Location beautiful. Noise and thin curtains, woke up at 5am and wedding parties till 2am in the mornings, had a three day stay and not a goodnight sleep on any of them. Spoke to staff with no outcomes, could have moved us , I have stayed here on a few occasions and need to be thought of better. No hair dryer , iron or fridge. It was expensive and the hotel needs an updating make over, breakfast was out dated and requires a new menu to cater for all.

Relaxing stay with amazing views of the Tyne

Friendly and efficient staff. Views of the mouth of the Tyne are amazing. Easy parking Despite the fact there was a wedding going on during our stay our room remained very quiet throughout our stay.(We suspect our room had been chosen by the staff well away from the celebrations) Restaurant staff managed service very well coping with a large bus tour and individuals

After staying at the Little Haven for the last 20 years(with 4 generations of family) I’m saddened to be writing this review. The Hotel has seriously declined & is in need of a total renovation. The new owner (in my opinion) is relying on its location to bring in business. Our ground floor room had restrictor/safety locks snapped off ( so we couldn't leave a window open) not good in hot weather. Furniture in rooms is the same as 20 years ago - warped bubbling wood, window blind slats missing(again not good on the ground floor with people walking by). The restaurant situation was shocking. At breakfast, we found that food wasnt replenished allowing for all guests to be offered a variety of food. One morning there was no fruit or bread left. Reception staff seemed to have lost their smart dress code(giving the hotel an unprofessional look)! On our most recent visit we had a total of 7 rooms booked & moving forward we have all decided to stay elsewhere on our next visit to sunny south shields.

It was a very hot weekend. I phoned the hotel before we left home and requested a fan for the room. I asked 3 times on the first night but fan never arrived. The carpet to the left side of the bed was soaked and the room smelled of cleaning fluids. The hotel appeared to be short staffed and breakfast took a long time as staff disappeared from the counter frequently. Having said that the staff were friendly and when I mentioned about the lack of a fan and the wet carpet I found a bottle of wine with compliments in my room. Location was lovely. It wouldn’t stop me staying there again.
