Tynemouth offers a coast break with two quite different ways to stay: a room at the Castle Inn or self-catering at Longsands Lodge. A seafront walk can fill the first afternoon, while the priory and castle provide a separate on-lead outing. Treat sand time as a seasonal bonus, checking the signed beach zones rather than assuming every stretch is open to dogs.

Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
The Castle Inn offers allocated dog rooms at £15 nightly for up to two dogs, including some terrace rooms with outdoor access. Longsands Lodge is a self-catering property with a £20 per-dog charge whose period needs confirming. Choose the inn for an arranged pub meal or the lodge if cooking together suits your trip better.
