巴克沃思亞歷山大公寓(Backworth - Alexander Apartments)

Clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Good location. Will return if in the area again.

The village of Backworth is lovely - very easy to access places including Whitley Bay and the coast. The 'Luxury Apar**ent' is actually an ex-council house. Good things: It was clean; Good wifi connection; Good tv; Reasonably priced. Poor things: No light bulbs in hallway or living room; Hard flooring so easy to keep clean but no sweeping brush so couldn't; Kitchen - no table despite plenty of room for one, but 2 chairs. Half of kitchen ceiling missing and it leaked from the bathroom; Crockery - 3 glasses, 3 (dirty) mugs, 5 dinner plates, 2 side plates, 6 bowls - overall inadequate; Cutlery - enough for 5 people only; No frying pan or sharp knives; Sitting room - the corner sofa is the only sitting space - could squeeze 4 on there if you wanted to be cosy; Don't be fooled by photos, 1 hand towel between 5 people (!); Beds - double in front bedroom made up (headboard hanging off), double and single bed in back bedroom made up, 1 single in box room not made up and no bedding) - inadequate for family of 2 adults and 3 children; Garden like a nuclear wasteland and advertised garden furniture was a rusty table.
