Less than 10 minutes’ walk from South Shields’ beach and Ocean Beach Pleasure Park, this 3-star guest house offers free Wi-Fi access. South Shields Metro Station is also within a 10-minute walk of Beechwood Guest House.

I had a the most pleasant stay at Beechwood Guesthouse and Rez, who runs the property, has been extremely helpful looking after us and making this an excellent holiday. The cooked breakfast served was absolutely fabulous and extremely delicious. All in all I would strongly recommend this place to everyone as there are only six roms available which means it does not get crowded and consequently you can have a very relaxing holiday. I will most definitely come back and stay in this lovely place.

    Very comfortable bed. I upgraded to get an en suite which was lovely with a good shower. Friendly host. Privacy guaranteed. Walking distance to a park and the beach and lots of restaurants and takeouts. Parking on street is fine - always found a space. Breakfast was phenomenal! And although I had no dog, being a dog friendly guest house is a bonus. Also very quiet. Plenty room for clothing. Unlimited tea/coffee/milk and plenty choices of tea. Free view tv and free wifi (decent strength).

    Great location near the beach but also the town centre and local pubs and restaurants. Great hosts, They were very helpful with local information. Rooms were spotlessly clean. Great choice of teas, coffee and other beverages in the room even fresh milk in the mini fridge and fresh filtered water. Great personal touches. The Full English Breakfast was a veritable feast cooked perfectly. The hosts chatted to us and other guests during breakfast and it was this friendly personal approach which will make us book again with them.

    Paul and Sally are great hosts, super welcoming. Their guest house is super clean and homely. Our room was well decorated with all amenities and little touches like a bottle of water, biscuits, robes and slippers. Breakfast the next day was delicious and plentiful in a very relaxed atmosphere. We are going to make this a yearly trip we enjoyed it that much
