Restaurants, bars and takeaways are within 300 metres of Beechwood and Newcastle’s busy city centre can be reached after a 40-minute journey on the metro. Scenic clifftop walks can be enjoyed on the Leas, which is just 1 mile away.

Ιt was a great pleasure staying at Beechwood guest house. Rez was an amazing host, I had everything I needed in my room, so much coziness and warmth to fight the cold outside. Unfortunately, I was n't able to enjoy the famous breakfast of Rez but...well, next time! The location is also excellent, one breath away from the sea, restaurants, coffee shops and metro station. I was waking up every morning with the sound of the seagulls flying. Highly reccomend it and would definitely like to stay there again. Thank you for having me.

    Great hotel, we would come back in a heartbeat! The place is beautiful, clean and in a great location. Even more important, The Clifton is definitely dog friendly. All three of felt so welcomed. The rooms are lovely, spacious, and quiet when the windows are closed. We were actually able to relax properly. We also want to say thanks for the tasty food and coffees at breakfast. Great start into the day :)

    Clean, comfortable and spacious flat in a quiet residential street close to the lovely beach. Had a great time reacquainting myself with South Shields, and touring from Cragside in Northumberland to the ancient city of Durham, plus the vibrant shopping and nightlife of Newcastle, all of which are in easy reach. One of many high points was Beamish museum- fantastic!
