The room that we booked was not as advertised on the website, we chose a superior double as not too many stairs but the room we were given was another flight of stairs up. Had to phone the hotel number as no one available to talk to in person but in saying that was quickly resolved and a ground floor room was thankfully available. I mentioned website as also advertised a lounge/bar for guests but this apparently had not been open since Covid! Suggested website requires updating. Breakfast included was a continental only unless upgraded for £15pp for hot food. Continental was sufficient.

Scott & Liz are fantastic hosts, going above and beyond for their guests. The hotel is conveniently located for all amenities. It’s beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was awesome.

Bring your own toiletries

Room was tidy, but hot. Noise from the main road and guests conversation clearly could be heard from next rooms specially after midnight. The worst part, no toiletries supplied. Therefore could not take showers for a couple of days. Even hand soap not supplied.

Gem of a place to stay

Another lovely stay. Welcoming staff who explain everything and show you to your room. Room clean and modern, albeit a little small. Everything you need. Parking is great in a quiet area. Breakfast superb

A real home from home, with a welcome that just keeps colleagues and myself to use the Clifton time and time again.

Excellent service & staff. All staff found to be very friendly. Breakfast menu good. Property about half a mile from centre of south shields with metro & bus stations. Pleasant walks through local parks & along coast nearby. Parking - widely available as free spaces outside along whole length of road & nearby side roads. Our car left entire duration of our stay as we made use of very good public transport. Excellent base for staying near Newcastle or travelling nearby. Would definitely recommend as a suitable destination.

It is obvious that this family has had 5-star hotel experience. The room was beautiful, clean, and well-appointed. The food choices were myriad for breakfast, and I could see why the people of the city go there for breakfast, brunch, coffee, and lunch. The staff were friendly, and expeditious.
