"Fantastic location. Ideal for what we needed but also really rural-feeling and peaceful. We found it quiet and charming. We enjoyed wandering in amongst the old orchard and down through the copse, across the scrubland that forms part of the floodplain of the Tyne. It was good to know there are badgers around although we weren’t lucky enough to see anyway. The dawn chorus was impressive. Very pleasant indeed. Definitely will book again if we’re back in the area. "

Maldron Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice clean hotel, good breakfast and nicely made for a buffet. The staff was mostly all very helpful and friendly, bar staff especially. Hotel is in a good location, with lots to do locally. Parking is not great so plan before you arrive."

The Gibside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel beds where comfy bar was nice decent size tv in the room nice view from window"

Metro Inns Newcastle

8/10 Good

"The close proximity to Newcastle Airport for a night arrival was the main reason for selecting this hotel to avoid high taxi prices into town. The price was very reasonable compared to other hotels nearby. The room was clean and in good condirion but the hanging electrical wires to the TV gave a vey untidy appearance. I was not impressed with the soap dispensers in all the showers being empty. The reception said this was because no-one was using the soap and they did not want to waste the soap going off if not used. Not impressed with this explanation so you need to take your own shower gel for this hotel!!!!!"
