Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Location and very friendly staff. Breakfast was very good and many options offered
Bathroom needs a deep cleaning. Shower walls were very dirty and needs bleach all over it
Clean, easy, lovely owner
Lovely host, very welcoming. Great breakfast, superb location, clean.
Comfy bed, slept so well. Lovely views over the sea. Everything we needed in the room. Breakfast was fantastic. Host was lovely, we will be back. Thank you.
Small bathroom but perfectly adequate for what we needed.
Very clean and a great warm welcome, the breakfast was amongst the best I’ve had
Location was ideal, host was great. Good value for money. Breakfast was lovely
Excellent location accommodation little tired. Breakfast was excellent
The room was a little tired, the mattress needed replacing for a good night's sleep
Fantastic breakfast choice. Great location and aspect. Hostess Maria was particularly friendly and informative.
Larger shower room.
We had a lovely time staying here, the breakfast was spot on, even my son loved their pancakes. The location is perfect for the shops, beach, skate park.
Everything was great. Only thing I'd advise is to upgrade the Tele in the family room. Only because my aunt couldn't watch utube.
Lovely family room, will return, lovely area.
Nothing
Lovely location, great hostess
Excellent location, very comfortable beds, very friendly staff and a very delicious breakfast.
Great little guest house in a fantastic location right next to Spanish City on The Links. Really welcoming, helpful team, spotlessly clean and comfortable, well equipped room. Good breakfast choice
Hat den Charm eines älteren B&B, direkt an der Promenade und easy Walk zu den Geschäften und Restaurants.
We loved the breakfast and all the different choices from full English to Burritos and Muffins and Pancakes. The people running the hotel were really nice and friendly and very helpful. The room was beautiful with stunning views and nice seating area in the window. Perfect location for a couple of miles walk either way down to St Mary's light house or Tynemouth. The beds were really comfy and the road out the front wasn't noisy at all at night.
I had to give it 9 out of 10 because we had to ask to retrieve loo roll for two days we were staying their (and milk on the first day) as the rooms were not replenished daily with these. Their were 3 of us staying their so we needed 1 roll a day for the bathroom. But that is honestly the only little thing we didn't like and it hasn't put us off as we will come stay again.
The breakfast was really good and the stuff was very friendly. Close to the centrum, restaurants and shops.
We didn't like the noise from the busy street that was in front of our window and they could be a bit more careful with the cleaning.
Gorgeous view. Comfortable room. Delicious cooked breakfast
Gute Lage, wunderschöne Aussicht, großes Zimmer, bequeme Betten, nette Gastgeberin, gutes Frühstück
Great location. The host is brilliant. She moved all the garden furniture in the front garden area to accommodate our motorcycles. Also gave us a lovely wave off when leaving after a super breakfast.
Rooms could do with a little freshen up but fine as they are for what you pay. We loved this place.
Amazing location very friendly, clean and great breakfast!

Maison typique anglaise, très jolie. personnels très sympathique et accueillant. Merci beaucoup.
Friendy staff. Cozy room. Breakfast included, nice ocean view. Great place to stay.
Die Gastgeber waren einfach Top. Das Frühstück war klasse und mit viel Liebe zubereitet.
Für 4 Personen ist das Zimmer eigentlich zu klein. Für eine Nacht ging es schon mal. Der Teppich hat seine besten Tage hinter sich. Das Bad war echt klein und der Abfluss war mit 4 Personen die Duschen wollen leicht überfordert.
Great location nice views and the host was really nice and catered for everything we needed.
Good location, good breakfast especially the pancakes. Good size room.
The wobby sink in the ensuite and the equally loose toilet roll holder. There is a view but only if you are on the higher floors. The ground floor had a view of the garden & the links which was often blocked by the smokers!
Friendly service.
Unclear glasses, they had lipstick on.
Great location. Comfortable beds in a well sizes room. Friendly staff and a great breakfast.
chambre avec vue sur mer
Where situated friendly atmosphere nice big rooms good food
Only thing sausage could have been cooked more just our preference
Fabulous stay Mariea very accomodating nothing too much trouble and very welcoming. Excellent breakfast. Great value for money.
Nothing not to like.
Hned u moře. 15 min pěšky k metru. Ochotná obsluha.
Trochu špína. Byl cítit odpad ze sprchy.

Everything, the owners are amazing and really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Highly recommended.

