• Karen (10/5): The hosts were so friendly and helpful and made me feel so welcome and at ease. - It was very comfortable and clean. Everything you needed was provided in the rooms. A great location. N/A it was great
• Isobel (10/5): - Lorraine and Andrew were so lovely, very welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts were so delicious and the beds super comfy. Beds re-made everyday and tea bags etc restocked everyday in the room. We had a great stay and will be back!
• Tracy (9/5): -
• Penny (9/5): - Good location and value for money.

• Patrick (10/5): Very nice - Everything
• Raymond (10/5): A thoroughly enjoyable break made all the better by having such a lovely place to stay. - From the moment I arrived until the moment I left Lorraine couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. My room was always comfortable and spotlessly clean and the breakfast enough to keep me going all day. The location was perfect with a 400 metre walk to the coast and a similar walk to the town centre in the opposite direction. Between South Shore and the coast are lovely parks, a small theatre and a small leisure centre with swimming pool and gym. On the opposite side of the road there are a wide range of restaurants catering for many different types of cuisine. The Metro provides a fabulous link to Newcastle and the surrounding area. A thoroughly enjoyable break made all the better by having such a lovely place to stay. I hope to be back as soon as possible.

• Rebecca (10/5): Best B&B i have stayed in for a long time. - Had a lovely stay!. My hosts could not have been more friendly, helpful or accommodating. Nice spacious room, clean and comfortable. Good breakfast that was made to order. Great location, 2 minutes walk from parks, 5 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes to the centre of town. I would def book here again! To be honest, to say anything negative would be nit-picking and unfair.

• Iain (10/5): -
• Ian (9/5): An excellent guest house- I will definitely be staying again! - I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were very welcoming and professional, I would definitely stay there again! The room was a little cramped.
• James (8/5): Short, quiet and in general comfortable. Happy memories of the breakfast and homely surroundings. - I was very pleased with the general property condition and cleanliness, The room itself was small, but adequate for my needs and included tea and coffee making facilities. The bed was good, perhaps a little hard, but I am suffering from a back problem, so a little on the tender side. I did sleep well however. Main issue was the weather, it was very hot and on the down side there was little respite in the room even with the windows open. A fan would have been very helpful. However, I did not ask for one, so this issue is down to me. On the very good side was the breakfast. As an insulin dependent diabetic this meal is very important for me and I'm pleased to say the breakfast was very good indeed. Cooked to perfection for me was a full English breakfast, with all the works, (egg, beans, tomato, sausage, black pudding complete with plenty of tea and toast with best butter). More importantly it was not swimming in fat, but lightly fried. I really looked forward to my breakfasts and was not disappointed. The landlady was also very friendly and helpful, I have no concerns there and overall I rate this establishment as very good indeed for service, quality of meals as well as location. There can be an issue for parking, which was not a big issue for me, as I left my car where I managed to park and relied on my friend to do the driving. However, he had lots of issues trying to find somewhere even temporarily, but he communicated with me by phone and we managed. I must say that the parking issue is not specific to the South Shore Guest house facility, its universally true in South Shields I found and much of it is charged for as well. The guest house location was also excellent, it gave me easy walking access to the shops, bars and restaurants I needed and of course the sea front facilities as well etc. Mainly the parking issues, However, the lack of respite from the heat was sometimes an issue. Otherwise nothing of importance to me.
• WILKINSON (10/5): my stay was lovely. the hosts were brilliant friendly very helpful -
• Sara (9/5): - Lorraine was a wonderful host, always at hand if you needed anything. Guest house was very clean, the breakfast was amazing. We have no complaints & will be back again, 5 minutes walk from the beautiful beaches, plenty of eat out places round about.
• june (10/5): Superb - Lorraine absolutely fantastic. Couldn't do enough for you. Breakfast was perfect. Location great. Everything on the doorstep, park, beach, restaurants and shops. There wasn't anything to complain about.
• christophe (8/5): Small single room but fine for a short stay and good value for money. - Lorraine was very welcoming. Perfect location. Lovely breakfast.
• Marie-anne (10/5): we had a very warm welcome, shown to our rooms . which we’re comfortable and clean. breakfast was spot on. would definit - excellent location, very comfortable and very clean
• Dawn (9/5): -
• Barbara (10/5): -
• Lucie (10/5): Absolutely wonderful! - I absolutely loved my stay there. The room was spotless and very cosy. Both my mum and I slept very comfortably and we're both fairly picky when it comes to bed and pillows. The bathroom was spacious and very clean. We had a full english breakfast on both days and it was wonderful as well. But the real gems are the owners. I haven't had much time to chat with Andrew but he was so helpful when we first arrived and Lorraine is an absolute sweetheart. My mum, who doesn't speak English, couldn't stop telling me how wonderful and welcoming Lorraine was and I think she was fairly jealous she couldn't have a chat with her. I would totally recommend this place and I will definitely come back in the future if my travels take me to South Shields again.
• Barry (10/5): don’t usually stay in guest houses we normally use hotels but it was great, very nice owners and clean and comfortable h - nice relaxing and comfortable, owners were very nice and easy to get on with 😊

• Duncan (9/5): Great stay at South Shore guest house - Hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely, and plenty of it for a good start to the day. The location was great with great travel links to surrounding areas. Perfect for what we needed it for. Thank you Michelle & Kay x
• Shaun (10/5): -
• Bea (10/5): Staying at South Shore Guest House helped make our Sunderland trip perfect. - Absolutely EVERYTHING! We were in town for a concert May 2023, and staying at South Shore Guest House was like visiting godparents on a school holiday - warm, welcoming, cozy, and caring. The best part was our hostess Lorraine’s charming stories over the hearty homemade breakfasts that she and her husband prepared for all the guests each morning. The town of South Shields is a dreamy, friendly community by the sea, and this B&B is in the perfect spot for strolling to and fro from the diverse restaurants & stores to the excellent dog watching at the pier. Also, super convenient to find from the train station. I can’t recommend a stay there enough; 10/10.

• Ant (10/5): - Vynikající anglická snídaně, na naše přání nám majitelka poskytnula i stejně dobrou snídani kontinentálního typu. Ohromné porce! Paní majitelka je velice příjemná osoba, vždy nám splnila všechna přání. Dokonalá čistota - denně vzorně uklizeno. Obrovská pohodlná postel. Lednička sice menší a trošku hlučná, ale nám postačovala.
