In November 2021 we bought, updated, re-carpeted, redecorated and refreshed our latest place; this fantastic 8 (EIGHT) BEDROOM townhouse to the same standard of our numerous other properties.

It is situated just a short stroll from the BEAUTIFUL South Shields coastline, Sandhven beach (voted the best beach in UK in 2022) with lovely award-winning bars (the amazing Marine) and restaurants/takeaways (Indian, Chinese, Fish & Chips, Turkish, Italian, etc) literally a 1-minute walk over the road from us. South Shields town centre is also on your doorstep with local shops and EXCELLENT TRANSPORT LINKS.

But it is NO LONGER a Bed & Breakfast, instead, a self-catering townhouse home where you have the whole property to yourself (unused bedrooms remain locked off for smaller bookings).

Strict house rule: Max adults is 10. Max house capacity is 9 for families. Apart from company/worker bookings we don't allow large single-sex bookings. We have a strict NO PARTY policy. We have cameras, nice neighbours and a private security firm on call as a last resort. Don't waste our time if that is your intention as you will be kicked out. If in any doubt contact us with any enquiries of queries on this before booking. Thanks.

We lock (keys in keyboxes) all bedrooms and on booking you only get the key codes corresponding to the numbers of persons/bedrooms booked and paid for.

The 5 largest bedrooms are all double ensuites (listed first):
Room 1: Ground floor rear.
Room 3: First-floor rear.
Room 4: First-floor front.
Room 6: Second-floor rear.
Room 7: Second-floor front.

Room 8: 2nd-floor front - small double ensuite [1].
Room 2: 1st/2nd mezzanine floor rear - small double ensuite.
Room 5: first-floor front - a single ensuite [1]

Note: [1]Toilets for these rooms are just outside the room but for use by these room guests only - room guest gets the toilet key.

Set over three floors with amazing spacious room and super fast 200Mb/s (TWO HUNDRED) fibre broadband throughout, this property offers ample spacious living space for larger groups to enjoy and is right in the middle of the best street in South Shields! Ocean Road at the end nearest the beach, Colemans fish and chip restaurant / take away, lovely Indian etc restaurants and the fantastic Marine pub which does superb craft ales and home-cooked food are a one-minute walk over the road from us! It is a dream location for leisure bookers and contractors alike who don't want to cook every night and instead sample the amazing takeaway options on our doorstep literally!

On entering the property is an entrance hallway, lounge, bedroom 1, dining room, kitchen and utility room. On the mezzanine level is bedroom 2. On the first floor is a WC, office and bedrooms 3, 4, & 5. To the second floor is a WC and bedrooms 6, 7, & 8.

NOTE: Unlike many serviced accommodations we have central heating controlled by HIVE room thermostat to maintain a cosy temperature (in fact even for last minute bookers, as soon as you book I will get the heating on to ensure its nice and warm for your arrival!), NOT ones which switch off after 2 hours so places can get very cold when going out of the place for a few hours or every night. We do things right.

Literally, a 1 minutes walk to the parks, bars and restaurants, etc and 5 minutes walk to our beautiful seafront and beaches. 30 minutes drive to Newcastle and Sunderland and similar on public transport using the Metro (8 mins walk to South Shields Bus & Metro Interchange).

Local mini supermarkets open till late, and Morrisons, ASDA a few minutes drive in South Shields centre.

My guarantee.

All guests get my personal guide to the area. I will do my best to make guests feel at home and provide as much information as I can on the area as they wish gained from being from South Shields and knowing the area inside out.

Thanks, Colin Atkinson, Owner/Manager.
