• Cameron (10/5): -

• Christine (10/5): - Propert was lovely and clean, bed was super comfortable. Stayed here 3 nights. Brilliant location. Breakfast was lovely and such a lovely owner.
• Amanda (5/5): Recent Visit - The location was ok for us . Bed was very flimsy, slats kept coming off. Owner was accommodating but yet a bit full on and kind of strange, maybe needs toning down a fraction. The room was clean and tidy and breakfast offered was a bonus!
• Ian (10/5): - I liked the location n the breakfast was very good
• Alan (9/5): Lovely, friendly B&B - Lovely little bed & breakfast. Was greeted and shown to the room i booked which was non en-suite. Whilst being shown other facilities we fe offered a free upgrade to an en-suite. Both rooms were immaculate, warm and comfortable. My partner and I had a very good sleep. In the morning, we were provided with an English breakfast with options of tea, coffee and fruit juice. There were various cereal options too. This b&b is a hidden gem and is close to the town hall and the town centre. I would definitely return. Nothing bad to say at all.

• Louise (10/5): - Lovely hotel, run by 2 lovely gentleman. I had a really nice stay, I was very welcomed and treated very highly, even had my bags carried for me 🤗. The breakfast was delicious, great options of cereals and drinks on offer. I had a huge bedroom on the top floor. Nice and quiet with it's own fridge. The bed linen was sooooooo soft and comfortable. Just before leaving I was shown the newly decorated en suite room, beautiful. Price was fantastic, hotel in a great location, not far from the beach. Can't wait to return.

• francis (6/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): Great overnight stay in a lovely little B&B - Location is great as we were there for a wedding and it’s almost opposite the town hall ! The bedroom was lovely and spacious with a great sized seperate bathroom with towels and toiletries ….room was boiling so had to turn the radiator down 😂 Duncan and Geoff were great and made us feel really welcome , breakfast was piping hot and cooked fresh . If we ever need to stay over night in south sheilds would definitely stay here again x Nothing
• Stephen (8/5): -
• Dennis (8/5): -
• A. Bijlsma (8/5): - As everyone mentioed here: Duncan made visiting his B&B a true pleasure. We hadden a late checkin which was niet problem and offered us a choice of rooms. The breakfast was typically British which we're not used to, but we knew this in advance and happily tried the beans and sausage. Just don't expect fruit or yoghurt ;) One thing which was very noticeable: it was all very clean! It would be nice if Duncan improves the lighting to make the rooms a bit cosier. Also, if you're a light sleeper: Ask for a room in the back as the B&B is on a busy road.
• Lynn (9/5): Great value - Really great staff Great pressure in shower Made me a vegetarian breakfast
• campbell (9/5): If you are looking for traditional NE hospitality in a value for money clean place with a great welc - Welcoming host with great local knowledge of local places to eat. Room clean and quiet for a great nights sleep. Breakfast all that everyone else had said cooked fresh with great ingredients
• Jibu (10/5): -
• Rob (10/5): -
• Desmond (7/5): An enjoyable stay with a good host and great location - A fabulous breakfast and a great host. A great location for the GNR but obviously everywhere you stay is expensive because of this. Road noise being on the front of the house was loud and being older having no en-suite toilet !
• Geraldine (9/5): Would stay again .. great - Running Gnr ideal location near to metro . Friendly host .. clean .. great breakfast . Nothing too much trouble Nothing
• Laura (10/5): Perfect b&b, it’s got everything you need. South Shields beach is beautiful. - Great location for a little mini break to the coast and local cities. The accommodation is really nice, clean and was more than adequate for our needs (a large room with some cooking facilities, a kitchen sink and a bathroom sink in addition to the expected bedroom furniture). It was a shared bathroom, but there were two large bathrooms, very clean, great shower. We didn’t have any issues with sharing and didn’t need to wait for other guests to be finished at any point. The owner is lovely, very friendly, gave us some great information about the local area and the best way to get around. Breakfast was lovely, cereal, toast, cooked breakfast etc. It was fantastic value for money, we’d recommend it and we will definitely return again, thank you! We liked everything.
• Daniel (10/5): Very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you. - The breakfast was lovely. Very accomodating host with a passion for customer service! It would be good to have a private bathroom but it was not an issue when we stayed as it was a quiet night.
• Dinu (9/5): - Everything is perfect Good
• Neeta (10/5): -
• Loseby (10/5): A must stay - We were in room 10 at the back of the house, and it was very private. We also were able to use the garden area, which was fabulous. The staff were amazing, helpful and very friendly. Breakfast was included, and it was one of the best I've ever tasted freshly cooked. We will be going back very soon
• Jodie (10/5): - Fab location, very friendly staff, lovely breakfast and clean, comfortable rooms. Nothing
• Rob (9/5): Superb -
• Mel (10/5): Friendly and welcoming - Friendly welcoming and extremely helpful. There was nothing we didn't like.
• Andrea (10/5): Great value and location - Great central location, comfy bed, great shower and good breakfast Nothing, all good
• Stephanie (8/5): Very good -
• Bryan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicola (9/5): Just what we needed- great value - Lovely host! Easy to find location. Room was clean and tidy with all the amenities you would want (tea/ coffee/ TV/ hanging space/ fan). Excellent power shower! Handy that we were given a cot free of charge. The home cooked breakfast was also delicious with plenty of toast and cereals alongside if you like. Just unfortunate that it’s situated on a fairly busy road, so you get traffic noise- more if you have the windows open though. Easy to find parking on side streets though nearby.
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• garywilliams768 (10/5): Best little b&b in South shields - Best little b&b in Shields fact... Duncan is the main man,chief cook and bottle washer.Customer service skills suited to a 5 star hotel,accommodating,approachable,friendly great cook. Is there an end to this man's talents,I think not. The room had two beds one single one double,miss match furniture,a kitchenette inc sink,microwave, hob and fridge along with wash hand basin a d mirror,towels supplied.(1st floor for wc's and showers).The room was clean and homely,like staying over at a friend's house. Breakfast included and boy what a breakfast,full English,endless coffee,toast continental Inc fruit juice. Would never go by this hotel ,best price and so close to all amenities. Duncan I thank you again u r the star of the show see u soon x
• Yvette (9/5): Superb - Great location, great comfortable room, fab host and lovely breakfast.
• Sarah (8/5): Great value for money and place to stay near the centre! - A short walk to the centre to the town. They served free breakfast, and the staff was pleasant. Really can't complain for the price! The room was very hot, so we had to open the window, although at night we couldn't keep it open as it was next to the road. Could have done with a fan.
• Peter (9/5): Superb -

• Rose (7/5): Great stay - Room was large and clean. Beds very comfortable. Breakfast was great. With more food offered if required. Duncan was helpful and made us very welcome. The room was facing a very busy road. Traffic noise all night. Clock tower nearby chiming every hour. Even through the whole night. Theres nothing Duncan can do about this. Due to location of building. So no reflection on him or the lodgings.

• Ian (9/5): Very comfortable stay in the middle of South Shields - In centre of South Shields, close to the magnificent town hall, and within walking distance of the Metro terminus. We had a large en-suite room, very comfortable and immaculately decorated. Wifi worked. Owner was very friendly and chatty. Breakfast was fine, my partner got porridge by special request. Variety of restaurants nearby for evening meals. No fresh fruit at breakfast.
• George (10/5): Amazing room and breakfast - we'll be back - Big spacious room, high ceilings and really airy. Host was fantastic, welcoming and clear in his instructions about the room and front door Church bells from church opposite going off every hour but we did have our windows open and I suppose there's nothing the owner can do about that
