Altonlea Lodge

Having stayed before it was a pleasure to stayed again. The most welcoming guest house ever. Nothing is too much trouble. The room was large and the bed the best ever with the most sumptuous pillows and duvet for a great nights sleep. Lovely fluffy white towels and everywhere spotlessly clean. We overlooked the garden which is lovely with a covered seating area to have a glass of wine ever in the rain! Lee cooks an amazing breakfast to perfection, but there is also a selection of cereals, juices fruit, jams etc. so you will never be hungry. The beach is just across the road and a nice walk along the sea front. A well deserved 5* rating. Would highly recommend staying here.

Very clean, spacious and comfortable rooms. We loved that there is a separate kitchen with a fridge, microwave, plates, cutlery and a table where guests can eat a takeaway or cook their own food. A very good idea. The family are very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The garden is beautiful and a lovely place to chill when the sun's out. Plenty of parking spaces out the back and also permits if you want to park out front. Lots of choice at breakfast, cereals, fruit and juice along with a cooked breakfast. We had the cooked breakfast which was great apart from the sausages which weren't to our liking (akin to Richmond's). This was the reasons for the 4 stars plus we had two knocks on the door one morning as they were carrying out PAT testing. I appreciate this has to be done but maybe provide do not disturb signs for the door. Also when the testing was being carried out in the building our lights went out whilst in the shower. They were very apologetic, however this could've been better organised. Would definitely recommend though.

Great place to stay well worth the five stars given. The rooms are very spaious with an on suite bathroom which is kept in tip top condition, the bed was very comfortable the pillow where lovely very supportive The grounds are beautiful with plenty of seating. The staff are very attentive lovely people and the breakfast is superb made to order as you sit by Lee. We will be returning for a 3rd time very pleasant stay there.

From the moment you arrive, you’re treated like family; all the staff are so friendly, welcoming and respond to queries and requests extremely promptly. We stayed in Room 12 which was comfortable, spacious and had generous tea/coffee/hot chocolate making facilities in the room. The beds were soft and enveloped you in comfort. Functional bathroom with ample hot water and huge towels. The location of the property is great, 2 mins from the seafront, close to bus routes into town. Parking available outside the property and on the premises. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance and nearby supermarkets. Outstanding cooked breakfast with the best scrambled eggs ever! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will return in the future.

The place is a little hidden gem we have stayed here several times and never been disappointed. The full English breakfast is one of the best I have had anywhere and always the same standard each stay. Even my requests to have Blueberries available was listened to and made avaialble. Nothing too much trouble. We stayed in room 6 this time which was perfect for us on the ground floor, with great sleep quality bed and feather pillows. Excellent position for the seafront too and great beach. Definitely my favourite place to stay in Hartlepool.

First choice to stay when visiting family, excellent service and good food selection for breakfast to see you through the day. Rooms very clean and comfortable with complementary condiments, owners very friendly even helping to carry your luggage very reasonably priced. Highly recommended every time.

Excellent stay - comfortable pillows, beds, towels. Spotlessly clean. Great value for money. The breakfast is lovely with a range of options. Four of us visited to celebrate Mum’s 93rd birthday. Realising I was unable to hire a wheelchair for the weekend, Sheila borrowed one from her family and Lee decorated it with birthday paper - it made a real difference to our weekend - it was so kind. The staff could not do enough for the guests. The house is just across the road from the beach - it is a lovely, quiet seaside town.

Another excellent stay for my visit to see relatives. Owners are very friendly, rooms have all requirements and the breakfast is fantastic. I would and do recommend this guest house without fail. I will certainly be back for my next visit to Hartlepool

Rooms excellent. Really clean nothing too much trouble. All staff incredibly friendly. Having the use of a fridge and microwave is very useful. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Parking very easy and secure. Overall best place we've stayed in a long time.
