About this place The Lemonfield Hotel

The Lemonfield Hotel is a small independent hotel on Sea Lane in Whitburn, a seaside village between Sunderland and South Shields. It has a bar and a carvery restaurant that draws locals as well as guests. The Whitburn coastal path and beaches are a short walk away. It is a mainstream gay-friendly hotel, not a gay hotel. It has a 4.8 rating from about 280 Google reviews. It suits a quiet coastal stay rather than a night out. Sunderland city centre is a short drive or bus ride south, and Newcastle's gay scene is about 30 minutes away. Phone: 0191 529 3018.

This hotel is ideal for vacation close to beach and bars, restaurants . The staff and management are very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the gold room which was very spacious and comfortable good value for money . Will definitely be back .

A very helpful owner got me checked in quickly-a very high standard of cleaning in the rooms and other areas- as a large group we had five bedrooms in all - at very low price-with parking and location overlooking the sea and a park . Very happy would recommend- continental breakfast was very large and good choice of items.

Great little spot for a short stay by the sea! Friendly and welcoming staff, clean room, comfy beds and excellent location. Check in and out was easy, on site parking much appreciated and we slept surprisingly well - would visit again :)

Wonderful place to stay. Quaint and lovely. Clean rooms and comfortable. Although the property seems a little dated, the rooms are comfortable and well thought out. Very close to the coast. Free parking which is a bonus! All-in-all, great stay! Would recommend.

Great location for one night. Close to the beach and promenade. The photos are beautiful, so my expectations were slightly higher than they actually were. However, that doesn't change the fact that these rooms are excellent for the price. We received a very warm welcome. We arrived very early because of the football match, but that wasn't a problem.
