Our South Shields Guest House welcomes children of all ages although you'll need to provide your own cot and cot bedding with you when you stay with us (we're sure you understand that this is for health and safety reasons). There is floor space for a travel cot in most, but not all rooms so please contact us before booking if you plan to arrive with an infant.
Our South Shields Guest House does not make any extra charge for infants in cots and we offer guests the use of a fridge and microwave in our dining room which you may find useful for heating up babies bottles and food during your stay.

Annie's Guest House is a centrally located South Shields bed and breakfast close to Bents Park and Bents Recreation Ground. Bents Park being the main concert venue for the free annual South Tyneside Summer Festival. We offer South Shields B&B accommodation just a few hundred metres from South Marine Park and the adjacent North Marine Park. Both of which include numerous children's outdoor activity areas.

Our South Shields Guest House is just a few hundred yards from South Marine Park where you can find a boating lake with ducks and swans, a miniature steam railway and child climbing/play area. North Marine Park is adjacent to South Marine Park and is just a few minutes walk from our Guest House.

Our family-friendly South Shields Guest House is within close walking distance of North Marine Park where you can find bowling greens, several outdoor activity areas for children and a putting green.
South Shields beach is (unsurprisingly!) at the bottom of our street and on a fine summer day looks something like this:
The bottom of our street is also the home of Ocean Beach Pleasure Park which can be seen in these videos...
Finally, this is a video of Ocean Beach, Quasar and Dune's Bowling Alley all located a few minutes walk from our guest house...
