The Magpies Nest ~ Guest House The Magpie's Nest is a beautiful old house set in a terraced row of bed and breakfasts (B&B) and guesthouses in South Shields, South Tyneside, and is owned by Billy and Chris Taylor. When they bought the property in September 2002 it was in serious need of TLC. Steve and Jan Phillips set about lovingly restoring the property with enthusiasm and a wad of cash. They've tried not to spoil the character of this charming old house but did not want it to be yet just another guesthouse with frilled duvets, floral curtains, clashing carpets and bad taste floral arrangements. The accommodation is modern with simple bare walls, tasteful prints, pristine bed linens and superior fittings in all the en-suite rooms. The Magpies Nest ~ Guest House The rooms all have a standard look. Creams and reds, which give this B&B a homely but spacious feel. Private en-suite facilities with power showers, Sky/TV/Video including Sky Premiership and Sky Movie Channels. Hairdryers and irons are available and all the rooms have tea-making facilities. Blackout blinds are fitted so that weekenders can enjoy a precious lie-in or poor nightshift workers can catch some much-needed shut-eye during the week. Super king-size beds are standard throughout. The Magpies Nest ~ Guest House It's Steve and Jan Phillips aim to spoil whoever is patronising the B&B and they do this with ease by offering good quality accommodation with good auld Geordie hospitality.
