Travelling to Newcastle for work, I stayed here on my own and I was very happy I'd chosen Chaucer Palms. I felt it certainly qualified for the boutique tag. My room upstairs was extemely clean and comfortable, no tea and coffee in room but I had only to pop downstairs and help myself which made sense as it's a small... More

We have just returned from a night in Chaucer Palms B&B. We have stayed in many hotels, apartments and B&Bs and were very disappointed with our choice this time. Room was lovely and clean. The bed - a kingsize- had a gaping hole down the middle where the two kingsingles had been put together....not at all comfortable or romantic as... More

Stayed here on a work trip for two nights and enjoyed my stay. The B&B is close to Beaumont street, there is ample street parking and it is very accessible to enter after hours with the code. The owners are friendly and offered wine and cheese on arrival and the place is very clean. The breakfast was made by Julie... More

We loved it here. Julie was very friendly and helpful. We arrived after hours and we had no problems with accessing our room (upstairs) with the codes provided. The room was immaculate and the bed superb. My husband and I slept very soundly. Even though the room overlooked the street (and we were staying on a Wednesady night), there was... More

Wow...what a great little find this is. It looks brand spanking new but it's actually a few years old. It's sparkling clean and very well set out. The owner is a delight who could not have been more welcoming or friendly. The room was lovely with big spa bath (which I enjoyed). And the bed was really plush and comfortable.... More

We stayed here because it was so close to the Entertainment Centre and were very pleasantly surprised at the modern clean comfortable accomodation! Julie is a very friendly host and served a lovely breakfast! I would definately stay there again if I went to another show at the Entertainment Centre!

We really enjoyed our stay at Chaucer Palms B & B. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. It was conveniently located and only a short walk to restaurants & cafes in Hamilton and only a short drive to the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, where we saw a show. Our room was spotlessly clean, modernly... More

We stayed at Chaucer Palms for only one night - and will stay there again on future trips to Newcastle. The B&B is as stylish and comfortable as its website indicates. Julie was a friendly and professional host, with just the right mix. She was also tremendously accommodating about various changes in our travel plan.

Modern utilitarian premises, with paper thin walls, noisy key entry, nosy hostess and a bed that was akin to sleeping on a rock. We selected this B & B based on Trip Advisor reviews. We especially noted the comments about the quality of the bed. Not so. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. Guests do like privacy and the '20... More
