Set in South Shields, 800 metres from Sandhaven Beach and 11 km from Stadium of Light, South Shore Guest House offers accommodation with free WiFi in a historic building. It is situated 16 km from Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and provides luggage storage space. Sage Gateshead is 16 km from the guest house and Theatre Royal is 17 km away.

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.

Offering river views, Arbeia - Properties Unique is an accommodation set in South Shields, 12 km from Stadium of Light and 16 km from Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the apartment free of charge. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.2 km from Sandhaven Beach.

The flat was warm and cosy. I liked that it had dishwasher tablets, washing machine capsules (I travelled with two toddlers so this was great to have access to a washing machine and clothes horse). I took our own washing up liquid. It felt homely and modern. The smart tv had apps for iPlayer and Netflix which we could log in to. The beds were comfy and clean. Location good, though having the kids o did tend to drive to the town and the beach as it would have felt too far to walk with them but I’m sure for able adults it is perfectly walkable. South Shields as an area seemed to have lots to do - north marine park, south marine park, the pleasure beach, leisure centre, lots of restaurants. I think we’ll definitely go back to South Shields and would consider staying here again.
