This comfortable apartment is the perfect base for exploring and set only 3 miles to the fabulous sandy bay and sea at Seaton Sluice, a wonderful unspoilt beach ideal for those who like a little peace and quiet.

Nearby Whitley Bay is home to the fabulous Spanish City, the iconic building which has been renovated to provide a lovely champagne bar and restaurants.

Marley's retreat is a lovely snug apartment in a little village just outside Whitley Bay.

Marley's retreat is a lovely snug apartment in a little village just outside Whitley Bay. The apartment is well catered and very dog friendly which was brilliant for us as a family of 4 plus 2 dogs. The village has 2 really lovely pubs, with good food options and the roaring open fire in the Old Fat Ox was very appreciated in the freezing temperatures we had when visiting. Max who owns the apartment and runs the shop just a few doors down was lovely and accomodating and happy to help with any information needed. Plus the broonie and tiffin were incredible!!!

We stayed at Marley’s Retreat because we had some business to do in Newcastle.

We stayed at Marley’s Retreat because we had some business to do in Newcastle. The cottage looks tiny from the outside, but once up the stairs we found a roomy but cosy front room and a luxurious master bedroom. The solemn wooden furniture in the big bedroom complimented the cottage/flat beautifully and is very classy as well as providing plenty of space for clothes. The bed is absolutely huge! I’m 5’10” and I touched neither the headboard nor footboard when I was sprawled out enjoying the space available to me. The kitchen, bathroom and second bedroom are somewhat ‘bijou’ but that didn’t stop us cooking, showering or making use of the second bedroom. The floors are not completely flat which I loved, as it was a nod to the age of the building and its historicity. Max had decorated the flat very tastefully, with Christmas mugs, mats (in the bathroom) and a delightful Nutcracker duvet set in the big bedroom, as well as a tree, lights and window stickers.All in all it was a lovely refuge and I’d like to buy the flat as is, let alone stay there again, which we certainly will if we’re ever up in Northumberland again!

Great place thanku. So clean, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated throughout- thanku to MaxWe had great time with 3 visits to the hostelry next door who also provided parking ( which was v necessary) plus good beer and foodOverall super visit- only downside was lack of parking, proximity to road to enable dogs and luggage to be safely ensconced, and lack of any outdoor space However, deffo a wonderful experience- thanku

Excellent place. Spotless, clean and conforo

Warm and cozy upstairs flat. Spotlessly clean and the host had left use things for breakfast, which we weren’t expecting! The walk down Holywell Dene to Seaton Sluice is fantastic and the dog loved it!
