest of drawers so that you can use a hairdryer, as there is no mirror and plug together in that room.
A coat hook on the back of the bathroom door and also a shelf in there would be useful.
Always a pleasure to stay at this lovely hotel.

Generally we liked everything, though lots of items, the bathroom for example was what we would call 'tatty' doubtless because you have been closed due to Covid for lengthy periods this year and last. Thus repainting has not been able to be done. Sleeping was good, not least because Elizabeth was able to have sheets and blankets rather than a duvet.....exactly as we requested in fact. Good.

A characterful village inn hotel, recently refurbished by the owners. Very friendly, relaxed welcome and service from Kayleigh & Marcus and all their staff. Room had a lovely view through the village and towards the hillside. Well appointed and very tastefully decorated ensuite room too. The bar itself is busy with a good selection and found everyone to be very friendly both in the bar and in general around the village, no-one passes you without saying "good morning". In short, very enjoyable...

Lovely room and bed very comfortable. I hadn't realised there was a pool so can't comment on that but it looked very clean and quiet.
Very close to metro centre so ideal if that's what you are there for. Taxi to Quayside cost around £14 one way

A very impressive and imposing hotel that's clearly benefited from a multi-million pound revamp in the last year. I was offered a voucher each day for a free pint in return for foregoing daily housekeeping services and I thought this was a nice perk. Breakfasts are of the self-service variety and generally everything was in good supply, although all the croissants had gone occasionally. All in all an excellent base for a stay in Tynemouth, a gem of the North East.
