I do not regret it.Thoroughly enjoyable stay. I almost made the mistake of booking with Expedia but I wanted to check the breakfast options and I found the breakfast was a free upgrade for website bookings so I got a better deal overall on their homepage. My room was spacious and clean with modern touches eg usb sockets. The wifi was excellent. and the location is great, not far from the sea. Price is friendly, at least compared to what i am used to pay in my country (Switzerland). I look forward to returning.

No. 61 is a great place to stay while visiting the area. I have visited Tynemouth twice, but only…read morestayed here the second time, but for three nights with family. In fact, we took up a majority of the rooms offered here. The proprietors and employees are so kind and wish to make you feel at home. Breakfast is included in the tea room with your room and never disappoints especially when enjoyed in the Guest House private garden located in the back of the house. The rooms range from small double-sized beds to large "family" rooms all with en-suite washrooms. Clean, comfortable, and its superb location (next door to Salutation Inn pub and in the heart of bustling and beautiful ocean-side Tynemouth with train access to Newcastle approx 5 minute walk) only enhance the guest houses' already appealing price. If you're lucky enough to snag the room at the back of the house with the private patio porch looking over South Shields, then do so! The only problem with this room is that the door outside is your only access to fresh air (not so great on a rainy day). I would 100% recommend No. 61 Guest House to anyone visiting Tynemouth.

Just returned from one night at No 61 in Tynemouth…read more The property was clean and tidy, the rooms comfortable and the staff accommodating. Breakfast was hot and plentiful, the beds were comfortable, bathrooms very clean and generally was a pleasant stay. Tynemouth is a very pretty village in itself. The only problem is parking at weekends (very busy in the village). We had a bit of confusion over the price quote on the phone to us and the price we ended up paying, so get confirmation in writing of how much you are paying before you go.

This place was the best, a real home from home, ideal location for airport,will most definitely be…read moreback.
