Host & Stay | Peacock House — Guest Reviews

WOW! This place looks even better than the pictures and hits all the high notes. It's a wonderful open space that's perfect for a relaxed, sociable couple, who appreciate a unique modern style. The host is never to busy to answer your endless questions, which is massively appreciated. Warm log fires, oodles of natural light, and it couldn't be more central with just a 3 minutes walk to the market - one of the best markets I've been to in a while.Never underestimate the power of eclectic art, and well selected luxury furnishing to make you feel extra special. Riley's Fish shack is also a credit to the town - a standout place in more ways than one. I rarely have the same escape twice, but I'll be returning to stay right here, and do the very same thing again and again. This place is unique, and for all the right reasons!

Luxury accommodation in perfect location for visiting Newcastle and Tynemouth. Positive: Beautiful property in amazing location Negative: Nothing

Positive: Relaxing, comfortable, and well maintained. A little bit of luxury, with lots of character! Negative: Nothing to add here!

Beautiful home, great location, parking permit, excellent. Positive: Great location and very opulent Negative: An extra bedroom would have been perfect but all good

Positive: Spacious and attractive apartment. Good location for catching up with family and friends in the area.

A beautiful property that the owners have worked very hard on to decorate and furnish in style. We visit family and friends regularly and Peacock House will definitely be our first choice in future. Very comfortable bed and responsive heating system. There are a number of steps but my wife who normally needs a break after 250 yards of walking managed albeit slowly. Despite being on the route to the Metro and at a weekend we didn't experience any undue noise and the location of the property within walking distance of the sea, bars and restaurants in Tynemouth makes it ideal. Good information provided prior to arrival and the parking permit makes a real difference although try and avoid the spot directly opposite the property under the tree that a seagull with a problem chooses to rest in overnight!!!

Great place to stay. Positive: Excellent location in Tynemouth for bars, beaches and Metro. Plenty of room for 2 people to have a relaxed stay. Well equipped. Negative: Be aware there's lots of stairs.

Great location for babymoon Positive: Beautiful property in a great location, will definitely be back. Able to walk to all local amenities and the parking permit is very handy. Also easy to access by train. Negative: Only one roll of toilet paper provided

My wife and I were travelling up for a friend’s wedding and headed up to Tynemouth where the groom is from. We had an amazing time celebrating over the weekend and were so lucky to head back to Peacock House each evening to rest and relax. We absolutely loved the house and could not recommend it enough for any couple staying for whatever occasion. We will be heading back to Tynemouth on holiday and when we do go, we’ll be staying here again. Thanks go to Charlie for excellent communication and helpful instructions

It did the job but I wouldn’t hurry back. Positive: Great location. Well appointed kitchen and very spacious lounge and dining areas. Nice space to have Christmas in, once I had sourced some sofa throws and cozied the place up a bit. Good Sonos music system. Negative: Bedroom pillows were flat and need replacing. Generally a bit style over substance with some DIY needed, eg, door handles came off in your hand on main door to hall and both handles on log burner doors. Sofas uncomfortable, TV really small for the room size and seating area. Dining room chairs too high to fit well beneath table. Also despite having booked it for 17 nights, was still made to pay £30 to check in 2 hours early!!!

A fabulous home from home in lovely Tynemouth Positive: We had a lovely stay at Peacock Hpuse - a really lovely home from home we hosted a lunch on the Saturday with friends in the wonderful well equipped kitchen at the huge kitchen table and popped over to the amazing market at Tynemouth market which was a few footsteps away. We would love to come again as apart from the fabulous standard of the accommodation, the location is perfect for proximity to Newcastle and the coast.

We had a nice stay at Peacock House. The living room is grand but not quite relaxing. Good location close to the metro and beaches. The bed was comfortable. The first few days were quiet. However, there is workshop beneath the property which disturbed us a couple of times in the mornings. It should be noted that there are a number of steps from front door to bedroom and then up to kitchen and living room. We were fine with this but others with mobility concerns ought to be made aware of this. We stayed for a week and felt it was rather shabby treatment that in addition to one bath towel each, only one face/hand towel was provided for both to use. A solitary loo roll was really quite mean we thought, and a second tea towel would have been useful.

