Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Newcastle, with beautiful rural surroundings and easy access to local attractions. The rooms, although a bit tired, are carpeted and offer a tranquil setting. The dining experience is excellent, especially the gluten-free breakfast options. The hotel's view of the Angel of the North is a highlight, but noise from thin walls can be a drawback.
The room was spacious enough for our short stay with a fantastic window view of the Angel statue. Unfortunately, we faced an electricity issue due to a burst water pipe from 10 pm to 6 am. Additionally, the added breakfast was non-refundable, leading to £19 wasted as we didn't enjoy it on the second day.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms needed some maintenance and weren't as luxurious as expected, the stay was still decent overall. The service was satisfactory, though with some minor issues that impacted the experience. The location had its charms but was marred by dated facilities. The dining experience was hit-and-miss, and the facilities were average at best.
