What a great hotel! The staff are all so lovely. There's loads of parking on site and the hotel's very modern. My room was perfect with a very comfortable bed and a lovely modern bathroom. I will definitely stay here again.

Excellent staff, Excellent facilities and Excellent location makes this one of the best hotels we have stayed in last 45 years of travelling around in this country. Being able to charge your EV car and park it for £5 per night while you fly from Newcastle International Airport which is less than 15 mins taxi ride from here. We will definitely stay here again, next time we need a hotel in Newcastle.

Modern, clean, well-designed and decorated. Very friendly staff, good breakfast and, despite having a room over-looking a main road, I wasn't disturbed by any traffic noise. Plenty of car parking space. One improvement could be the bedside lamps as, given the height of the bed, it was difficult to get enough light on a book to read it.

The room decor was great and different to other mainstream chains. The Three Mile restaurant attached to the hotel was great as was the breakfast menu with specials. Parking was no problem and free, and the airport was only 15 minutes away.

Booked as we were visiting the race course, great location with pub attached, short taxi ride to Newcastle, gosforth and jesmond. The room was lovely with nice touches like bottled water etc, the bed bed was huge, it was a zip link bed but we found it way to soft for our liking and didn’t get the best nights sleep unfortunately but other than that great hotel, also had free 3.7kw charge ports which we were really pleased about
