    A Perfect Getaway for a Special Occasion

    My boyfriend and I had an amazing time celebrating his birthday. The plush room featured a power shower and welcoming touches like fresh milk and snacks. Audrey's warm hospitality made our stay memorable. Easily accessible from the metro and close to the beach. Highly recommend for a relaxing retreat!

    great breakfast
    friendly hosts
    lots of stairs
    difficult parking

    stayed at forest guest house for 2 nights n it was amazin! the room was super clean and comfy, and there was a nice touch with the free chocolates. loved the breakfast, coz u can order what u want n it was cooked fresh. janet and peter were super friendly n helpful with local tips, made me feel right at home. location is great too, just a short walk to the beach!

    my only issue was the four flights of stairs to my room, kinda tiring after a long day. parking was also a bit tricky, had to hunt for a spot.

    delicious breakfast
    comfortable room
    family-friendly
    challenging parking

    Had a fab stay with my daughter where we enjoyed the best pancakes for breakfast and a lovely room with fresh milk and local chocolates. The nearby beach and relaxing swimming pools offered great downtime. Just a heads up, parking can be a bit tricky outside, but there's a free public lot nearby. Can't wait to visit again! 😊

    This place was just an optimal selection for an overnight stay in South Shields with good value. Breakfast was cooked to perfection in a spotless dining area, which was a nice surprise. Make sure to try the local restaurants right across the street.

    safety feature
    minor improvement

    The Forest Guest House was beautifully decorated and exuded warmth. The cleanliness of both our room and shared areas was exceptional, making it a comfortable retreat for seniors like me. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

    A handrail in the shower would be helpful.

    slippery entrance
    minor concern

    My stay at Forest Guest House was fantastic! The room was spotlessly clean with a comfy bed and a well-stocked fridge that included complimentary bottled water. I especially loved the full English breakfast served in a bright dining area. The hosts were warm and engaging, making every meal an enjoyable experience.

    The entrance slabs could be slightly slippery when wet.

    My recent stay at Forest Guest House was outstanding.

I particularly enjoyed the full English breakfast served in a spotless dining area, alongside warm and engaging conversations with the hosts.

    Bright, airy rooms packed with great amenities like flat-screen TVs and an extensive DVD library make for a comfortable retreat. The breakfast selection hits the mark with a full English that’s freshly cooked and satisfying.

    Parking can feel like a puzzle to solve, especially given the urban surroundings. The street outside features a plethora of Indian restaurants, which might be an obstacle for diners looking for lighter fare. however, one can find a couple of alternatives nearby. The front entrance has slabs that can potentially become slippery when wet, a small note for those a bit on edge regarding footing.
