Brilliant stay once again

Our 4th stay here and, once again, couldn't fault it. Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff and quiet location. Breakfast is brilliant, freshly cooked. Will definitely stay again when in South Shields.

Staff very helpful and friendly, free on street parking, loads of places to eat in the area (Ocean Road), handy for the seafront. The hotel itself was top notch and the breakfast room/coffee shop were lovely. Will definitely be back.

It is obvious that this family has had 5-star hotel experience. The room was beautiful, clean, and well-appointed. The food choices were myriad for breakfast, and I could see why the people of the city go there for breakfast, brunch, coffee, and lunch. The staff were friendly, and expeditious.

Room and event

We recently booked a two night stay and hired the function room for an event and we're extremely happy with the quality and service. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

Break away

Very nice hotel on busy road .The decor is amazing .Stayed in room 2 front room on main road .The bed was comfy , only downside was wooden surround on bed , must have banged our legs numerous times . The sliding door on bathroom /toilet was rather noisy and could hear upstairs sliding doors too. On arrival was met by owner I think ? And was greeted by him saying 'Youre bank card was declined ' after him trying to put the card through once again it worked .He never asked where we were from or how was youre journey ? We stayed for 2 nights and wasnt sure who the owners were .Plenty of staff at breakfast and the breakfast choice was lovely .The coffee was very poor and luke warm .Not enough milk in room either .On departure nobody asked how our stay was ?? The cleaner i spoke to was very friendly though .

I think it was down to my chronic pain why I felt the bed was a little uncomfortable. Amazing beautiful decor and staff attentive and helpful. Amazing gluten free breakfast far too much so next time I will ask for less. One of the best gluten free breakfasts Imo highly recommend

Arrival was swift and easy, then shown to room in building next door, which wasn't a problem. Room 17 pretty small, small bathroom and sink in the bedroom. All looked clean and tidy apart from the seat at the desk and the information booklet which both need attention.

The room that we booked was not as advertised on the website, we chose a superior double as not too many stairs but the room we were given was another flight of stairs up. Had to phone the hotel number as no one available to talk to in person but in saying that was quickly resolved and a ground floor room was thankfully available. I mentioned website as also advertised a lounge/bar for guests but this apparently had not been open since Covid! Suggested website requires updating. Breakfast included was a continental only unless upgraded for £15pp for hot food. Continental was sufficient.
