This is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway. We had a wonderful weekend with family. Everywhere is within walking distance. All amenities are catered for in this property and we were very impressed with the communication with the hosts from the moment we have booked to the moment we have left. The property itself is bespoke with top of the range facilities to use. We cannot wait to book through Host and Stay again. Thank you for having us!

Great location to Whitley Bay, and to the metro for the city. A few downsides not listed: - Not enough cutlery, for all 5 of us. We ended up using the plastic ones. - Broken vase just turned around to hide it was broken. - Lasty - The parking fine obtained. One car was parked in the really small car area. No room for the other car so we parked it in front of the other blocking only the driveway to the property. We came back from the GNR to discover we had a parking fine. No mention of this in the guide (the owners have supposedly now amended). We had to park the car 0.5 of a mile away and pay separately for parking. Having a small child this was less than ideal and we ended up accidentally leaving my £140 trainers behind. So already we were £175 down with the trainers and fine. Owners declined to reimburse us for the fine. Do not park down the back of the property if you can't get into the small car area, make sure u park elsewhere. A lovely house with a few things letting it down.

We enjoyed our stay a short walk from the beach and found the house to be generally furnished/fitted to a high standard. The utility room had a large hole in the ceiling and the shutter for the parking space was broken which let it down slightly but these issues were relatively minor in what is otherwise a great property.

Comfortable house in a good location.  However, we found a broken blind, stains to the carpet and an area of missing ceiling on arrival.  From a card left by a contractor, it appeared that there had been a leaking pipe and a repair was in progress. As the card was addressed to them, this was clearly known to Host and Stay and they should have informed us. We had no problem with the damage waiver but couldn’t understand why the amount was not advised until the booking was confirmed and why this payment had to be made outside of  Airbnb. Compared to other properties we considered, this was one of the more expensive, and although we enjoyed our stay, the customer service could have been improved.

Had a brilliant stay in the beautifully renovated Kittiwake House. Very cosy and comfortable living room and bedrooms. Excellent location for a great selection of cafes and restaurants in Monkseaton and Whitley Bay plus only a few minutes walk from the Metro for exploring further afield.
