“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

I have just come back from a trip to South Sheilds with my Mother, we used to live there in the 70's so was a walk down memory lane for us, we stayed at the Forest Guest House and was glad we did! The room was very comfortable and clean, had everything we needed for a three day stay (even had an extensive DVD library), Janet the owner couldn't have been friendlier and took great pride in her B&B. The only negative comment I have to say is the beds had boards under the mattresses which made the mattress slip of the base! Other than this I would say everything was perfect. I would really recommend a stay here. Well worthy of it's 4 stars.

“A great bed and breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

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!

“Home from home.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

Myself and my husband stayed at Forest Guest House for one night while visiting friends in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed. We were made to feel very welcome by Janet & Peter and everywhere was spotless. We loved the idea of having dvd's, books and magazines to choose from. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of things to choose from. We will definitely be staying here again.
