Souter Point Lighthouse was erected to help sailors navigate through rough waters. Still an important local landmark today, it's bound to have a few stories to tell about sailing triumphs and rescues.

This longstanding beacon is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Sunderland. But Souter Point Lighthouse isn't the area's only highlight. Tynemouth Aquarium, Stadium of Light, and Sunderland Empire are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.

8/10 Very Good! (27 reviews)

On arrival it became clear that the apartment we stayed in wasn’t the one in the photos that I thought I had booked. The ad is a mix of different apartments with only a couple of them the one we were allocated which wasn’t to the standard I was expecting which was a shame as we’re celebrating an 18th birthday The 2 bathrooms transpired to be a communal area with 3 showers and 2 of the tiniest toilets ever Apartment was cold and we ended up lighting the gas burners and oven to get the room warm There were endless corridors to navigate which didn’t help with the heat issue The area was very rough with litter everywhere outside On a positive the towels and sheets were spotless with early check in and Kate check out

Great location, affordable apartment for a large group. Metro link directly outside the door to connect you to Newcastle. Apartment in great condition and would recommend this place. Check in was difficult as you need to communicate with host over phone to retrieve the code to access the key but apart from that it was great. Security deposit usually scares me from booking with places as i have been scammed before but rest assured there is no scamming here, with the host very kind when spoke on the phone.

8.6/10 Excellent! (573 reviews)

A lovely stay. Staff were friendly and receptionist was very helpful and polite. Nice upgrade during our stay made it even more enjoyable. Room was abit dated with a few niggles that need to be updated but that did not affect our stay. Breakfast was buffet but we only realised on our last day that we could request how we wanted our eggs. Would be useful for staff to advise when seating. I would recommend staying here but note it is in a student area and bar is used by students however this was fine for us but may not be for those who prefer a quiet early night.
