Guest Reviews

• David (1/5): They did not answer the door, preventing me from checking in but they charged me anyway - Nothing, they did not allow me to check in They did not answer the door in a reasonable time and while they acknowledged that I turned up at the correct time, they said they were "not in the habit of chasing guests"
• Ronnie (8/5): -
• Andy (9/5): Nice little guesthouse for the money. - Was clean tidy and well presented. The owners were friendly and very helpful. We found the mattress to be a little too firm. But other than that no problems.

• Ciaran (10/5): -
• Lynne (10/5): - Nice warm welcome from the host who was very helpful . Clean, cosy room with little extras. Room possibly above dining area so slightly noisy in the morning (but I am a very light sleeper)
• Gregg (10/5): Excellent - Friendly welcoming staff excellent value for money
• Sophie (9/5): Lovely stay, would recommend! - Lovely guest house ran by lovely people! The baked beans 🤣 just not my favourite brand
• michael (9/5): - Paul the host was great . Room was spacious and bed was comfortable . Breakfast was excellent . Would definitely stay again. The weather but can't blame Paul for that I suppose 🤔🤣.

• Heather (1/5): Waste of time - Got there, was overbooked and no rooms. Blamed booking.com but obviously sold direct and forgot to remove availability from site. Caused a big panic and anxiety.
• Paul (10/5): Good stuff - Friendly. Really good location. Excellent breakfast. Really good value for money.
• Richard (10/5): Great! Would recommend. - I was there for 9 days, visiting a friend and did some work in the room too. Nice and quiet, I forgot about breakfast so didn't have any. Room was good and comfy. I've got nothing.
• Will (9/5): Great location, great room, friendly staff - Very clean room, you get a lot for the price you pay too, especially considered I'd booked quite late. Great welcome when you come in, the owners seem really nice. N/A
• Denise (7/5): Good location and clean guest house - Nice rooms and good breakfast Broken shower in room but we were moved 2nd day. Beds are very small doubles. Owner has an adult son living there who is very rude to guests.

• Judith (10/5): -

Robes & slippers in room were a bonus. Really excellent breakfast. Double bed wasn’t the must comfortable, would recommend the owners upgrade to a new super king or king size bed.
• Judith (10/5): -