Positive: Location, space Negative: Place seemed rather run down. Things falling apart or rickety. Stayed here 3 years ago and it seemed much nicer then. Table in living room rickety, lighting poor, some kitchen equipment poor..

Positive: Will stay again thanks

We’ll be back again for sure Positive: All of it , stunning Negative: Nothing

Stayed at the beautiful Peacock House whilst visiting Newcastle to drop our son off to Uni for the first time. The accommodation was amazing, just as described and we felt immediately at home and relaxed! Easy to get in and out of Newcastle and great to be within walking distance of the sea and great restaurants! Definately on my ‘must return’ list!!

Excellent location, clean and comfortable flat. Positive: Flat was clean and comfortable, very quirky decor. The location was absolutely brilliant, 2 minutes from the metro and the village centre. Shower was fab and the kitchen very clean and well equipped. Arrival was very straightforward with keys in keysafe and parking permit in the property. Negative: Nothing really, there are a lot of stairs so would not be suitable for people with mobility issues but fine for us.

Positive: We booked this venue the night before and of our wedding. The place was exceptional Myself (bride) and all my bridesmaids got ready here - it was spacious and beautifully decorated. We would absolutely book this place again. It's right on the high street, so it's a perfect location. Negative: Only 1 toilet roll was provided for 3 nights, and the property had 2 different toilets, which was slightly annoying when we first arrived.

Comfortable place to stay Positive: The location is excellent, near the Metro station and the town centre. The house was very quiet.

Great place to stay with easy access to roads and public transport- Metro is a minute away! Really comfortable and quirky house, perfect for a relaxing holiday by the sea.

Better than expected and a wonderful stay. Positive: The space, the light, the location, the decor - it was just a beautiful place, well equipped and comfortable. Negative: There was a creaky floorboard but I am clutching at straws here - it was wonderful, especially for the price.

Absolutely stunning apartment - a feast for the eyes. Very well appointed with everything we needed. The location is fantastic with shops, restaurants beach and coastal walks on the doorstep. Highly recommended.

Really lovely stay well located to the station and town centre

Would recommend Peacock House for comfort, location and something different. Positive: Peacock House was as advertised, very clean and comfortable. The location is great, walking distance to the beach, station, restaurants and shops. Negative: The stairs! Did not realise there were 4 flights. Whilst this is a small issue, people need to be aware if they have any mobility issues.

Beautiful home in a fantastic location. Could not recommend more.

This is a splendidly quirky and spacious apartment for two people. Everything we needed was provided. The place is comfortable and within a very easy walk to all that Tynemouth can offer. Would thoroughly recommend and would happily return.

Positive: All of it Negative: N/A

Fabulous stay, would be back in a heartbeat. Positive: Feeling of space, the lounge, kitchen and bedroom are all spacious. Location / proximity to Metro and Front street was amazing. Negative: Nothing

Positive: Beautiful spacious property, well equipped and right next to the metro station.We have stayed in lots of holiday lets in the area over the years due to visiting family and this is definitely the best in terms of location, value for money, space and presentation. Thank you for a wonderful stay! 🙂

Loved our stay at Peacock House. It’s perfectly located near the metro and 2 min walk into Tynemouth where there are plenty of restaurants, bars and coffee shops. A fab place to stay, like having your own home on the coast, lots of space to chill and a very comfy bed

Beautiful ,quirky house right in the middle of Tynemouth with a parking permit, no issues parking.

Would recommend this property to anyone. So much character and walking distance to town so perfect location. Was clean and bed was comfortable will be back in the future.

What a great place to stay!! Location was fantastic, the place itself was really neat and unique.

Positive: Perfect location as near to relatives.

Loved the bath, loved the big spaces perfect location and everything that we needed. Very clean and organised and safe and easy to get to and well located.

Positive: Fabulous accommodation in a great location Negative: Nothing

An excellent property, beautifully refurbished with parking. Positive: Location was excellent. Next door to Metro station, a short walk to bars and restaurants and the sea front. Negative: A little noise from the shop below.

