Top Whitley Sands Hotel Reviews

Windsor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was just mins walk away to the beach of Whitley Bay. It's an older hotel and a very good price. Nothing fancy but clean, quiet and plenty of shopping near by. Staff was very nice and friendly. It was just a 1 night stay to enjoy the relaxing sea rather than a busy city and long my journey up the coast line of England to Bamburgh Castle."

Spacious Coastal Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in Whitley Bay! The property was clean and in a really nice location. The only minor downside was that the bathrooms were on a different floor from the bedrooms, but besides that, we had a great experience and would recommend it."

Stylish Cosy Two Bed Apartment - Coast Location

8/10 Good

"Location was excellent. Unable to open windows in apartment, stuffy in warm weather. No dish cloth, mop or toilet rolls. Otherwise comfortable."

Premier Inn Whitley Bay

8/10 Good

"The front desk was fantastic!"

Modern Luxury 2-Bedroom Oasis in Heart of Whitley

8/10 Good

"First impression was that the outside of the building could do with a little attention, but what a contrast once inside the apartment… superb, The only niggle was the noise from upstairs. Not deliberate, just very noisy laminate flooring. Loud enough to wake you. If you are a really heavy sleeper then you will be hard pushed to find a nicer place."

Cosy apartment with sea view

10/10 Excellent

"Sehr süß eingerichtetes Apartment direkt hinterm Strand. Man kann an der Strandpromenade mit dem Auto kurz anhalten, um aufzuladen. Whitley Bay hat viele Restaurants, Cafés, Bars und Läden. Der Strand ist toll, v. a. bei Ebbe. Wir waren zu zweit. Mit 4 Personen könnte es in der Unterkunft etwas eng werden. Toll ist der Blick auf das Meer!"

Vacant Nest - Acapulco Styled - Prime Location

10/10 Excellent

"Clean modern great location"
