“This beachfront location, right opposite the local amusement park, is hard to beat for families; I particularly like the Asian fusion dining in the Buddha Lounge, something different for South Shields. The wide range of accessible features also strikes me as thoughtful, providing real benefits for many guests. It's a solid base for a seaside getaway.”
