Top hotels in Fenham
The County Hotel, Newcastle
"Love the interior design of the hotel, the reception is beautiful the bar/restaurant looks lovely too, however room I was in wasn't up my my standards especially with what I paid. I think mini bar should be on request only and having a £50 holding fee/deposit is absurd. Won't be back again, was nice ..."
