South Shields itself is a great little seaside town that tries so hard to provide for locals and visitors. It has a little of everything; a great tidy beach, great seafront, entertainment, restaurants, fun, bars etc. It is a hidden gem.

We love the whole north east coast right down into Yorkshire. South Shields centre looks a bit these days but the rest of the town and immediate surrounding area is lovely as ever.

Fantastic beach,plenty for kids and adults to do,loads of places to eat and drink
"We had a lovely stay at the Dakota. We were greeted at the door by 2 staff members who were lovely and showed us to reception. Reception staff were lovely and friendly, engaged in conversation asking about our day. Wished me a Happy Birthday and our room was ready early, so was able to check in a good couple of hours earlier. Room was nice and spacious, clean and we could monitor the air con. Our overall stay was amazing and would definately reccomend. We didnt go in tbe restaurant/bar or stayed for breakfast so cant comment on this. "