El trato personal fue increhible, el desayuno muy bueno y las vistes al mar geniales.
Ruime kamer en mooi uitzicht. We zijn hartelijk ontvangen en konden snel de kamer in. Het ontbijt was heerlijk!
Niets
Location only
Too high a price for a rundown room. The room stinks and the room itself is in a deplorable state.
Our room was lovely, as was our host. We loved our stay at Cara Guesthouse and breakfast was really good too. Would highly recommend
Nothing
Location, good breakfast, pleasant and friendly staff
A little dated, bathroom needs updating, loose toilet roll holder, loose radiator, carpet and flooring needs replacing. Room description deluxe - was roomy, but I wouldn't say deluxe
Great sea front location.
Accommodation was dated and needs some work. Appreciate that is expensive.
The room was lovely and we had a great view out to sea. The owner was really helpful and sorted us a taxi for our evening out and the breakfast was exceptional.
Nothing. All was great
Breakfast OK,good location
Paid for Seaview room it was the attic with sloping ceiling,bed covers well worn ,not ironed,hanger bracket fell off wall when you put clothes on it.Not impressed.
Seaview from the rooftop room. Friendly host. Nice breakfast.
The guesthouse itself (although comfy enough) is a little 'tired' decor wise.
Very pleasant host ,nice views Very clean ,good breakfast ,local to where we needed to be the playhouse overall excellent value for money thanks
It was a lovely room that we stayed in. The view was spectacular
Upgrade to a large Seaview room for very modest price. Comfortable. Good breakfast. Good checkin/checkout times
Breakfast was very nice, location was ideal for where we wanted to be.
Great location, lovely bright airy room, clean and comfortable, good breakfast, a safe undercover place for my bike and nice conversation with Maria the host
The shower room was small but perfectly adequate for me
Wonderful place ran by lovely people.
The Cara Guesthouse is brilliantly located right on Whitley Bay seafront. The room was clean tidy and comfortable, and the breakfast was outstanding with a great selection including full English, breakfast burrito with homemade salsa, pancakes or muffins. What a great host too. We will be back for certain.
Sehr schönes sauberes ZImmer mit Meerblick. Super Lage direkt am Strand. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiterin mit super Hinweisen zum Hundestrand.
Everything Marie and Derek were great hosts ... Gave my wife and I a top draw bedroom ... what more can you ask for a view of the sea when you wake up!! Breakfast delicious, absolutely well situated on the front of Whitley Bay right by The Spanish City. A great Car Park to park the car in just a few hundred yards down the road and anybody who has electric car ( like us ) EV Chargers to boot, always useful to know.
Nothing 😃
This is a Fantastic location and only yards away from the beach. Mariea was very attentive and the staff were great. It was great value for money, the place was clean and tidy, and the breakfast choices were great. I recommend the cooked breakfast. I'd give this place a 5☆☆☆☆☆ rating. Absolutely fantastic and I'd definitely stay again.
I didn't find anything I didn't like. 5☆☆☆☆☆
It was right next to the beach, right next to everything we wanted to do. Breakfast was lovely. Plenty tea and coffee in the room. And vets comfortable to sleep.
There was nothing I didn't like. Liked it all.
The most impressive thing of this Cara Guesthouse to us is its location. It has the full ocean view without any blockage. The parking is free at the nearby street . The breakfast has so many choices,, the classic English, the wrap type, the English muffins with bacon and eggs, and the American pancakes. Plus coffee/tea/cereal and milk. Very delicious cooking! We miss you! Thank you Julie! Mei

Thin Walled
Fabulous friendly helpful hosts. Lovely clean spacious room. Fantastic breakfast & lots of choices 👍♥️
Nothing. Although no parking on site , plentiful free parking nearby . Hosts provided details & directions for parking prior to our arrival.
Breakfast great with an interesting menu. The burritos were very tasty and very filling. Gluten free meal no problem. Great view from the bedroom window a d ideal location handy for everything. Refurbishments in progress did not interfere with our stay.. On street parking just around the corner 50 yds away
More matching cutlery on the dining table would help diners and save work for Mariea during breakfast. More wardrobe/clothes hanging facilities in the bedroom.would be welcome
Great location for seafront & Playhouse. Good breakfast.
Great location, room clean and comfortable, hostess was great, breakfast amazing. Would return
Nothing
Fantastic view and wonderful hostess.
En suite facilities were very tight with not much room for a big fellow like me.
Great location and happy to securely store bicycles overnight.

