10 minute walk to the metro which takes about 25 to 30 minutes to Newcastle Central Station.

The location of the accommodation is very near to the town centre and beach etc.

There are numerous pubs, restaurants to take advantage of.

I met the owner to obtain entry but there is key system available.

Would certainly recommend.

Stayed at Elmswood Guest House recently. It was a single room without an en-suite, which I was aware of beforehand and was absolutely fine for what I needed.

Overall, everything was relatively clean, though there were a couple of details that could have been better.. some mould in the shower and quite a bit of hair next to the side of the bed. Nothing catastrophic, but noticeable.

The stay itself was straightforward and did the job. It’s very much a “somewhere to sleep” kind of place rather than somewhere you’d go out of your way to experience.

The only slightly frustrating part was the checkout process. I couldn’t find the dropbox for the keys when leaving, so ended up putting them back in the lockbox. The email instructions they send try to be friendly but were a bit unclear and not especially helpful in that moment.

All in all, it served its purpose, just with a few small things that could be improved.

Originally booked on another site that said breakfast was available but I cancelled due to finding a cheaper offer and I'm so glad I did as it turns out they do not supply breakfast so I was almost robbed. The stay was lovely bar the people staying upstairs that sounded like a herd of elephants and went to the toilet every 20 minutes till nearly 3am so all you could hear was bang, bang, bang, flush all night. I like that there is no curfew and we were able to have late night out Friday but we made the effort to be as quiet as possible unlike others staying there slamming doors and stomping up and down the stairs. Id likely stay again but maybe not on a weekend if I'm going to lose so much sleep

My room was spotless tastefully decorated with everything I needed I slept so well I left later than intended. Would definitely recommend staying, I’ll definitely stay again.

Fabulous stay

We really enjoyed our two night stay at the Elmswood. The rooms were very clean, freshly decorated and the furnishings were lovely. It was like staying at the Ritz. Nisha, the owner, was lovely, friendly and very welcoming. She even helped us with our suitcases and upgraded one of our rooms, which was great. It was like a home from home. Breakfast was really nice too. We will definitely be staying here again and highly recommend it. It’s the best guest house we’ve ever stayed in.

Disappointed

Would have scored much more for this property has it not been for the fact the room was not serviced during our stay. I have only had to make my own bed once in any hotel I have stayed in and this was due to the fob being left at \"do not disturb\" by mistake. Very surprising and very disappointing.

Small room but nice and cozy if travelling alone. Location was great as only a few minuets walk from a wide range of shops, food places and bars also metro station nearby for travel in Newcastle. I will certainly stay here again as loved every aspect of my stay. Only downside would have been nice to get a more personal welcome from the owners making check in less cold and more inviting but still wouldn't put me off coming back.

Firstly, the email address is my husband's and the booking was made for me (Mary) and my friend (Melanie) to stay at Elmswood Guest House, as we were going to see the Cabytu Brothers' concert in the Wolf & Clover, which is very nearby. We stayed at Elmswood a couple of years ago and liked it so much that we booked again. It's lovely, spotlessly clean accommodation and an excellent breakfast. Nisha, the landlady is so lovely and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Got email on day I was checking in to tell me about access using keysafe. That was fair enough but email mentioned that breakfast is served 8 to 8:30, which is too late for me (I had to leave by 7:30). I tried phoning the number given but got no answer and nobody called me back so I just had to do without breakfast, although it was 'included in the price'.
