Anyone local to Shields will have passed Tyne House perhaps without even realising! Located on Tanners Bank, Tyne House is one of those buildings that blends into its environment. Well kept, understated and unassuming, its integration into its surroundings are seamless. It’s what’s behind closed doors where it comes to life!
Hidden in plain sight, Tyne House, is a luxurious, purpose-built occasion house for up to 18 people that prides itself on giving the ‘space to enjoy your special occasion in any way you like! Where most properties shy away from large groups, Tyne House not only welcomes it but encourages it with open arms having hosted celebrations from birthdays, Christmas’ divorces, hosts of hens, squads of stags, flurries of families and wedding after parties that go on long into the weekend!
Opened in June 2023, the first guests, a group of stags, adorned the party pad from Birmingham and since then house has gone from strength to strength ever since, welcoming an array of guests from as near as our own doorstep and as far wide as Europe, with a few famous faces adorning the Fish Quay spot to celebrate special occasions with friends and family. Most recently local lass, Geordie Shore star and TV personality Vicky Pattison dwelled in the indulgent residence during the Christmas period for a Christmas weekend complete with an amazing Grazing Table from a locally sourced business.
Amy Pringle, owner of Tyne House described its inspiration having come from her own quest for a hen do venue. ‘When I was planning my hen, there were no venues in the North-East that offered what I was looking for – which was somewhere fun, that slept a group of people with hot tubs but was modern, luxurious and of course instagrammable! Our vision was to give the wow factor, something different that we hadn’t seen and bring this to the North-East. I think a lot of celebration house venues discriminate at times and only allow hen parties! We wanted to make sure all groups were welcome including mixed groups and stag parties.’
With stand-out features such as the guest powder room where guests can get ready together, not just one but two hot tubs with neon lighting, a fire pit seated outdoor area as well as a living and kitchen area built for the party, there’s an abundance of quirky yet comfortable qualities. But the pride of Tyne House is their five entirely unique decorated en-suite bedrooms – those being a beach room, dusky room, black & white room, purple room (with accompanying Bridgeton vibes) and a tropical room!
Those at Tyne House recognise that what makes them special is their location. ‘We have the bars and restaurants of North Shields Fish Quay as well as Tynemouth all on our doorstep and walking distance. We of course are also a 20 minute taxi drive into Newcastle city centre! A lot of houses like ours are based more rurally with no option to have a night in one night then a night out another. We always recommend visiting North Shields fish quay and Tynemouth for the restaurants and bars rather than solely going into Newcastle! We have a list of local recommendations in our welcome book and a highlight on our Instagram and website showcasing all the different places locally.’
Tyne House has thrived thanks to its confident approach making it, and North Shields, a go-to destination for unforgettable occasions. From the sight of gaggles of girls and bands of boys filling up the Fish Quay on a Friday or Saturday night, it’s clear that Tyne House isn’t just a party pad – it’s a business boon for the local area.
