"Hotel exceed exceeded expectations. Very high standard and exceptional service"

"This could be a fantastic hotel but unfortunately the facilities are very lacking. This hotel doesn’t serve lunch or evening meals as they don’t have a chef yet. As this place is a bit out of the way it wasn’t what we were expecting. We had paid for 2 nights but left after 1. We booked a deluxe room with garden view. Deluxe it definitely was not. The shower cubicle had the previous guest hair on the walls. Not for us and we wouldn’t return. Could be a fabulous place. Hats off to the guy running the place who seems to be the receptionist, cleaner, barman & breakfast cook rolled into 1. "

"We loved our bed and view from our bed over the green space. I had pocahed eggs and vegetarian sausages made to order which was a good start to the day."

"Nice comfortable stay with easy access to Newcastle City Centre by 15 mins on the bus, bus stop is on the main road just outside the hotel. Included breakfast was also very good and plenty of it, the hot croissants were excellent. Great staff who were very friendly and helpful - thankyou "

"The staff at the reception are very helpful 👌 "

"Really good..friendly staff"

"Definitely worth a visit. We only stayed for one night but we will be back. Staff all unbelievably good. Food exceptional. Very quiet. Really good nights sleep. Highly recommend this hotel. We also did the free history tour of the castle. Do not miss this as it includes a visit to the roof to take in the views."
