For the most part this is a truly excellent family run guest house and I can definitely recommend this spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and well appointed place to stay in the quiet residential area of the town. The house is located midway between the town centre with its public transport interchange and the seafront with its attraction and beach both are about 10 to 15 minute walk away.

Little Gem of a B&B!

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.

Just want you need.

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.

Not thrilled.

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.

Quiet and comfort! Excellent stay.

Paid for three nights, no breakfast. Stayed with my partner in room 5 - which had a private bathroom just outside the corridor. The guestbook was perfect for newcomers to the north coast looking for places to visit. Personal sink, hairdryer, standing fan and a wide selection of teas and coffees were lovely, and the fluffiest of bathrobes was a most welcome comfort. We slept incredibly well due to the inn being higher off Ocean road, and the streets being quieter. Only deducting two points from the pressure and temperature of our shower fluctuating, and some dusting needed to be done on the shelves above the door and headboard of our bed. Bar from that the cleanliness was immaculate. Other then that, we would absolutely stay again!

First Choice Every Visit!

The Kingsmere is always my first choice on visits to South Shields .Great location in a quiet area. A 10 minute walk from sea front attractions and the town centre with free on street parking. Paul & Sally are great hosts, and nothing is a hassle to them. The brilliant little on site bar is also a welcome site after a long journey. The rooms are always spotless, with big comfy beds and free toiletries & some comfort products. It does fill up quickly, as I have often found when trying to book. So if its available, then do not hesitate!
