10 minute walk to the metro which takes about 25 to 30 minutes to Newcastle Central Station. The location of the accommodation is very near to the town centre and beach etc. There are numerous pubs, restaurants to take advantage of. I met the owner to obtain entry but there is key system available. Would certainly recommend.

About 6 students stay in the house. At 11.15pm on Wednesday 8th July I could not get to sleep because they were talking loudly and I told them to be quiet. they did. The same happened on Friday night at midnight I told them to be quiet, they did. Every B&B has milk sachets but not here. I was given a tin of milk but this was no good Dont come because of the noisy students. This house is situated in Ocean Road which is full of cafes/restaurants which are mostly Indian ones It is also near South Shields Roman fort which is interesting. It is also near the beach and very near the centre of town which are all good points. I was glad I was given a back room because the front rooms would have been hot and the road would have been noisy

Immaculate property which was spotless inside. As a woman travelling alone I felt safe, everything I needed was within walking distance plus parking is free outside the guest house. Great restaurants across the road. My room was spotless tastefully decorated with everything I needed I slept so well I left later than intended. Would definitely recommend staying, I’ll definitely stay again.

Stayed at Elmswood Guest House recently. It was a single room without an en-suite, which I was aware of beforehand and was absolutely fine for what I needed. Overall, everything was relatively clean, though there were a couple of details that could have been better.. some mould in the shower and quite a bit of hair next to the side of the bed. Nothing catastrophic, but noticeable. The stay itself was straightforward and did the job. It’s very much a “somewhere to sleep” kind of place rather than somewhere you’d go out of your way to experience. The only slightly frustrating part was the checkout process. I couldn’t find the dropbox for the keys when leaving, so ended up putting them back in the lockbox. The email instructions they send try to be friendly but were a bit unclear and not especially helpful in that moment. All in all, it served its purpose, just with a few small things that could be improved.

Originally booked on another site that said breakfast was available but I cancelled due to finding a cheaper offer and I'm so glad I did as it turns out they do not supply breakfast so I was almost robbed. The stay was lovely bar the people staying upstairs that sounded like a herd of elephants and went to the toilet every 20 minutes till nearly 3am so all you could hear was bang, bang, bang, flush all night. I like that there is no curfew and we were able to have late night out Friday but we made the effort to be as quiet as possible unlike others staying there slamming doors and stomping up and down the stairs. Id likely stay again but maybe not on a weekend if I'm going to lose so much sleep

Lovely B&B

Lovely B&B and friendly owners, although due to the current situation we didn't see much of them. Exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a good shower (always a priority for us). Good location for access to the town centre and sea front. We would definitely stay again.

I was in room 2 which was a single room but it was clean, well maintained and exceptionally comfortable. It was airy given its size but the window came with a blackout blind. I would definitely stay here again. I didn't meet the owners but communication was excellent and they spoke to me on the telephone to ensure that everything was satisfactory.
