Pet-friendly summary
Longsands Lodge is a spacious, dog-friendly base right in the heart of Tynemouth, the handsome seaside town on the Tyne and Wear coast just north of Newcastle. For owners who want to explore the coast on foot with a dog, its position is hard to beat, and it comes with one genuinely practical touch that dog owners love.
That touch is a dedicated wet room for hosing down dogs and wellies, exactly what you want after a bracing walk on the sand, and a sign the property has been set up with dogs properly in mind. Beyond that, the location does the heavy lifting: both of Tynemouth's beaches, including the long sweep of Longsands, are an easy walk away, as are the town's shops and restaurants. Inside, the apartment is generously sized and very well equipped, comfortably suiting larger family groups, and guests arrive to a welcome pack with a helpful, responsive owner on hand if anything comes up.
A few honest notes. The apartment sits above shops, which one guest felt was a mixed blessing, so it is worth bearing in mind if you prefer a standalone property, though most found it quiet and comfortable. One or two guests also mentioned minor niggles such as a downstairs ensuite that could do with a little updating. None of it took the shine off an otherwise excellent, well-located stay.
It suits a family or group travelling with one or more dogs who want a roomy, superbly located coastal base with beaches and a dog wash on the doorstep, and who do not mind being above the shops in the middle of a lively seaside town.
