    Nothing, it was fine. Maybe be aware if you are arriving late, as I did, that there's not much in the way of amenities within walking distance if you want to get something to eat. I wish I'd brought a snack with me, but that was lack of planning on my part.

    Super friendly host who made me feel at home. Immaculate and clean rooms, felt very safe and welcoming. On street parking nearby, and although I only stayed one night I'd definitely return again for a longer stay. Very quiet. Perfect location for some parkrun tourism to South Shields parkrun

    absolutely one of the best rooms iv stayed in on booking.com ,the owner Duncan couldn’t do enough for me and I found this a big plus.I was staying for work and explained this to Duncan so I would be out early and miss breakfast-but this legend was up early and made me a breakfast before I left. whenever I’m back up here I will be staying here again,and would recommend this place to everyone

    everything was spot on only thing my partner had a moan about is that all our eggs had a runny yoke and his didn’t 🤣 he knows if he said thou the owner would off quiet happily done him another I thought it was amusing to be fair 🤣🤣🤣 x

    absolutely good value for money and a good English breakfast on the morning the owner was very accommodating even let us leave bags after check out why we enjoyed another day at the pleasure beach oh and not to forget he made my lazy teenager breakfast in bed with a candle in for his birthday would definitely recommend this bnb thanks for having us xx
