We want people to enjoy their stay here with us, and we'll do everything possible to ensure that. We pride ourselves on our warm welcome and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We are situated adjacent to the beautiful North & South Marine Parks, and within easy walking distance of the harbour and seafront, with two lovely sandy beaches and a stone built pier.

(A little further afield is another beach, Marsden beach with it's distinctive and famous 'Marsden Rock' and unique 'Grotto' pub and restaurant.) We're just five minutes walk from the main shopping centre, Market Square, Catherine Cookson Museum, and the Roman Fort & Museum, Arbeia.
