Properties Unique | Arbeia

SUMMARY

South Shields is a traditional coastal town and is one of the region's most popular resorts. The town's Sandhaven Beach claimed the Sunday Times Beach of the Year in 2022. As well as the golden sands and spectacular skies, the beaches offer the dramatic natural backdrop of Trow Rocks and the Leas.

Arbeia, which is in a quiet residential area of the town known as Lawe Top, is ideally located to explore the Northeast and Northumberland yet within easy walking distance to the town and the beach. The apartment has a lovely view of the mouth of the mighty River Tyne as it enters the North Sea. Guests have reported that the sunsets are amazing!

Recently refurbished to a high standard, the apartment is a self-contained modern, fresh two-bedroom property, ideal for families, friends and business stays alike.

Pets are generally accepted but prior approval is required and an additional fee may apply.
