In the most unusual pub location in the North East and one of a few in the UK, Grotto is set inside caves in the cliffs overlooking Marsden Bay. Access is via a lift or by an external staircase on the cliff face. A third option is from the beach ( tides !)
The caves were blasted in 1782 and the Grotto even has its own entry on Wikipedia. The history of the place can also be read on the pub website.
There is a bar ,a restaurant and bedrooms all within the cliff caves. There is also a terrace overlooking the beach
