Another excellent stay at the Forest. The hosts were as friendly as always, the room excellent and well tended to each day. Lovely breakfast to start the day, and would have no problem in recommending the Forest to anyone thinking of staying in South Shields. We'll be back during the Catherine Cookson Festival this year!

Just returned from a 1 night stay in South Shields with work & booked Forest Guest House, was comforted to see they don't accept Stags or Hens. The Guest House is clean & well maintained & I stayed in the 'family/double/twin ensuite' on the top floor, which has been decorated since the photo & is really nicely done. My only... More

Friendly welcome and shown to a very pleasant room and all facilities explained by Janet. Lovely comfortable bed with clean crisp cotton sheets and duvet. Nice to find a room safe which is not often provided in B&B's. Good wholesome freshly cooked full English breakfast. One of the best and friendly B&B's I have stayed in

A great place to stay with excellent service! Our room, and facilities were of a high standard. Breakfast was freshly cooked for you and was of a high quality. Most importantanly, was the genuine friendly service provided by Janet and Peter who made our stay most enjoyable. We would definately recommend the Forest Guest House to anyone visiting South Shields!... More

Placed close to centre and beach, hastle free. The local area has plenty to see and imaculate beaches close at hand. We went to the Sage at Newcastle at night so used the metro, and came back in plenty of time for last orders!
