Host Info

Host Review Score 8.5

The property is located in the Riverside Area of South Shields, neighbouring Customs House Theatre and very close to the North Shields Ferry. Shops and Amenities are within walking distance.

We love to meet new people and have been fortunate that our line of work has enabled us to accommodate some really amazing people. All are welcome at Mill Dam Guest House including your pets.

Although neighbours with Customs House Theatre and several friendly public bars, noise is not an issue. We are situated in a conservation area and have many pleasant views and walks and we are also right on top of the town centre and its amenities.
