Company info

Our philosophy The traditional concept of a Guest House which has become tedious, clichéd and predictable needed to be revisited. In an era of constantly expanding large corporate brands, there is an increasing demand for individuality, originality and perhaps most important of all, intelligence. Here at the Metropolitan it is all about simplicity and relaxation. Our linens, bathrooms and food are of the best quality, while the property itself retains the elegant informality of a fine home, rather than a Typical guest House. Public rooms are designed for use and enjoyment. We create thoughtful, original ideas by being aware of you the guest and above all question – who is this for and what do they want? We believe we are only as good as our last review. A BIG GEORDIE WELCOME AWAITS YOU IN THE NORTH EAST

Property info

The Metropolitan Bed and Breakfast re-opened in July 2019 and prides itself on cleanliness, comfort and customer service. We provide boutique styled en-suite accommodation , Situated on the quiet street of Esplanade, an area of Whitley Bay, only a few hundred metres away from the award-winning beach, and a very short walk in to the town centre where you will find bars, restaurants and the Whitley Bay Spanish City.
