A ten-minute walk from the town centre, this pristine B&B in an Edwardian villa has comfortable bedrooms, a light-filled lounge and breakfast room, and off-road parking at the front. For breakfast, a selection of fruit juices, cereals, dried and fresh fruits and yoghurt is followed by cooked to order dishes – maybe a full Northumbrian (dry cured bacon, sausage, black pudding, grilled tomato, mushrooms and a choice of free range eggs). The friendly hosts offer plenty of tips for days out in the area and where to eat nearby.
