The room was clean and homely , en suite a little on the small side but did the job for the time we stayed. Breakfast was cooked fresh and to perfection in a spotless kitchen adjoined to the dining area so you could see exactly what was going on and also gave opportunity to have a conversation with the very sociable hosts peter and Janet. Location of the guest house was perfect for us, as it was just a short walk to the beach and also to a lovely park. it was close to an abundance of restaurants and bars, but not noisy. shops were just a short walk away. it was our first visit to south shields and have already talked about returning to the forest guest house. overall we had an enjoyable stay. ##### BONITA Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### D, london 8 Jul 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### So so B&B The location is great and central and the host are very nice and friendly.
