Hoppers Cottage Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great little find. Free parking, next to the bus stop, great Italian next door, staff really helpful and great amenities, what else could you need! Was 2 adult friend and teen daughter, was perfect 👌"

Hedgefield House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hedgefield House is quiet, comfortable, and has great charm. The garden and grounds are beautiful. The staff are not at all intrusive, but very helpful. We had two nights only, but I'd have been happy to spend more time there, and to enjoy the place. On the downside, there is no restaurant, but you can't have everything! There was plenty of in-room refreshment. I have family in the area, and I hope to stay at Hedgefield House again on my next visit."

Michelangelos

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff. Great restaurant & enjoyable place to stay."

Novotel Newcastle Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed at this hotel (2 adults) for one night and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The reception staff were professional, helpful and polite, and our room was spotless and comfortable. The bar and restaurant were lovely and cosy, with very friendly staff. The food was great and very reasonably priced, which was a lovely surprise. We would definitely come back and would happily recommend this hotel to others. 5 stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Cottage - Sleeps 2 - Garden - Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location. Ideal for what we needed but also really rural-feeling and peaceful. We found it quiet and charming. We enjoyed wandering in amongst the old orchard and down through the copse, across the scrubland that forms part of the floodplain of the Tyne. It was good to know there are badgers around although we weren’t lucky enough to see anyway. The dawn chorus was impressive. Very pleasant indeed. Definitely will book again if we’re back in the area. "
