About this property
Perched on the coast of Cullercoats, Tyne and Wear, just paces away from the beach is this delightful cottage, Bay Cottage. Situated just a mere stone's away from a plethora of amenities and attractions, this charming abode is the idyllic setting for a family of four. Once you've parked up in the handy off-road parking, enter the welcoming living/dining room, beautifully presented with ornaments, hard wood flooring and a multi-fuel stove taking centre stage. Unwind on the plush seating in front of the TV, with a standing lamp to provide some gentle lighting. Moving through the property, locate the sleek kitchen, containing all the essentials you need to create your favourite dishes, cook up a storm in the electric oven and fry up a treat on the gas hob. When dinner is served, gather around the elegant dining table, break open a bottle of wine and toast to a splendid holiday besides the sea! As the evening draws to a close, climb upstairs to discover two charming bedrooms, snuggle up in the twin room, or sink into the king-size; both bedrooms are white-washed with a splash of blue to remind you of your coastal location. Before you hit the sheets, indulge in a soak in the free-standing bath in the ground floor bathroom, styled with emerald, green décor and offering an overhead shower to rinse off afterwards. In the morning, enjoy a steaming cup of coffee in the rear garden, breathe in the sea air and relish the peaceful location. Bay Cottage is an excellent base for exploring the North East Coast, take a short stroll to the beach and explore Cullercoats Caves, a fascinating tunnel in the rocks; be sure to experiment the array of eateries in Cullercoats too, or enjoy the seaside café for a slice of cake with a view. The village is settled between Tynemouth and Whitley Bay, embark on an adventure to Tynemouth Aquarium to see a variety of sea creatures, including sharks, or Whitley Bay for a great selection of gifts shops to remember your holiday by. Travel a little further afield to the thriving city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, have a riveting learning experience on Beamish, the Living Museum of the North, for an open-air museum, or get dressed up to the nines to experience the lively night life of the city, hosting a wealth of exciting bars to try-out. For a memorable getaway with your loved ones, stay at Bay Cottage.

The owner is very responsive and helpful (I have stayed three times now). Quiet street, cute cottage well equipped, just two minutes from the beach.

We used the log burner too in the evenings, and the squishy sofas and subdued lighting added to a relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, everything clean and fresh. Two minor gripes - we couldn't have a hot bath as for some reason the water would run cold half way through filling. Lashings of hot water for the shower, but there seems to be a glitch with the plumbing to the bath taps? The other thing to mention was the steep wooden stairs - we had to be really careful on them as they were quite slippery and could be a problem for someone with limited mobility. We loved the cottage and hope to return - it's near the beach (sea-view from back bedroom) near local shops and cafes, and a 5 minute walk from the metro.

Facilities and cleanliness were good, however, as I'm a 'clean freak', there was quite a bit of dust on skirting board by plug and behind sofa. I think one more saucepan would be helpful. One small and one large is not enough, also they were a bit 'tired'. The large baking tray in the oven was quite dirty ..maybe previous people left it like that. We didn't use it. We assumed as there was a log burner that some logs would be provided. A coffee table in lounge would be useful as the little side tables are quite unstable. Another lamp in corner would also help the ambience....Overall we enjoyed our stay and hope you take this as constructive.
