Review by hotel critic
During my recent trip to the Grotto in South Shields, I was captivated by its unique charm, nestled into the striking cliffs of Marsden Bay. The beachside location offers a fantastic view that leaves you in awe; my family and I often found ourselves transfixed by the gentle waves and the occasional dolphin sighting right from our window. I must commend the cozy restaurant built into the cave itself, where the food was not only excellent but also reasonably priced—a delightful surprise for any traveler. While the lift access adds a quirky touch, it also invites you to delve into the rich history of the area, reminiscent of the coastal retreats cherished in French culture. Its proximity to notable sites like the Arbeia Roman Fort allows for engaging day trips. I left with a hearty desire to return, ensuring that this remarkable place has carved a niche in my heart.
