Grey Heron Townhouse

“Definitely a place to keep on your bucket list!”

The location is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view overlooking the river, and you can really feel how much heart and care the owners have put into the place, from the thoughtful decoration to all the little details that make you feel truly welcome. The breakfast was absolutely amazing and clearly prepared with the same care and attention to detail. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the incredible hospitality and support from the owners. They were so generous with their recommendations for local places and hiking spots, and when our car unexpectedly broke down, they went above and beyond to help us. Their kindness and genuine care made a stressful situation so much easier. This is more than just a beautiful place to stay, it’s a place where you feel looked after. We’re so grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

“Most enjoyable, we will return”

The breakfast was excellent, as were the owners and staff. The location was spot‑on for us. When we arrived, John, the owner, greeted us, gave detailed info about the area and facilities, and escorted us to our room, which was nicely named because it overlooked the river with a grey heron perched on the bank. The next morning, Liz, the owner/cook, guided us to our table where fruit juice and a large bowl of fresh fruit with yogurt awaited, followed by a choice of three main courses, homemade bread and jam, and croissants, plus tea and coffee. The beds were very comfortable and there was a walk‑in shower. It was our wedding anniversary on Sunday, and when we came down for breakfast Liz had left a card and a small gift—a very thoughtful gesture of hospitality. We couldn’t fault this location. The only point to note is that there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom, but there is a tea/coffee station in the dining room downstairs available at any time.

Liz and John are a treasure; the beds are super comfortable and the shower has excellent water pressure. Breakfast is top class, and I’ll definitely return. Nothing perfect, just the way it is.

The Grey Heron Townhouse was absolutely exceptional. The place is lovely and just a short walk from the high street, the beach, and nearby trails. Liz was incredibly kind and the host. I’ll be dreaming about waking up to the smell of delicious breakfast and the soft jazz that fills the breakfast room. If we ever come back to Newcastle, we’d love to stay at the Grey Heron again.
