Although I was asked to leave after I made a comment on a few things that were wrong i e wash basin loose light pull switch not working and no disabled bays the rest was spot on lovely bed shower TVs etc . had a nice stay I was there for a funeral and didn't appreciate being asked to leave as I was quite happy with location and the room and price

Fantastic, authentic castle with such history and higgledy piggledy corridors. It was our anniversary and we were welcomed with an anniversary card which was a nice touch. The staff were excellent. We only had breakfast which was delicious and staff were efficient and friendly. The food in the library looked good. We had a courtyard room and were very happy with it. If you're expecting modern, corporate decor it might not be for you but we liked it and so nice to stay in a castle with character....

Fantastic stay. Great location. Staff wonderful. Great breakfast Highly recommend

A great property with leisure facilities and parking close to Durham (<10 minute drive or park and ride opposite carriageway) Room was lovely but surprised no air conditioning or fridge and it did get a little hot overnight

The staff and ambience of the hotel were lovely and we were sad that we couldn't stay longer.

Friendly and attentive staff . Nice atmosphere ..would come back again

Hotel was lovely and great that they have saved a beautiful old building.

Diddn't use parking or spa but hotel was very convenient for the city centre. Dining room a bit cold. Excellent choice at breakfast and evening meals tasty.

Everything was great, even the weather. Friendly hosts, good breakfast, great view from the room, parking.

Friendly and helpful at check in and throughout stay. Easy parking. Handy to have on-site gym & spa short walk from the hotel. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Shower room recently renovated to high standard.

Better than expected. Don’t write off these hotels. Way nicer than many upmarket properties out there.

Excellent service and great location

lovely hotel, good food and a wonderful location. Woods just beyond the car park. DIdn't like the Internet connection though. It looked like I risked getting spam forever.

The room was lovely and clean, service very good. Breakfast was ok. The restaurant food was lovely

A very impressive and imposing hotel that's clearly benefited from a multi-million pound revamp in the last year. I was offered a voucher each day for a free pint in return for foregoing daily housekeeping services and I thought this was a nice perk. Breakfasts are of the self-service variety and generally everything was in good supply, although all the croissants had gone occasionally. All in all an excellent base for a stay in Tynemouth, a gem of the North East.

The rooms are excellent. Lovely and clean. Food in the restaurant is nothing short of amazing. I can recommend the steak and kidney pudding. Best I have ever tasted
