South Tyneside Hospital Trip Advisor Review

Home > Tyne & Wear > South Shields > Harton > South Tyneside Hospital

We received a lovely Trip Advisor online review from a temporary staff member (locum) who has been staying with us for the past few months for her shifts at South Tyneside Hospital on Harton Lane in South Shields, NE34 0PL.

Trip Advisor Review For South Tyneside Hospital Harton Lane South Shields Accommodation

Great Location for South Tyneside District Hospital.

After gaining employment at STDH I was concerned at my travelling time from North Yorkshire. I looked into hospital accomodation but nothing was particularly useful to me… I googled “Hospital Accomadation, South Shields” and up sprung Annie’s Guesthouse. Wow! What a gem! I have now stayed here on several occasions and each time I’ve been greeted like an old friend and made to feel welcome.

I have stayed in a single, double and the family room (though only booked double!) and each and every room has been clean, tidy and contained everything you could require for an overnight stay. I will admit that I prefer the single rooms for their cosiness – Staying away from home along can be lonely and the family room was huge for just me. Linda is very friendly and super efficient checking you in and sorting out room codes even for late check-ins as hospital shifts can be a little unreliable for getting off at time. Well, I needn’t have worried. Everything was sorted for me and I was able to arrive without problem. My room was cleaned whilst I was at work every day and all the facilities replenished.

The breakfast is good – June is evidently very experienced in providing this service as I have received whatever I have ordered within about 10 minutes of arriving downstairs. Not only this, but the website advertises breakfast from 7.30 – June has happily facilitated an earlier breakfast in view of hospital shifts and I have not been limited in what I can order due to the early arrival. Breakfast is tasty – Cereal and juice followed by cooked breakfast. You eat your cereal whilst June cooks breakfast – Obviously if you choose not to have cereal then you can sit and drink your tea watching TV waiting for your breakfast.

Checking out is no bother – They take cards or cash and you can sort it out over breakfast and I’ve never been left waiting around to pay whilst June is busy.

I will definitely be staying there again – I’ve already booked for my next 2-3 weeks of shifts!

River Tyne River Trips 2012

Home > Tyne & Wear > South Shields > Shields Ferry

Summer river trips on the River Tyne start tomorrow, running from 4th May until 7th September 2012.

Shields Ferry River Trips 2012

There are many different trips to choose from and are a unique way to view some of the historic sights along the banks of the River Tyne and to see the modern new developments taking shape along the river.

The three hour river trips sail between South Shields and Newcastle upon Tyne, as far as Newcastle and Gateshead Quaysides where you will get to see and sail under Gateshead’s iconic Gateshead Millennium Bridge.

Entertainment is provided on many of the river trips with something to suit all the family from live river commentaries, sing-a-longs to fish & chip trips – all of which are regular features of their scheduled summer programme of events.

A variety of children’s entertainment also runs throughout the school summer holidays.

Our bed and breakfast accommodation in South Shields is a few minutes walk from the Shields Ferry terminal where the River Tyne river trips depart and return to.

Shields Ferry River Trips 2012 are…

Sundays – Animal Encounters (2 hours)
Small ones, fat ones, long, thin, scaly ones… bring the children along to experience the delights of our cute and cuddly (or even scary!) animals as they sail along the River Tyne.

They’ll get the opportunity to hold rabbits and mice, a majestic owl and, if they’re really brave… even a snake and a
tarantula!

Whether it’s their first animal encounter or if you want to help them overcome any fears… what better way to
do it than combining it with a relaxing river trip.

Ferry departs 1pm returns 3pm.

Have your photo taken with the animals as a special reminder of the day!

Fridays and Sundays – Children’s Entertainer (2 hours)
Bring the children along to enjoy an afternoon on our fun-filled party boat!

Music, games, face painting and balloon-making are sure to occupy their time, all while you sit back and enjoy a relaxing trip on the ferry… or you can always join in the fun yourself!

A river trip is also a great and educational way to point out the historical places of interest around the river
banks of our local area which your children may not otherwise get to see!

Ferry departs 1pm returns 3pm.

Sunday Afternoon River Trips (3 hours)
Enjoy a unique experience on-board the Shields Ferry which lets you take in the sights and delights of the riverbanks along the River Tyne.

Sailing to the mouth of the River Tyne and then on to Newcastle upon Tyne and back again you’ll see many historic monuments along the way and listen to a fascinating live commentary, brought to you by
one of our guides.

Places of interest include The Customs House, North Shields Fish Quay, the memorial to Admiral Lord Collingwood and the old River Tyne Shipyards.

You’ll also see the amazing transformations which have taken place on Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead Quaysides and get to sail under the Gateshead Millennium Bridge!

Ferry departs 1pm returns 4pm.

A fun and leisurely way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Fridays – Tyne Tours (1 hours)
For a local insight into life around the river banks of North Tyneside and South Tyneside join this delightful cruise.

As you sail to the mouth of the River Tyne, past North Shields Fish Quay and Tynemouth Priory & Castle you’ll listen to an informative taped commentary about the history of the river in the surrounding area.

Places of interest along the way include The Customs House, International Passenger Terminal, Royal Quays and Jarrow Slake.

Many other sites from the River Tyne’s industrial past and present can also be seen.

Ferry departs 1:30pm, returns 3pm.

A great way to relax at the end of the week!

Fridays and Sundays – Fish & Chip Trips (2 hours)
Indulge in some finger-licking style fish and chips whilst watching the River Tyne sail by!

After setting off you’ll head towards the mouth of the River Tyne where you’ll listen to an informative taped commentary about our local river history.

Your fish and chips* will be delivered directly to you and as you sail along your meal can be enjoyed by simply being eaten straight from the box – leaving you to roam the boat at your leisure.

Be sure not to miss out on any views of the river!

Ferry departs 1pm returns 3pm.

Combine some great local food with a fun afternoon cruise!

*Note: fish and chips (adults & concessionary) cod bites (children).

Limited seating available.