This was one of the most beautiful apartments we've stayed in. The drawing room was extraordinary - it was like being in a miniature stately home! Kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom - especially the bath in the bedroom was a real treat as well.

highly recommend this gorgeous home. Amazing location, minutes walk from great cafes, restaurants and the beach. and what a beach! stunning monastery and ruins, well worth a visit. The house itself is just beautiful. Full of character, stunning art and spacious. Main oven and TV in the bedroom need fixing, but otherwise impeccable. would 100% stay here again.

comfortable, beautiful and perfectly located for an excellent stay! Positive: amazing location, beautifully decorated and well-equipped Negative: couldn’t find a pair of scissors

Really great stay. Been through before but first stay. Beautiful location and the accommodation had everything you could want, lots of room. Great hosts and very responsive.

Superb property in a superb town. Positive: This was our third stay in Peacock House. We love the style of the property and its location which is so close to the centre with its range of shops, bars and restaurants, and to the beautiful Victorian train station from which the trams now run. We will be back again to enjoy the coastal walks and the general vibe.

Beautiful property and couldn’t fault it. Would stay again.

Good stay, with a few more bits it would’ve been great. Positive: Great location, huge space, stylish and slightly quirky design. Negative: Would’ve been nice to have a few more utensils in the kitchen (peeler, masher etc), plus no cooking oil or logs for the fire, albeit there were firelighters and matches.

Great location, easy to walk to everywhere. Good there was parking.

peacock house is totally amazing, fantastic decor,superb fixtures and fittings.Totally amazed with everything.100% one of the best air bnb we've stayed in,highly recommended.

Lovely few days away. Peacock house was spacious and clean. Good location next to metro and to places to eat and drink series the beach.

Spacious place in central Tynemouth was easy to find and had a nice vibe.

Relaxing and convenient for a short break Positive: Location was perfect. Very near the metro and bus stops and a minutes walk to the lovely village and coast. Very good restaurants on the doorstep. Negative: A handrail down the stairs into the bathroom would be useful Absence of a tea towel

Short break in Tynemouth made even better by choosing to stay in Peacock House. Positive: Very spacious and clean. Centrally located in Tynemouth village close to a wide selection of bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Negative: Nothing

Enjoyable stay with restaurants, bars and beaches all within easy walking distance. Positive: Great location. Very good kitchen. Easy on street car parking (permit provided). Negative: For our taste the peacock theme was overdone.

Excellent apartment Positive: Stunning apartment. Enormous. Perfect location Negative: Was clean but could have been a bit better.

Beautifull Positive: Loved everything ! Peacock.House was exceptional in every way :) Negative: Nil

Great accommodation in central location Positive: Great standard of accommodation offered. Understand why the property is restricted to two adults as there are locked rooms for private areas of the flat for when owner visits. Multi level period property with decent kitchen including air fryer. Great location in Tynemouth, with resident parking readily available. Negative: Issue with kettle when we arrived and quickly resolved. Provide more than one toilet roll.

I loved the decor and the location. It was minutes walk to the town with lots of cafes and bars. Next to train station for easy travel. And also close to lovely beach. We loved it and will hopefully be back one day for another relaxing break.

One of the nicest AirBnB’s we have stayed at on our travels. Peaceful and private, would recommend to anybody visiting the area. We would without question rebook in the future!

Lovely house with all its quirky Positive: Ideal location, close to beach and relatives Negative: Only complaint was the hinges were broken on the bedroom door, making it a bit dangerous however was fixed second day of our stay.

Absolutely fabulous!

Positive: Beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. Very convenient location.

Excellent quirky flat across multiple floors. Great location next to the metro. Would recommend to anyone.

Positive: Everything Negative: Loved everything about it - would definitely stay again

wonderful stay, property was right by the market which was lovely to visit at the weekend. Property exceeded our expectations, immaculate and beautiful home. Peaceful and quiet stay in the beautiful Tynemouth

Stay was great , only downside was dealing with Host & Stay , appalling customer service. Positive: Great location , lovely flat Negative: Instructions for TV and audio equipment

A welcome return to Peacock House. A superb property and close to all local amenities. We love Northumberland and will definitely return again soon

Fantastic stay in a gorgeous property. Positive: This was our second visit to Peacock House. It is a superb property with quirky, characterful furnishings and decor all done to a very high spec. We also love the location right by the attractive Victorian train station with trams to Newcastle in one direction and Whitley Bay in the other, complete with brilliant bar, 'Platform 2' and excellent Italian restaurant, 'Devanti Classico' (literally a 2 minute walk from the property). Could also hardly be more convenient for the lovely town square and beaches/ coastal walks. We will definitely be going back to Peacock House again. Negative: Nothing

Lovely property, great location, additional small touches would have made it perfect! Positive: Beautiful property, really well equipped, and close to the centre of the town and all amenities Negative: Considering how incredibly well equipped the property was it would have been nice to have had some proper coffee for the cafetière, oil for cooking and logs for the wood burner! We also found the property was cold during the day, I realise it's not practical to keep it heated all day but instructions on how to turn the heating up if needed would have been appreciated!

