About this property
16 Seafield Terrace is a splendid, mid-terrace cottage situated in the coastal town of South Shields, just outside the hustle and bustle of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Set over three floors, this inviting abode is a lovely place to call home while exploring the attractions of South Tyneside, including many sandy beaches and seaside fun. Enter on the first floor, where you can come across the lounge; here you can put your feet up after a day of walking, tuning into the Smart TV in search of a favourite film, or simply enjoying the company of each other as you reflect on the day’s events. Move downstairs to the ground floor, discovering the kitchen/diner and its array of appliances, well-equipped to assist with home-cooking, or order in a local takeaway and pop open a bottle of fizz. From here you can access the enclosed patio, offering a sumptuous 7 person hot tub which is the perfect way to recover after a long day, while there is also a set of bistro table and chairs for enjoying lunch outside. As your eyes grow heavy, head upstairs to the bedrooms; on the first floor lies a king-size and a sumptuous bathroom where you can prepare for the day, while the second-floor hosts two king-size doubles and a single, each with neutral tones and touches. When you’re ready to explore, there’s lots to enjoy in this quaint coastal town; enjoy an exhibition of the fabulous South Shields Museum and Art Gallery, uncover years of history at the Tynemouth Priory and Castle nestled on a rocky headland, or head to the Ocean Beach Pleasure Park and enjoy a day of thrilling rides and fun fair activities. South Shields is also home to two wonderful parks, South and North Marine Park, where you can feed the ducks and swans at the boating lake and enjoy a miniature steam train ride, before stopping off for some hot sour cherries and ice cream at the café. If you wish to marvel at local sights, you can go for a scenic stroll along the coast to the renowned St. Mary’s Lighthouse, or travel a little further and check out the breath-taking Tynemouth Priory & Castle; or take a walk to the end of its pier to reach the Tynemouth Pier Lighthouse.

The location is perfect and the house itself is spacious and comfortable. The only downside was that we couldnât really make use of the hot tub as the artificial grass has a strong smell of dog urine. This aside, our stay was fabulous and so easy with the keyless entry. We never had a problem parking. Lots of spaces available on the opposite side of the road.

There was no hoover so with a baby, two young kids and a dog it was really missed, I didn't enjoy sitting on the floor playing with my 10 month old in dog hair. The other downside was there were no outdoor bins so we had piles of bin liners which wasn't ideal. I also missed some welcome things which we normally receive in a property such as a book detailing bin day collections, local area stuff, controls for the house etc. other than that, the decor was lovely, furniture was comfortable, kitchen was well equipped apart from a pair of scissors, location was great, wouldn't hesitate to book again.
