Kingsmere Guest House

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kingsmere Guest House. Bed was comfortable, room clean and a lovely breakfast. On arrival we were told we had been upgraded to a room with an en-suite, although I hadn't been aware that I had booked anything other so apparently a private bathroom is not en-suite - you live and learn. The parking is a bit hit and miss although free. We really enjoyed chatting to the hosts at breakfast and their charming grand daughter. TV was quite small but worked fine. Minor things - bathroom door needs a lock as it actually blows open when you are in there! The guest house is conveniently located near loads of eating places - bit spoilt for choice really. Overall vary satisfied and if we need accommodation in South Shields again I wouldn't hesitate.

The best guest house I have stayed in. I had been looking around for accommodation in the South Shields area and came across this guest house on the reviews. Torn between 3 places to stay. I was impressed by the location, photos and previous reviews. Contacting the Kingmere direct, I got a good deal with breakfast included. On arrival, being the next road up from the hussle, free parking was easy to find on the road, something that I really look for as I wouldn't want to fight for a space in the busier areas. Across the road and through the park to the beach, no more than 5 minutes walk. Check in was easy and I was welcomed by the owners. I was lucky to get Room 4, a generous family room. The double bed and bedding were very luxurious. Amble tea/coffee making facilities and a mini fridge. The dressing gowns were a real plus. There was a large ensuite shower room and fluffy bath sheets, which were nice. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice including Eggs Benedict, a Full English and vegetarian options. It filled me up for the today ahead. I would recommend The Kingsmere to anyone and plan to stay next time im in the area.

We got a nice warm welcome to a lovely clean guest house from the owner. Our room was very nice clean, comfy and warm. Even the old fireplace has been kept in and makes a great feature to the room. Breakfast was really nice, proper products and egg’s cooked to perfection. We would definitely stay at kingsmere guest house again.

My first impression of the Kingsmere Guest House in South Shields were excellent, however, there were some high points yet equally some low aspects of the stay. The exterior of the property was welcoming and the location was convenient for the beach, pleasure resort and the town centre with public transport links from the interchange a fifteen-minute walk away. Check-in was pleasant enough located in the first-floor resident's bar area although I had the distinct impression that I was not a priority and that the hosts had more pressing engagements to attend to. I did not book breakfast online due to not being aware of service times, yet it was obviously not possible to book and pay for breakfast on arrival which was disappointing. Even so, I was politely shown to room one, an ensuite single, which was presented very well with all the amenities you could require for your stay including iron and board together with a professional hairdryer. The ensuite bathroom was particularly wonderful, with a powerful double head shower and some lovely fluffy towels. The downside to the room included not having an outlook through the window which had obscure glass and the television was missing all of the BBC channels. A great value-for-money place to stay in South Shields, highly recommended.

From walking through the door, home from home, nothing too much trouble for hosts, everything and more in the fantastically equipped rooms, breakfast was best ever had and plentiful, so much selection. Best value for money ever. I would happily pay more to stay there again The bar was lovely, nice and cosy, welcoming, nice to unwind with a couple of drinks

Stayed at the Kingsmere guest house for a weekend break . The trip was fantastic . The guest house is situated in a perfect location for exploring the town and coast line . It is situated within walking distance of the town with its good selection of bars and restaurants . There is a vast array of eating places within a 5 minute walk with every selection of cuisine available. There are two parks and a beach again within a 5 minute walk . The hotel hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming to both us and our pet dog . The room was immaculately clean and spacious . The lovely soft dressing gowns and slippers were a very nice touch . The breakfast was amazing and there was a great selection. There is nothing negative to say about this guest house and I would highly recommend it .
