    cheerful staff
    delicious dish
    cold room
    draughty window
    cleanliness issues

    Gaining access to the carpark was straightforward for a local, but could pose challenges for others. The spacious room felt unwelcoming due to a lack of heating and a cold draught from the single-glazed window. While there were cheerful staff and a noteworthy classic fried fish dish at breakfast, the overall condition of the hotel showed neglect with cleanliness issues, and dated facilities like peeling paint and mould in the shower.

    great value

    It was just a balanced option for a stopover in South Shields with great value-to-price ratio. The cheerful staff made check-in easy and pleasant. Call reception from your mobile for car park access.

    spacious double bed
    nice terrace
    crowded breakfast area

    I had a lovely overnight stay and really enjoyed the spacious double bed in my cozy room. The hotel offered a nice terrace for relaxation, and I appreciated the quiet atmosphere to unwind. Just a heads-up, the breakfast area could get a bit crowded, but I’d definitely return for the comfortable vibe! 😊

    Charming historic atmosphere with friendly service

    I was charmed by the historic character of this grand old building, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The breakfast served was generous and delicious, setting me up nicely for the day. the furnishings in my room felt a bit dated and could use an update to match the hotel's character.

    Cozy and chill vibes

    Really liked my stay here! The room was a good size, and the bathroom was super clean. Loved the breakfast selection, especially the fresh fruit and pastries. The parking was easy peasy, which was a big plus! Only thing, it could use some more lighting in the room, felt a bit dim at times.

    charming atmosphere
    good location
    cozy bed
    cleanliness issues
    poor maintenance
    heating troubles

    The hotel holds charm with its historic character. My room, though on the smaller side, offered a cozy bed and a hot shower. The spacious family room next door caught my eye. Location worked well for my local activities. easy access to nearby restaurants. The breakfast provided a generous portion but could use better quality cutlery. Issues include noticeable gaps in the windows leading to drafts, and the heating was turned off in December. I found stains on the wall by the tea station and signs of wear throughout the decor. The staff were friendly and helpful, which improved my experience, but the overall maintenance felt lacking. If they addressed the cleanliness and heating, this place could truly shine.

    homemade bread
    quick service
    dirty room
    unsanitary dining
    refund issues

    Avoid this accommodation if you value cleanliness and safety. Room 15 was in a deplorable state, leading us to seek breakfast elsewhere, as the conditions felt risky. After reporting to environmental health and struggling to obtain a refund, I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. The homemade bread was a rare positive in an otherwise bleak experience.
