the room was so cramped, I struggled to breathe, and the shower was an ordeal—I mean, who enjoys scalding hot water one second and ice-cold the next? for that price, I expected at least a complimentary bottle of water, or maybe even a warm welcome, but instead, I got shortchanged. almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

The double room offered a decent private bathroom with a good mirror, which helped despite some other shortcomings. That's about all the highlight there is.

The shower experience was abysmal. it took ages for hot water to arrive, fluctuated between extreme temperatures, and the flow was inconsistent. Two flights of stairs led to the room— the second set particularly steep and narrow, making it dangerous to descend, especially with luggage. Plug socket availability was another pain point. just a couple available, and one hidden behind the bed, requiring an extension cord for better access.

Hosts were welcoming, room cozy with kettle and plenty of tea. Mattress felt worn out, impacting sleep quality.

Proximity to Seaton Carew beach, Access to halal dining options nearby, Trust-based communal facilities

The room size felt claustrophobic!!! Limited plug sockets made it a hassle to charge devices!!! A severe lack of soundproofing made my stay less than peaceful!!! The steep steps to rooms are simply not ideal for anyone with mobility issues!!!

ideal for open water lovers with lovely hosts who provide abundant tea and coffee sachets

The room was pristine and cosy, complete with kettle and plentiful tea/coffee. A lovely stroll to the nearby sea view really enhanced our experience!

I had a mighty time stayin' here! The location's grand, just a stone's throw from the sea, and the hosts were lovely, always wearin' a smile. The brekkie was good, especially their full English! Just wish the mattress had a bit more life in it!

a cozy stay with a delightful sea view just steps away.

friendly atmosphere, excellent amenities

small room

The location is fantastic with shops close by and a lovely beach just minutes away. The hosts were genuinely friendly and attentive, making our family stay enjoyable.

The shower experience was somewhat inconsistent, fluctuating in temperature.

i was really pleased with my stay at the aarondale. the twin room was clean and cosy, with all the tea and coffee provisions I could ask for. it exceeded my expectations for a longer visit, being just a few minutes from the beach and shops.

shower temperature fluctuated too much.

The location is superb, with a lovely sea view just a 3-minute walk away. The hosts are welcoming, and we felt very comfortable in our Twin Room with plenty of amenities like tea/coffee making facilities. The room was cozy with central heating, good toiletries, and clean towels. Parking is available, and all shops and restaurants are within walking distance.

The room was a bit small.

It was just an excellent fit for an overnight stay in Hartlepool with good value. The shower had good pressure during my stay, which made for a refreshing experience. Make sure to check the plug socket locations before unpacking your things.
