The place is absolutely wonderful, very close to the centre. It has a great atmosphere. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, we felt like at home. The breakfasts were also fantastic. We enjoyed the stay enormously.

Was a bit dubious when I booked as it seemed such a cheap price... but was actually a really great place. Parking outside, big room with lovely modern bathroom and really close to the beach and cafes.

I stayed at The Eagle in Gateshead for four nights and couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and were consistently helpful throughout my stay — nothing was ever too much trouble. The room and facilities were spotlessly clean, which made the whole experience incredibly comfortable. It’s clear the team takes real pride in maintaining high standards. Everything was well-organised, tidy, and fresh. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with genuinely helpful and friendly staff, I’d absolutely recommend The Eagle. I’d happily stay again!