Great view or the seaside
Good
Staircase with knee provlem
It was the best weekend. The room had an amazing view, close to the beach and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious and big portions. Definitely recommend it and will be back again❤️
Obiekt położony przy samym morzu i sercu miasteczka - Spanish City. Bardzo dobre angielskie śniadanie i miła właścicielka.
Troszkę brudno, przydałoby się sprzątanie
De gastvrijheid was geweldig.
Het leek erop dat het al wat verouderd was en soms leek het dat alles wel een goede poetsbeurt nodig had.
Die beiden Damen waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und das Frühstück war auch sehr lecker. Alles war sauber und ordentlich. Sogar ein kleiner Kühlschrank war vorhanden.
Great location, great breakfast, provided everything we needed
Nothing really
Excellent host, with amazing knowledge of everything to do and see in the area. Lovely comfy beds and a brilliant breakfast in the morning.
Lovely welcome, friendly staff. Having our dog with us was no problem. Great location from beach, bars and restaurants.
The room was beautiful and bright with plenty of space and comfortable beds. Breakfast was good.
Nice and close to where we needed to be
Bed was really uncomfortable , clumps of dog hairs on floor
The carperts are dirty marked . The bedding looked like it was used. In my daughters room there were no towels at all they had to come and knock for ne and my husband to give them a towel.
Dirty carpets . Bedding looked as if it s been used.
Both myself and 9 year old daughter absolutely loved it. Such a friendly,warm and welcoming hostess. She made us feel at home from the moment we arrived, right through to when we left(neither of us wanted to leave). The room was beautiful, and the bed very comfy. I honestly had the best sleep ever. The beach is literally across the road. Very close to the amusements, shops and bar. There's so much to do and see. Tynemouth Aquarium is only a drive away. I highly recommend for everyone(especially for families). I absolutely loved the breakfasts. My favourite has to be the freshly cooked American pancakes with Nutella, they are honestly the best I've ever tasted in my life. The full English breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed our stay so much that we will be booking again for May.
There's nothing that I didn't like.
Beautiful guest house overlooking the sea and all amenities perfect and the cooked breakfast amazing value will definitely be back thankyou for wonderful stay
Nothing it was amazing
Grande chambre avec literie confortable proche du centre et au bord de la mer. Bon petit déjeuner ( végétarien possible). Parking à 150m gratuit de 18h à 9h
Légère odeur de canalisations dans la salle de bain Vue mer cachée par la présence de la fête foraine
Mariea war sehr nett und das kostenlose Frühstück wunderbar
Es war nicht überall sauber und das Zimmer hat komisch gerochen
Location great. Breakfast was good. Treated nicely by the owner.
Room was very dated and needed all fittings and decorations updating to that new look. Mattress was old and pillows needed changing as they were very lumpy. It could be a lovely property with a bit of money spent.
Fab location, very welcoming staff, good choice for breakfast, comfortable room. Dog friendly. We'd definitely stay here again.
The location was fantastic, right on the sea front an easy to find. On arrival we were made to feel instantly welcome. The room was nice, we had a sea view which was a bonus and the breakfast was fantastic!
It could do with a bit of a make over in some areas but that’s only a small issue due to me being a clean freak
We upgraded to a family room which had a marvellous view. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast excellent. A bonus for us was a two minute walk to a car park with EV chargers available.
Nothing
Great location and the host was very pleasant.
Very dated and crying out for a full refurbishment, I need to think back to my RAF days when my room had a sink in it. The shower door was broken with black mould everywhere the shower head constantly fell off the holder, the dining room was not clean with dirty cutlery and crockery. I know the price was competitive, however there is no excuse for poor hygiene in the dinning area. The bedroom was cramped and full of odd furniture. Would not stay again, shame as it has great potential but would need a lot of money to achieve that.
Excellent breakfast. Best american pancakes ever. Freshly cooked breakfast to order. Lovely.
Location and sea view.
Parking on street was limited however there was a large carpark close by which was inexpensive.
Great location, great view, great room and bathroom. The owners were super friendly and the breakfast was spot on.
Nothing I can think of.
Pleasant welcome and lovely room
Nothing
The guesthouse is directly on the seafront & close (but not too close!) to the arcades. The room was lovely and clean and the breakfast was amazing!
Nothing!
Location was perfect, exactly where we wanted to be. Breakfast was delicious, coffee refills and fresh orange. View from our room (top floor) was incredible, morning coffee sat in the window watching the waves and the world go by. Perfect way to start the day.
Excellent location, large comfortable rooms and comfy bed. Lovely views from our room
There was nothing we didn’t like
We had a warm welcome and managed to have an early check in which was really helpful. Our room had amazing views and the beds were really comfy. The breakfast was great and the staff were really friendly and helpful.
Maria the host very welcoming and pleasant. lovely breakfast
We arrived on our motor bike. we pulled up outside on Double yellow lines. I asked where we could park. Without further ado the hotel owner moved the planters in the front garden and we drove through the gate and parked directly in the front garden. Our room directly overlooked the front so we could keep an eye on the bike and we had a lovely sea front view from our window.Thank you so much for that, it is lovely when someone goes out of their way to be so helpful. I would recommend this hotel to other bikers We had a walk around along the sea front and evening meal at the beefeater which was great. Breakfast was fantastic and the host was so pleasant and helpful.
The only slight down side was the amount of traffic on the main road in front of the hotel. However this died down considerably during the evening so it did not disturb us in the night.
Excellent location on sea front. Very good breakfast, staff were lovely. Warm and comfortable
excellent value for money, any updating required didn’t impact on our stay
The location is first class!!! The owner’s are very friendly, welcoming and happy to help or just chat.
Could do with a couple of easy chairs to enjoy the lovely view.
