We have never been to South Shields before so this was a new adventure for us. Yes we would almost definitely come back. Our stay at the Sir William Fox Hotel has to be one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at. They offer that extra special personal touch that makes you feel that you are not just a... More

Sadly stayed for only one night, more would have been good. Bright and cheerful staff on arriving, small bar for a drink before dinner which offered a table d'hote menu which was delicious and had that home cooked appeal. The room was clean, albeit a tad small, but it was a single with ensuite facilities. Breakfast again cheerfully served by... More

I was impressed by the cleanliness of this hotel and the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff throughout my stay. My breakfast was cooked individually after placing my order and was delicious. Everything about my stay was at least as good as hotels where I have stayed costing 3 times as much. It is obvious that the owners are making... More

I always try and stop when in the area, half the price of comparable hotels, just as good if not better than chain hotels. The only minor issue is that the restaurant has a limited menu, however there is an Italian, Chinese and Indian restaurant within 50 yards, plus 2 pubs one serving food.

Great value with spacious comfortable room and plentiful breakfast. Although we arrived early they were very friendly as we waited for our room to be ready.The bar prices were very reasonable although they will benefit from having a separate bar area, planned for the future.

We were given a room on the second floor and after a night out to celebrate our nieces 18th birthday we returned to the hotel just before midnight. Spare the emergency lighting in corridors and stairs the hotel was totally devoid of electricity. Internal telephone not working, we went back down to the reception desk, to enquire if the hotel...

I stayed one night in their Suite room, very clean, large and well appointed (with iron, tea, biscuits, big TV, comfy bed etc.). My trip was a bit of a last minute rush and there were very few rooms that night available in South Shields due to some sort of company function; this was the only room I could find... More
