We stayed here for one night to celebrate my husband's birthday. Junior suite in the 'New House' (room 38) was spacious and comfortable, although I was disappointed not to have a bath, and the shower although large had a small fixed shower head which was too low for my 5ft 11 husband, and he hit his head on it. Not luxurious enough bathroom for a suite by any means. Dinner was at best mediocre. My soused sardines were overpowered by the accompaniments of green olive tapenade and goat's cheese, while a ham hock terrine ordered by my husband had a small amount of completely tasteless pease pudding. We both chose duck for our main courses, and returned them to the kitchen as both pieces were tough. Breakfast was good but we had a lengthy wait as our order had been lost. Finally on check out £44 had been added to our bill for champagne and canapés when this should have been included in our celebration package. I really wanted to say this was perfect, but it wasn't.

We had stayed in a classic room earlier in the year and had cause to complain about the room. The hotel management graciously afforded us an invitation to return and we had an altogether more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The room was airy with large windows and overlooked the gardens and part of the car park. Last time we had stayed it had been a Saturday night in September. We arranged to return on a Saturday in October but unfortunately had to cancel due to illness. We assumed then that we had missed our chance. However, it appeared that the invitation still stood and we returned on a Wednesday in November. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived. The staff were as friendly and professional as we had remembered and the food once again to die for. The young waiter knew his cheese board and was able to advise on my selection. Breakfast also offered an array of choice. We left the hotel rested and refreshed. Will we return? You bet!

We stayed 7th July with my husband’s parents for his birthday. We had booked a Junior Suite but as I had a problem with my leg, on check-in, we requested to move rooms and asked for one with a walk in shower. The reception staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Within a few minutes we had moved into a beautiful room with a wonderful wet room.

As it was my husband’s birthday we decided to have the tasting menu for dinner, which was out of this world. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented. The cornbeef hash was amazing and the chocolate and banana sphere was to die for. It was so good we decided to do it all again and have booked to return for my mother-in-laws birthday at the end of November.

We try to visit the hotel at least once a month for lunch or dinner and love to treat ourselves and stay overnight. The hotel is a gorgeous place to relax and unwind with wonderful, attentive staff and delicious food. What more could you ask for.

Magnificent

Jesmond dene house is wonderful venue for a wedding reception My daughter and son in laws choice of venue couldnt have been better the staff are so attentive and welcoming.The bedroom was spotlessly clean and the most amazing huge bath and under floor heating. The whole hotel has a relaxing atmosphere with plenty rooms where you can just chill.I dont live far from this little oasis in the middle of Newcastle and I am looking forward to testing their sunday lunches.I have only one small moan the breakfast although nice I did not think it was anything special for the price £17.00 This is a great hotel in the heart of Newcastle if you are planning a wedding its a great choice.