Positive: Lovely, oppulant property. Comfortable and excellent location. Very comfy bed. Spacious living spaces. Original decor.

Absolutely gorgeous house, full of character We felt like we were in a 19th century period drama! The pictures don’t do it justice, they couldn’t as when you see it in person, it’s absolutely breathtaking, my favourite air b and b ever x

Excellent property well presented, quirky style and clean. Very enjoyable stay great coastal location with plenty of amenities. Only irritation to be informed week before stay that a £25 insurance premium or partially refundable deposit was required. It would have been nice if this had been made very clear at time of booking particularly when rental for property was quite high.

Second stay at a nice property in Tynemouth. Can't fault the location and decor. Please note the damage deposit which has been introduced since our first stay in 2022. You have to check under Additional Rules to find out the amount, as this wasn't communicated by message from the hosts until a few days before check-in.

Comfortable and spacious stay Positive: This is a lovely property very stylish and spacious, its very comfortable and clean Negative: Its a little expensive for the area

Peacock House is a great base to visit Tynemouth and surrounding area. Positive: The location was very central in a lovely area. The property was equipped to a high standard. Also, the bed was very comfortable. Having a parking permit was a big bonus. Negative: We can’t think of anything.

Beautiful place to stay in a perfect location to enjoy everything Tynemouth & the North East has to offer. We really enjoyed our stay

We had a lovely stay at Peacock House. It is big enough for four to share, but the other bedrooms are locked and not available. The lounge/dining room area are spacious and grand, rather than cosy and completely relaxed, due to the delicate furniture. Great location, quiet. Had to leave bedroom curtains closed, due to the building behind and people inside.

Lovely place and perfect location

Excellent accommodation -last minute deposit request unexpected and poorly handled. Positive: Accommodation was fantastic and well resourced. Everything inside really well maintained and felt care had been taken. Great space and decorated individually with some lovely touches. Location great with access to metro really close so could visit Newcastle . Lovely high street. Priory and fantastic beaches in easy walking distance. Part of the coast I'll definitely visit again. Negative: Think the hosts of property need to be aware of how the booking process works for customers as I didn't like fact that got an e-mail saying could cancel without any loss of money THEN 24 hours after ( and week before stay) another email saying had to pay £25 insurance or £250 ( then would get back £240 but processing wouldn't start till 7 days after leaving property) deposit to gain information about how to access. I phoned to say had own insurance in place and person on phone initially seemed not to understand then just repeated I had to pay their insurance before hanging up on me! Poor experience and left doubtful would get this money back. I did but took a fortnight so clearly someone making interest on it. A deposit is fine but needs to be clear and upfront in main booking process not last minute when other options are not available and some may struggle to access the £250 so have to pay the higher cost. A pity as would really like to recommend property to other people ( its superb) and stay again myself but won't while run under this company. It just felt like I was booking under a 'rogue company' particularly after phone experience.

Comfortable and stylish apartment in a central location. Positive: A well equipped and smart apartment. Ideal location for the amenities of Tynemouth. A lovely property.

Comfortable and clean accommodation in a quiet and convenient location. Positive: Well equipped and comfortable property in a quiet location . Near the shops and seafront. Negative: Didn’t mind paying a £25 damage waiver but this should be made clearer before you book.

Great place to stay. Spacious and quirky Loved the bedroom TV!

Absolutely gorgeous property, immaculate throughout, in a fantastic location, five minute walk to the beach, will definitely stay again. Thank you.

An exceptionally beautiful home in a great location. Positive: The property is beautifully presented all the way throughout. Negative: N/A

Exceptional property in a great location Positive: The property is absolutely stunning, we were blown away when we walked in.
