"It is a quirky place. Looks very plain from the front but was a lovely place to stay. Great service from arrival to departure. Food was superb. After checking out we were on our way to Sunderland when we realised we hadn't tipped the staff so, we turned back and did so. That's how good it was. Will definitely return."

"Excellent place! Very clean and comfortable."

"A lovely B B with central location. Beautiful sea front walk only 5min walk from property. Owner Nisha kind and welcoming. Will be staying here again on my next visit to South Shields."

"Lovely big room and Bathroom, very clean. Friendly helpful staff. No noise from pub below and it was a Saturday Night. Lots of eateries around and very central. Hairdryer and fan in room. "

"I advise everyone, DO NOT STAY at this property, keep on looking for something else. The rooms smelt of smoke, the hallways and stairs smelt like a bar, the people’s staying in the other rooms looked dodgy, this place is a craic den, and to top it all off the owners didn’t care about the issues. "

"The property was perfect for our stay ,the parking was only issue as the other car parked had taken 3/4 of the bay .not the host fault. "

"Lovely quiet spot outside of Bellingham. Plenty of space, dog friendly with great views. Spotless accommodation, with all you need in the property including a dishwasher (which we didn’t use). I met the lady who ran the place and she was pleasant and nice. "

"Our stay at the Westgate Manor was one of the best hotel experiences we have had. Hosts, Stuart and Kathryn give a very high standard of personal service to us and made our short stay memorable. The Manor offers fantastic accommodation and a truly wonderful experience with young dear in the garden in the early morning and three peacocks roaming around! We will be back. Thank you."
