Kingsmere Guest House

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 stayed in Room 2 for one night. It was a cosy, clean and charming room. The room is en suite with a small shower room, the shower itself isn’t overly powerful, but it was adequate and toiletries are provided. The host as added bathrobes and slippers for use also. The breakfast the next morning was delicious! The menu covers all tastes, and you can tailor make your breakfast by choosing only the things you like much more sensible). My husband had the full English, and I had Eggs Benedict, both were freshly made and piping hot. This Guesthouse I found to be great value for money, in an excellent location in South Shields, we would definitely stay 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.

My wife and i decided to try a weekend break without the car and chose this location because the Metro allows access to most of Tyne and Wear. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner Paul with a big welcoming smile and the smile stayed all weekend. I suffer with mobility issued and should have made our hosts aware when booking, unfortunately we were allocated room 5 at the top of the building (36 steps). After the first nigh i made Paul aware of this and without hesitation he moved us to room 2 one flight up. Both rooms were of a very high standard of comfort and cleanliness. Now to what i think should be the best selling point of this Guest House THE BREAKFAST, Top quality produce cooked to perfection from the Full breakfast to the pancakes. I wonder how many Guest Houses serve up Eggs Benedict for breakfast ? Smoked salmon poached eggs and lovely hollandaise sauce all cooked to order with PERFECT poached eggs. The only issue i have is tat the Guest house is at the top of a small hill from the shops but this is remedied with a short detour through the lovely park.

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 .
