Kingsmere Guest House

Great breakfast

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.

A fantastic stay and fully equipped family room with comfort and sophistication. The girls loved the very strong and sturdy bunk beds as well as the chaise longue by the window. Location is perfect, 10 min walk to the Amusements and beach. Breakfast was first class and cooked to perfection! Thank you for a great stay, we would most certainly recommend and return.

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.

First time at the Kingmere. I will come again. Friendly and helpful owner, lovely cooked breakfast and large en-suite rooms. Good price too. Slightly off the main area of B&Bs but still close to the parks and the sea but a quieter road.

Good B&B, all the thing's you expected are supplied . Good sized room, lot's of channels on TV , very clean linen and bedding and lots of options for breakfast. If in town again I will definitely check Kingsmeres vacancies.

Excellent would recommend. Clean and exactly where you need to be. On a bank but was ok still near everything. Will definitely be back

I have stayed here before and plan on staying here every time i come to south shields. Its just off ocean road, so much quieter. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lots of steep stairs. Old dated shower painted black to 'tart it up'. Christmas decorations stored in our bedroom. Bar in hotel never open. A bit of a waste of time.
