The Hamlet

Positive: Very comfortable and really clean Negative: Nothing

Looking forward to our next stay at ‘The Hamlet’ Positive: Everything !! Very clean, comfortable, cosy, well equipped - all you could need, easy parking, TV in bedroom - a nice touch. Easy access and then departure instructions. Negative: Only negative would be lack of a vacuum cleaner as we stayed for 4 weeks.

Negative: The house itself had everything you could need — it was well equipped, comfortable, and in a good location. Under normal circumstances, it would have been an easy place to recommend. Unfortunately, our stay was cut short due to a very serious and unsettling incident involving an unexpected police visit to the property. While this was later confirmed to be genuine, it caused significant distress and left us feeling unsafe remaining in the accommodation. We raised our concerns promptly and explained why we felt unable to continue the stay. Although the situation was acknowledged as upsetting, no refund or goodwill gesture was offered. Given that this incident was entirely outside of our control, this was extremely disappointing. I want to add that I have never left a bad review before, which makes writing this even more unfortunate. However, the way this situation was handled had a major impact on our experience, and for that reason, I can’t recommend this stay with confidence.

The Hamlet is a great place to stay when in Tynemouth. It has all the amenities you need for your stay, including well stocked cutlery and grocery, pots and pans. Even oil, coffee and herbs/spices! Brilliant. The sofa is comfy, tv massive and has freesat choices. The heating is efficient and warms the place fast on chilly evenings. The bed is comfy, bathroom large, with little packets of shampoo and body wash. All of these little touches add up and make your stay comfortable and home from home. The apartment is on the main road but we heard very little traffic noise and very little seagull noise! (Unlike an earlier stay in Tynemouth centre!) It’s about a 15 minute walk to the centre of Tynemouth, 11 mins to the metro station which has a fabulous market on weekends. All in all - The Hamlet was a fabulous stay and we would definitely recommend and stay there again in the future.

Positive: Clean and tidy very well decorated too. Negative: Bed was too soft and pillows to hard No tea pot in kitcheni
