16 Seafield Terrace, South Shields

We had a lovely family stay at the house, definately not a place for anyone with mobility issues though due to steep hills and 3 stories. We managed to park in local area over road and round corner but maybe use of a residents parking permit would have been nice. All rooms were spacious and comfortable and we all slept well. It could maybe do with some tlc as some areas were showing a little wear and tear but nothing to stop us enjoying our stay. Be careful with the hot tub the lid mechanism is broken so needs a strong persons to lift off and put back on and some jets are not working but its still nice for a dip after a day of exploring. Lots to do in surrounding areas too so would recommend to families who like exploring. All in all a comfortable stay, just a few bits which stopped me giving it 5 stars.

Lovely large property. Very clean. Hot tub was a bonus. Would certainly return and recommend. Would benefit from an extra bathroom with a bath as there is only a shower in the property.

On arriving at the house we noticed that some of the radiator covers were broken. There were burn marks on the window frame in one of the bedrooms. The bedroom that had the WiFi router in had numerous plugs in one adaptor which could be a potential fire risk. The decoration needs some attention. The kitchen had lots of flies and when we went out to the back yard area it smelt strongly of urine. The hot tub was ready to be filled. Once we had filled it we realised that only one of the jets was working and not fully. We contacted the owner of the property who sent us information on how to reset it. This did not work so we had a warm tub with minimal jets, which we found disappointing as we paid more than we normally would for our break as we really wanted a hot tub. Overall quite disappointing and we would not recommend.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Seafield terrace. The house is nicely decorated and has everything you need A well stocked kitchen, a comfortable living room and a large family bathroom with a great shower. The bedrooms are comfortable and we slept like logs all week. It is perfectly situated to explore the local area. We went to watch Newcastle play at St James and shop at Eldon square in the centre of Newcastle, the Royal navy museum in Hartlepool, Beamish open air museum and Durham city centre to shop and see the Castle and cathedral. All were easy to get to by car, but there is also excellent public transport with trains and buses going all over. The Durham city park and ride and tyne wear Metro are good value. South Shields itself has a nice seafront, plenty of shops, a market and loads of places to eat. We would recommend the Marine pub on the corner of Seafield terrace, Colmans fish and chips, Donatellos pizza and Lucky Chinese takeaway, There are plenty of other places we never got round to. Another bathroom or WC would be useful It wasnt an issue for us but might be for a larger party. Some very minor issues would be the lack of a soap dish or shelf for the shower as there is no where to put soap, shampoo, shower gel etc. and the lock on the bathroom door is quite high up to reach for smaller guests. A vacantengaged bolt halfway up the door would be better. If the plan for the locked upstairs room is for another bedroom or bathroom, we would definitely consider returning with extended family as they would also enjoy staying at Seafield terrace.

Absolutely fabulous from beginning to end. We had the pleasure of staying on Seafield Terrace for 3 weeks. Location, proximity to everywhere and the spaciousness of the house were beyond measure. Impeccably clean and so much room for visits from family and friends. Kitchen was amazing, beds comfy and bathroom huge. Could probably benefit from another loo but otherwise the perfect home for our holiday!!!!!

This property is in a great position for a stay to enjoy South Shields. First off the house was spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept very well. It was very peaceful at night. The layout of the property is very good and there was plenty of room for our party of four, although a large party may feel the need for an extra loo on the lower ground floor. Use of the hot tub was lovely after a days walking. The owner was very quick to respond to a couple of issues. Sight seeing opportunities are endless and we purchased a Day Rover ticket for the Ferry and Metro and went all over in a day. Lots of places to eat out and get takeaways. Harbour Lights pub was great for food and Colmans fish & chips takeaway was best. North Sheilds for the Fish Quay area very good and Newcastle Toon is our favourite place to be in the North East. This is a period house with some very nice features and even though it needs a few minor decor touch ups here and there it is a lovely house to stay in. Would easily stay again as there is all you need in the area for a great holiday.
