Liked: Staff & service
Beautiful location and excellent staff. We felt well taken care of. My one critique, is our bed was listed as a king bed but it is only a queen. They ended up moving us to a room with two beds, but they seemed surprised with the feedback about the bed size.

Disappointing

Stayed at The Little Haven several times and previously enjoyed our stay. Service and food quality in the restaurant poor, some very overcooked, another dish unrecognisable. Breakfast was okay. Lounge area is more like a cafe area and bar often closed. Bedroom was comfortable but getting dated.

My happy place!

I have stayed here a few times now. The staff are friendly and the location, sea view, is lovely. Food choice was a little limited for dinners but what I had was good. Breakfast was very good. I will definitely return.

Stoped here in numerous occasions, very convenient for South Shields, Newcastle and Sunderland. The staff are great and it’s located right next to the river Tyne near the Herd Groyne. The property could possibly my do with a little updating now, but clean and tidy.

A nice location, room was nice with standard equipment. However when my partner & I used the bath in the evening, we had an hour of horrid noise caused by the hot water rank refilling and reheating. Raised at checkout and got a "We'll get maintance to check it out". Ignoring the fact it completely ruined the mood of a romantic getaway & a good night's sleep. No recompense offered on request.

Access to the beach and views across the Tyne watching the ships arrive and depart perfect. The breakfast was not as promised on the menu and service much more dismissive and disinteret / rudeness by surpervisory staff not on a par with previous vists .Croissants, fresh fruit , choice of yogurts and other pastries non existent. No apologies or alternatives offered and if you were opting for soley continental breakfast tinned peaches, prunes and toast not very appealing and definitely not as advertised. For a weekend stay even more disappointing. Needs to get back on track.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is really nice with a great outlook, very short staffed, the food was nice but cold, husband had ate his gammon before receiving his vegetables which we had to ask for. The worst bed I have ever slept in, small hard and lumpy, no sleep. Location is really nice, but we won’t be back
