Had to wait a while to gain access, but apologies given. Not much space for clothes as small room,needs a better bedside lamp (for reading) But can't complain due to the very reasonable price . Breakfast outstanding!

A cosy guesthouse on the seafront. We were allocated a room upstairs, unfortunately not a sea view, hopefully next time. We had our own bathroom close to the bedroom. We parked in the council carpark close by, popped out at 9am to pay for the day, £3. Marea and staff were friendly and hospitable. We enjoyed our stay.

The property was very dirty. Breakfast was not cooked to our liking - just had breakfast once then went out the other days. Couldn’t have tea or coffee in the room because the teapot had standing water in it when we arrived and the pot was stained and needed cleaning. Will not return nor recommend this place to others.

Single room for my dad. Perfectly adequate for his needs. Owner and staff were so lovely and helpful. Couldn’t fault them. Excellent breakfast choices all cooked to order. Room was comfortable and clean - just a cobweb up high on the ceiling and a bit of dust on the upper window shutters. The decor in a few places is showing wear, but overall, this is excellent value for money and a delightful seafront B&B. Will certainly be staying again. 👍

Booked last minute and Julia was there to greet me on arrival. I had my dog with me and she was also made most welcome! There was a doggy welcome bag in the room which was a beautiful touch! Really homely atmosphere and lovely breakfast! Will most definitely stay again!

The Cara, is without a doubt the best place I have stayed in the past few years, I arrived after the check-in time, and was greeted in a very , very friendly way, the owners son carried my bag from my car, got me checked in, asked after my welfare,room was spotless and extremly comfortable, a very quiet house too, in morning the breakfast was fantastic, ideal morning atmosphere, I will have no hesitation staying here again.....James

We received a lovely warm welcome from Mariea. After arriving earlier than planned we were able to drop our cases off, Mariea explaining that our cases would be taken to our room. We even got an upgraded room due to someone cancelling. The room was lovely, clean and spaceous with a fabulous sea view. Tea / coffee facilities. TV. Hairdryer. It was like home from home. Mariea ensured our stay was one to remember. Nothing was too much trouble. The full English breakfast was excellent and set us up for our day of walking. We will definitely book The Cara Guest House again and would recommend to family and friends.

The room was really nice it was one off the on suite rooms at the top of the House. Comfortable beds. Clean, shower room good shower hot . Heating was off when we arrived but the room had 2 free standing heaters which did the job . View from room lovely. Breakfast very nice. Staff friendly. Parking although we were told we could park in the next road there were no spaces but just 50 yards away there is a large car park with free overnight parking . Good price for a very nice B&B

The properties location is excellent, being on the sea front.Unfortunately my room was very shabby, there was exposed pipework, holes in the flooring and worn, chipped furnishings. On the positive side the bed was very comfortable.Breakfast was also very disappointing, there was little choice, the milk had gone off and my eggs were under cooked and raw in parts.In all not what I expected for its 3 star rating.

Horrible experience, avoid this place! There was no one at the hotel to check us in when we arrived at 5:45 PM on a Friday, just a note on the locked door to call "Carol". Well, Carol never answered the two phone calls/messages we left, nor the text from another guest who told us Carol was out playing Bingo. The owner finally responded to one of my 3 emails telling me that she was in California and that Carol should be there to let us in. Well she wasn't, so after waiting outside in the dark for 2 1/2 hours with my children we were forced to go to another hotel and pay more than we had budgeted.

I stayed here for 5 days whilst doing a training course in North Shields, very friendly staff, there's a shop, cafe and takeaways round the corner, I used the public car park round the other corner for my stay, great view from upstairs, great breakfast. I would highly recommend.

This guest house is right across from the sea, the room was very cute, and room #5 is perfect for a single. I loved it. I sometimes worry about sharing a bathroom but it was fine. Two of them on the second floor, and I never had to wait. Nice shower heads and good water pressure. They make a great breakfast too, and it was a great price!

We stayed in a super large family room. It was really great to be able to put our whole family of 5 in one room. We had a lovely stay at the Cara Guesthouse. It is right on the coast. Beautiful views. The breakfast was nice. The woman who runs it is really personable. It was comfy and clean. The showers and bathrooms were in the hall, which I thought would be an issue, but it was not.

Great location on seafront and across from the Rotunda. As long as you don't mind shared bathrooms it is great and hard to beat for the price

I arrived early and was able to checkin at 10 am which was fantastic as I had been travelling through the night. My idea of great accomodation is to look out at the ocean when I wake and this provided that.