• Steven (10/5): -
• Sue (10/5): Very clean comfortable - The property was so homely, very clean and comfy
• Steve (10/5): -
• Donovan (8/5): Paul was a great host and house was clean. - Breakfast was very good, the bed was ok, we are used to king size. The host was very welcoming. The bed side lights were a bit dull, we both read so a bit awkward. We were on the 2nd floor so a bit difficult for my wife who has a disability, GNR weekend so lucky to get a room at all.
• JUNKAI (10/5): -
• Phil (10/5): Great stay - Made most welcome, everything clearly explained on arrival to room Most comfortable bed Warm shower and easy to use Breakfast was fresh and excellent. Fresh coffee
• Thunderpunk (8/5): - Peaceful, comfy and good location No view but you are 2 mins from park and beach so still good for a base and to sleep!
• Matthias (9/5): - We enjoyed the breakfast chats with Paul and the other hotel guests. The UNESCO world heritage site, Arbeia Roman fort is right around the corner. It was very informative and interesting. The explanations made me use all of my senses.
• Paul (10/5): Great value, well sized and well located accommodation - Well located for the high street in South Shields and for travelling into Newcastle with a very welcoming and helpful host. Great sized accommodation, very clean with good shower room, TV, WiFi, nice beds and well decorated. Easy enough to park for free nearby. Great value and highly recommended. Nothing to add.
• Duncan (8/5): - Clean comfortable The curtain over the window was pathetic. Sliding doors to bathroom unsatisfactory.
• Kirsty (10/5): Comfortable solo one night stay. - I stayed in a single room with an en-suite shower room. The room had a double bed and the room was larger than I expected. It was very comfortable and also had a fan as the weather was hot. The room came with a dressing gown and slippers and plenty of clothes hangers. The location is really good and the street is quiet so I slept well. There is also plenty of free parking outside. Paul was very friendly and helpful. His cooked breakfast was one of the best I have had. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Nothing - all good!
• Brian (8/5): - Smooth cheque. Customised breakfast. Helpful staff. I accidentally left an article in the room, staff held onto it securely and would have posted it back but I got someone to collect it Nothing
• Andrew (9/5): Thanks Sally I am grateful - Safe, friendly, warm and conveniently located Leaving
• Michelle (10/5): - Nice hosts. Good breakfast. Enjoyed surrounding area.
• Martin M (10/5): Very good stay and location - Nice and quiet and very close to city center, ferry , train/busstation, Bent' amusements park, and river Tyne and the sea. Nothing to dislike
• Winn (10/5): -
• Terry (10/5): Georgian history back in time - I think the property was a georgian property 🤔🫠🙂 built in the 1900's. A couple from the south west moved up here nearly 10 years ago. I am very impressed! The hilly streets of South Shields can be a put off for disabled people . If you have a car that's fine. On foot from the city centre can be overbearing...
• Alison (8/5): Lovely host, good accommodation - Friendly host, good location and breakfast, comfortable beds. Bit of a dog smell in hallway, dog poop on front lawn.
• Gemma (10/5): -
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional - It was a good accommodation, and the owner was very helpful. Near the sea, quiet, many places to dine.
• Marc (8/5): Very good -
• Glen (8/5): Comfortable stay with a real family feel. - The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff (Paul) was great and lovely to meet his granddaughter. The shower was tight and the breakfast was just OK. I was expecting better.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christine (7/5): Good -
• Marty (10/5): Exceptional - Nice little room with everything needed for a short stay. Bed was really comfy. Location is great, just a couple of minutes walk from Ocean Road, but far enough out of town to be very quiet. Free parking on street was a bonus. Breakfast was plentiful and very nice, I had the obligatory full English and freshly brewed coffee. More than enough to soak up the previous day's excesses! Shower was maybe a little tight, but that's only because I'm 6ft+. For the price paid, nothing at all to grumble about. For 60 quid including brekky, nothing at all not to like!
• Martin (9/5): Superb -
• Bert (9/5): Great value for money, in a surprisingly pleasant area - Didn’t have breakfast (through choice). But copious self-service tea, coffee, biscuits in room. Good shower. Excellent value for money. Seagulls were noisy in early morning. Address difficult to find first time: one half of street appears to have a different name, both on street signs and on maps. Neither of these is the fault of the Kingsmere!
• Alec (9/5): Above average b&b, perfect location, great breakfast - Location, near sea front, clean and well maintained, great breakfast, friendly host Nothing
• Tina (9/5): Excellent value for money in a great location - Excellent location Spacious well equipped room Dressing gowns were a lovely bonus Very quiet On street parking Non-intrusive owners Excellent VFM Nothing
• Karl (10/5): Exceptional - Room was lovely and clean staff very pleasant
• Marcus (8/5): Spot on! - Lovely old guest house, friendly owner. Loved it. Nothing.
• Miles (9/5): So welcoming, great breakfast - Owner is so welcoming and accommodating, the breakfast is excellent and the facilities ideal. No herbal tea!
• Spike (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (8/5): Very good -
• Brian (10/5): Excellent good value stay - Excellent well equipped room. Really helpful people stowed my bike in the garage. One of the best breakfasts I have had. Nothing.
• Simon (8/5): Very good - Comfortable and conveniently located
• Tim (10/5): Highly recommended - We stayed for 5 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Sally and Paul were perfect hosts, friendly and chatty. The room was clean and well equipped. The location was great, not too far from the centre or the attractions but nice and quiet. Only had breakfast once but it was delicious. Everything was clean and we had all we needed. Definitely will be booking again when we can
• Chris (10/5): Lovely stopover at a lovely guest house - This is a really lovely place within easy walking distance of the beach and the town centre. great host, good breakfast and highly recommended very minor issue with sliding door that maybe just needs slightly better guide rails
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Super breakfast, friendly host. Aok
• Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laurie (8/5): Tiring, because their is much to do and see in the area. - Didn't have their breakfast. No it was all fine.
• Phil (9/5): Superb - Welcoming as always. Breakfast is superb! A place so good we've been 3 times! 😊 Bathroom a little cramped, but perfectly functional.
• Ulrike (8/5): Very good - All fine.
• Alan (10/5): Fab stay - Excellent host, Fantastic guest house. Room was very clean,a good size and the bed comfy. Breakfast was amazing. Brilliant stay. Nothing
• Ian (5/5): Passable -
• Christopher (6/5): Pleasant -
• Dee (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely homely B&B and friendly host. A really great breakfast too! Nothing
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - Great value, modern and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Room very well equipped with mini fridge, fan, and even bathrobes. Spotlessly clean. The decor in our room could have done with a pop of colour, but it was still very nice.
• Anthony (10/5): - For the most part this is a truly excellent family run guest house and I can definitely recommend this spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and well appointed place to stay in the quiet residential area of the town. The house is located midway between the town centre with its public transport interchange and the seafront with its attraction and beach both are about 10 to 15 minute walk away.
• Nicholas (8/5): Very good -
• George (8/5): Very good -
• Joanna (8/5): Very good - The breakfast was amazing!! A tick list to choose what you wanted!! Red hot and cooked perfectly!! A king size bed and a proper door on the en suite rather than a sliding door.
• Goran (8/5): Very good - Ok for the price
• Macdonald (6/5): Cheap for a couple of nights stay - Negatives: Lots of cobwebs around ceiling. Tiny drink fridge was dirty inside. Bed had plywood board under mattress which banged every time I moved. Shower was scalding hot or freezing cold with very little power. Room was cold and heater on timer which was running an hour behind GMT and could not be overridden. Positives: bedding and towels good quality and clean.
• Anthony (10/5): Ticked every box for me - Great Location close to beach , parks , shops . The room , bed, tea & coffee facilities and breakfast provided were very good and the host was friendly. It’s an ideal place to stay in my opinion and was excellent value for money given the cost of staying anywhere these days. Totally recommend 👍 Nothing
• Jason (4/5): I think overpriced for what you get and quite dated. - Had assumed an en-suite and not an inconvenience of a bathroom across the hall??? Barking dog was a pain.
• Angus (9/5): Great place to stay, i would visit again. - Nice room, comfy bed, clean place with friendly owner. All was good.
• Graeme (9/5): Superb - Great host, nice room, great breakfast.
• Jon (10/5): - Great
