Just enjoyed a 2 night stay at Forest Guest House. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean, and being at the back of the house - lovely and quiet. We were made very welcome and well looked after, and I have no hesitation in recommending this guest house. In fact, we have already booked the same room again for... More

This is the second time we've stayed at this guest house and its so easy to see why. This place is exceptionally clean and seeing Janet clean a room you can see why. Our room was a good size and had all the mod cons, if you get bored you find outside a hugh DVD collection to pass the time.... More

We stayed for 2 days in August 2012, mainly to visit friends who lived in the area. This was our first visit to South Shields. We knew that people in this area were warm and friendly, and Janet & Peter were no exception. The place was a palace, from the moment we walked through the door we felt at home.... More

A single traveller i was made to feel very welcome by hosts Jane & Peter, who have an excellent knowledge of local events and places to visit. The guest house was immaculately clean throughout with spacious rooms, and all the facilities anyone could ask. The full English breakfast was superb and left me not wanting anything else to eat until... More
