I stayed in the Village as I was visiting a business office nearby. Check in was ok, but had to ask where the lifts were etc. The room was clean, pleasant and welcoming. I was in one of the larger club rooms. The free wi fi is ok, but painfully slow but its free so can't really moan too much... more

Just back from a two night break at the Village and had a FANTASTIC stay! I'm quite fussy about hotels and spend hours on sights like this one making sure I don't book somewhere dodgy. I was really pleased to find this a modern, comfortable and laid-back hotel, where I could happily have stayed another few nights. The hotel itself... more

Average hotel - ok if you want somewhere that's good value for a couple of nights but I have stayed in many better hotels. Negatives for me were as follows: - the first room we were given had a very odd/overpowering smell. In fairness we did get moved but only after I pushed for it - the original solution proposed... more

Having left my booking of accomodation until the very last minute to watch my son in his first Great North Run I came across The Village in Newcastle. Initially suspicious (all other hotels, bed and breakfasts and guest houses had been booked up weeks ago) I was both impressed and delighted to find a room at this very smart complex.... more

Having read some of the reviews, I wonder if I was staying at the same hotel!! We stayed for two nights, the first with dinner as part of the deal. The quality of the food was excellent, so much so that we decided to eat-in again on the second night opting for the £12.95 all-in Sunday lunch deal. Five courses,... more

We have been going to Whitley Bay/North Shields 3/4 times a year for over 10 years and have stayed in many hotels. This was the first time we chose to stay here, mainly attracted by the pool, which we thought our little boy of 4 would enjoy. The reception is lovely, easy and quick check-in, staff really friendly and smart... more

We stayed with our 2 young children in a family room for 2 nights b + b. We paid about £98 and were very pleased with all the amenities. The room was set up with 2 cots for us and was very clean. It was just big enough for the children to run about in the morning. We had a... more

I booked an all inclusive, dinner, bed and breakfast package for my family of four, at £69 per night. As an added bonus my children received wristbands which entitled them to free soft drinks for the duration of our stay. It was excellent value. I had a room in the original part of the hotel. My room was very clean... more

This was the first time I had travelled with my 5 month baby and this hotel really helped to make it easier. When we booked, we didnt request a cot, as I have a travel cot so just took that to save money. When we got there an extremely well presented cot had been put in the room in advance... more
