Holidayed here 2 years ago and have come back again due to the hospitality that Dave and Susan offer. The rooms are of a very high standard,the breakfast is out of this world. Dave is always very informative about things to do around the area and it's somewhere we would always come back to thanks to Dave and Susan's hospitality.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Clifton for a weekend at the end of May this year (2011) for the Evolution festival in the centre of Newcastle. The Clifton is in a convenient location and it is easy to commute to and from Newcastle on the Metro, with the South Shields station only 5 minutes away from the guest... More

I recently stayed at the Clifton Guest House with my friends for a concert at the Stadium of Light. We arrived at the Cifton by car, it was easy to find and there was plenty of free onstreet parking. We checked (a litte earlier than expected, but the owner was welcoming and happy to get us settled in) and had... More

Myself and 3 friends stayed here for a night and we had a lovely stay. Both the twin and the double room were very clean with modern decor. Each room had an en suite.

We really could find no fault with this guest house. Perfectly clean, very well appointed, with all the little touches that make staying B&B a pleasure. Parking immediately at the front of the guest house was easy ("this is South Shields, not south London", said the proprietor). This was a nice a B&B accommodation as we've ever had. Many thanks....

The Clifton is a great place to stay if you are okay with guest houses, the room was excellent - clean comfortable, warm and had everything you need. Dave,the owner, and his wife were very friendly and his breakfast was brilliant, full off flavour and cooked to order unlike that found in the hotel buffet style breakfasts. A very pleasant... More

We weren't expecting much from the Clifton because we stayed at several not great guest houses, but on arrival we were pleasantly surprised. The couple who run the guest house are wonderful, they are helpful in planning for the day and provide great suggestions for things to do around South Shields. We were also surprised by how lovely our little... More
