Book Cheap Hotels in South Shields

Being from the states and never having been to the UK before I didn't want to stay in a chain hotel. I wanted a more direct experience of the people and culture. Staying here for the week I was in South Shields was absolutely the best choice I made when planning my trip. Janet and Peter are incredibly warm and welcoming, and are full of suggestions on things to do/places to eat in the area. The room I had was incredibly clean and well maintained, as were the parts of the rest of the house I saw. Fantastic breakfasts without exception and lots of conversation every morning.I suppose if you were strictly a business traveler who wanted to be left alone completely other that being cleaned up after you might not enjoy that level of personal engagement, but that's not the type of person who'd likely stay in a guest house in the first place. Given the makeup of the area - quite a few guest houses and places to eat - I was surprised at how quiet it was, even with my road-facing windows open almost all the time. I'm hard pressed to think of anything else they could have done beyond what they did. Would not hesitate to stay with them again, or recommend them to others.
