About this property
16 Seafield Terrace is a splendid, mid-terrace cottage situated in the coastal town of South Shields, just outside the hustle and bustle of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Set over three floors, this inviting abode is a lovely place to call home while exploring the attractions of South Tyneside, including many sandy beaches and seaside fun. Enter on the first floor, where you can come across the lounge; here you can put your feet up after a day of walking, tuning into the Smart TV in search of a favourite film, or simply enjoying the company of each other as you reflect on the day’s events. Move downstairs to the ground floor, discovering the kitchen/diner and its array of appliances, well-equipped to assist with home-cooking, or order in a local takeaway and pop open a bottle of fizz. From here you can access the enclosed patio, offering a sumptuous 7 person hot tub which is the perfect way to recover after a long day, while there is also a set of bistro table and chairs for enjoying lunch outside. As your eyes grow heavy, head upstairs to the bedrooms; on the first floor lies a king-size and a sumptuous bathroom where you can prepare for the day, while the second-floor hosts two king-size doubles and a single, each with neutral tones and touches. When you’re ready to explore, there’s lots to enjoy in this quaint coastal town; enjoy an exhibition of the fabulous South Shields Museum and Art Gallery, uncover years of history at the Tynemouth Priory and Castle nestled on a rocky headland, or head to the Ocean Beach Pleasure Park and enjoy a day of thrilling rides and fun fair activities. South Shields is also home to two wonderful parks, South and North Marine Park, where you can feed the ducks and swans at the boating lake and enjoy a miniature steam train ride, before stopping off for some hot sour cherries and ice cream at the café. If you wish to marvel at local sights, you can go for a scenic stroll along the coast to the renowned St. Mary’s Lighthouse, or travel a little further and check out the breath-taking Tynemouth Priory & Castle; or take a walk to the end of its pier to reach the Tynemouth Pier Lighthouse. You are also well-placed to accessing the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, giving you a wealth of places to explore, including The Discovery Museum, Tyne Bridge and the Victoria Tunnel Tours, plus a great selection of fine restaurants to sample. 16 Seafield Terrace is a great escape to the North East of England, whatever time of year.

Each room had everything you could need. Would recommend leaving a hoover though, just so guests can run it through if needed. The bedrooms had lots of storage and were very comfortable. We spent most of our time in the lovely kitchen or the hot tub. Access to the hot tub could be improved, we had to grab a little set of steps from IKEA as it was difficult to get into (even for my 5ft 6 daughter). Brilliant idea for the keyless entry - no keys to lose. Already planning to book for next year. There is something for everyone nearby. Only thing we would ask to improve is to provide a black bin outside - recycling bin was full when we got there and was no black bin in sight at all.

The only complaint is the towels. They need renewing. Other than that we had a comfortable stay.

Loved the kitchen area and we seemed to congregate there fairly often. Didnât get to take advantage of the hot tub unfortunately. Only downsides were: 1. On arrival late at night after travelling some 15+ hrs, we were surprised & annoyed to find we had to undertake an obstacle course to get round scaffolding that blocked our way to the front entrance. After informing Sykes, we found out that the property owners were also unaware & it was their neighbour that had erected the scaffolding for access to their roof for repairs. 2. The mattress on the front 2nd floor bedrooms bed was not good, my son & his wife not sleeping well in that room because of this. He said that you could feel every spring and had little support. 3. Final point would be the addition of a 2nd toilet would have been appreciated by a family of 6 adults.
