Now and again you stay somewhere that exceeds your expectations. Here you get a really warm, helpful welcome from Hazel, attractive clean rooms, comfortable beds, a fabulous breakfast and easy parking in a quiet location. Although we booked in for only one night while attending a day at Keele university we would happily have stayed much longer. This is a... More

Another great stay for a week or so. Unfortunately the bad weather cut my stay short by a day. This time was highly entertaining with varied guests that you always meet in the morning. The same high standard of breakfast, cooked to your liking, thanks John! He can then be spotted during the day tweaking this and that in many... More

I stay here whilst studying at Keele University. The rooms are clean and cosy - I have not had a bad night's sleep yet! The breakfasts are brilliant and the warm and friendly welcome by John and Hazel is too. I have recommended this to fellow distance learning students and am looking forward to going back in April - I'm... More

Fresh, very tasty. - a great selection of high quality meats,... More

Comfortable room, first-class breakfast, easy parking, absolutely hits the spot. Graythwaite is usefully located within walking distance of Newcastle town centre, with a number of decent restaurants nearby. What makes it such a pleasant experience is the careful organisation and friendliness of Hazel and John.

I was greeted by Hazel who was so welcoming this immediately made me feel relaxed and confident that i had made the right choice. The personal touch you get from staying at the Graythwaite Guest house makes all the difference... More

We only stayed one night, but we were made to feel right at home. When we arrived after a long day of travel, John prepared tea and mince tarts and helped us settle in - a nice personal touch, much appreciated. The room was very clean and comfortable. The location was convenient with places to eat close by and a... More

I stayed at Graythwaite with Hazel and John for five weeks in September and October while I was on Fellowship at Keele University, and I must say that my experience was outstanding in every respect. I slept at one time or another in four of the bedrooms, and all were spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds and linens, and large... More

This really is an outstanding guest house. Simply put the owners Hazel and John cannot do enough for you. They go above and beyond your expectations in every conceivable way. You become part of "the family" for the duration of your stay. The breakfasts are of such a high standard you just want to sit there all day and eat,... More
