Helena Thompson Museum

Lovely, cosy, dog friendly pub. Out two night stay was comfortable with great menu choice.

Really nice B&B, close to Scafell which was perfect for travelling there and back in a short time after a long hike. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely stay again!

Well, not for the feint hearted and always read the small print when booking this hotel. I was in a separate building literally above the 2 busiest pubs in the area! But, tbf there was no excessive noise after midnight! I now know why it was cheap, though! The room was functional and clean. I even had a little table where I could do some work. And I could watch footbal from my bedroom window as I could see the outside TV in the pub's garden area. I was still young enough (at 54) to appreciate youngster's enjoying themselves. Newcastle centre was a 30 min walk and was on a direct bus routed. Lovely boutique cafe's and bakery shops close by. Just don't choose this place if you want quiet or are a light sleeper! Biggest gripe was the shower because it had the appalling sweet spot where a millimetre turn on the dial it was freezing cold or piping hot (and I mean piping!).
