“The Sea Hotel benefits from a superb location directly opposite the amusements and beaches of South Shields. Recent refurbishments have refreshed the decor, and the inclusion of Asian fusion cuisine at Buddha Lounge marks a welcome departure from standard hotel fare. I think this hotel stands out for blending seaside leisure with surprising culinary ambition.”
