We've stayed here three times as it's convenient for trips to Scotland and we have a friend in Ouston. The staff are always super friendly, the rooms are tastefully done, and there is plenty of safe parking. The breakfasts are good as are the dinners. more

We have stayed here twice now- in May 2009 and again in August. I usually go for 4-5* hotels, but this was near the relatives we were visiting & it seemed good value compared to the newcastle city centre so we thought we'd give it a try. And I'm glad we did! The 1st stay we had a room in... more

We were made very welcome, and given 3 double outside rooms which I thought was a great idea. To be away from the main body of the hotel was really nice, very private, clean, and comfortable.

The race night itself was brilliant and some of the procedes were going to comic relief. The stay in the... more

Enjoyed a midweek break here with friends in early march. The Hotel has a unique location in that driving straight off the A1 at Gateshead you find yourself in a countryside setting really close to Metro Centre and Newcastle. Externally the hotel has a quaint old fashioned appeal however inside is modern and comfortable. The rooms had all you wanted... more

My mother and myself visited today after a hard days shopping only to find that most of the menu was overpriced for the amount of food you receive. I ordered a baguette and found it overpowered by mustard with cold ships and the salad garnish being a couple of leaves of rocket with nothing else. My mother ordered a piri... more

The largest room (think its number 6) is generally let as a family room however this is directly over the ladies toilets and exit from... more
