“Best guest house”
It was the best guest house we've ever stayed in. Paul and Eleanor were the friendliest and most helpful hosts, they couldn't do enough for you. The whole house was immaculate and had character. It was the perfect base for exploring Northumberland. We will definitely go back.

We had room 4 which had a balcony overlooking the estuary. It was lovely to sit and relax and enjoy the view. Room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was continental only but there was plenty of choice and variety. Short walk into town where there were a few places to eat and drink.

“The short stay was super and I would definitely return.”
I liked everything about Westea especially the staff who gave a lovely welcome and chatted during the breakfast. The room was lovely with a super view of the water. The breakfast just right. On site parking was useful.

“Clean enough but in need of attention to detail and renovation”
The location, room with a terrace. There were lots of radiators in the room and a freestanding one, there was no chance of being cold! Modern bathroom. There was a sideboard in the hall way to replenish the tea and coffee if you wanted to. We decided to leave early in the morning so didn’t stay for breakfast
