Freetobook, Boldon Colliery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

"It is a quirky place. Looks very plain from the front but was a lovely place to stay. Great service from arrival to departure. Food was superb. After checking out we were on our way to Sunderland when we realised we hadn't tipped the staff so, we turned back and did so. That's how good it was. Will definitely return."

"A lovely B B with central location. Beautiful sea front walk only 5min walk from property. Owner Nisha kind and welcoming. Will be staying here again on my next visit to South Shields."

"I advise everyone, DO NOT STAY at this property, keep on looking for something else. The rooms smelt of smoke, the hallways and stairs smelt like a bar, the people’s staying in the other rooms looked dodgy, this place is a craic den, and to top it all off the owners didn’t care about the issues. "

"The property was perfect for our stay ,the parking was only issue as the other car parked had taken 3/4 of the bay .not the host fault. "

"Great stay and great experience"
