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!

Good value

I chose the Cara Guesthouse because I wanted all to be good given the price.  My stay was good but if i nit picked I could list quite a few things not quite but to scratch.  That said I could not have beren more welcome

The Cara Guesthouse is a little Gem in Whitley Bay right on the seafront and you can watch the sunrise every day. The ground floor room we had was en-suite which was good and we had a large TV and a fridge and plenty of Tea and Coffee. Bed was comfortable with good pillows and enough towels. Breakfast was interesting not only the standard fair but things like pancakes and burritos as well, quirky but nice. Staff brilliant nothing to much trouble. Situated close to the towns playhouse theatre and only a short walk to town.
No parking available at the property but less than a hundred yards along from the property is a large car park. The place was really really nice and contributed greatly to my wife and I having a brilliant weekend away  

Fab place to stay

Just had a night at this super b&b ,we had the large family size room overlooking the links and sea ,very light and sunny room with 2 armchairs to sit by the window  ,hospitality tray,iron,hairdryer,big TV , and a good shower .
This is a very handy location for the playhouse (a few minutes walk)  carparks nearby , Spanish city just over the road and a very nice real ale bar ,also a short walk across the links to the sea .
The breakfast was really nice ,friendly staff  to look after us ,my hubby and me shared our breakfast burritos and pancakes with syrup, we didn't get hungry again until 4pm (we ate at just after  8am !) We will definitely stay here again when we want to see another gig at the playhouse  .

A nice B&B in a good location 

Liked : Went for an overnight visit with my sister. Central Whitley Bay location near to Spanish City. A local supermarket just around the corner. The owner was welcoming with our two little dogs.  Room size was good. Heating wasn’t on although there was an oil heater in the room. Had a fridge, a kettle and cups with a few coffee, biscuits and tea. There was an iron and hairdryer which we didn’t use but would be welcome for guests. The room decor was modern but  looked a bit unfinished in parts sadly making the overall appearance lacking in care.  Tv good size for a family room. 2 single beds and a double would accommodate a family.  We didnt try the shower but it looked in relatively new condition. We didn’t try it as it was narrow.  Comfy beds. Nice breakfast selection and a freshly cooked poached egg was a nice touch.

Disliked : We had some valid safety concerns. 
The TV cable and plug were worn exposing wires. There was a wooden unit which was a wobbly and shaky and was not attached to the wall. This had a kettle on it and an iron sitting precariously on the top section which could easily fall onto someone’s head causing injury. There was also a very dirty looking ( probable ) soil pipe in the room which was visibly exposed. There were no fire instructions available for guests and no opening windows for fire escape, although we accepted that we were in the ground floor. 
The shutters on the windows were attractive but as they were not able to be shut on the top levels this meant that light from the cars passing at night were disturbing and kept us awake. There were no curtains to pull across. I suspect in winter this room would also be cold.  
On Tuesdays most nearby places get a meal and drink were closed. Doubly difficult for folks with dogs. We eventually sat outside a local bar which served meals outside. The meal was delicious but it was very cold to be sitting outside after 6pm. Tynemouth much more dog friendly. 

Some safety concerns should be addressed.

Pet friendly and room was tidy and clean. Basic facilities. Breakfast was ok,the staff were polite. Given two keys for access to room and front door location was great for the area. Beach directly across from the guesthouse, Spanish city and other restaurants, pubs entertainment a 5/10 minutes walk. Bus stop across the road to other area's. Only negative point was trying to check in doorbell wasn't working, so we had to phone several numbers to finally get the on site manager. 

Nice weekend break, would come back.

Spotlessly clean very nice room and great breakfast
My room, number one, did not have a sea view but the links, beautiful grassy area, and the sea are right outside the front door 
Plenty of breakfast choices 
My room was quirky, with hand basin outside the shower room, but everything worked and nothing to complain about

Excellent value for money in ideal position

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.
