Check in simple and straightforward with friendly receptionist. Took four teenage boys in the pool and lady on desk was happy and extremely welcoming. A lady was doing a swimming lesson, couples, young families and a rugby team were using the facilities and it was a great atmosphere. Room clean and perfect for an overnight stop over. Would stay again.

Generally the hotel was OK.
I was a bit shocked to find that there was a £7 charge to use the pool, I asked to have a look at it before paying and it is a little tiny kidney shaped thing that is no good for actually swimming, more a dip pool. So didn't bother.
Next, on this particular night the card machines went down and as it is a cashless hotel no one was able to purchase anything from the bar/restaurant. They couldn't even book it to the room. This was until one of the customers managed to get them to do it the old fashioned way by using the paper swipe machine.

Facade looks great like reception and front room/restaurant.
However, reception staff not engaging at all. Contacted the hotel for a request as celebrating a special day but no response nor from the reception when checked-in.
Room is dated and dusty - cupboards/wardrobe has been forgotten together with the skirting boards on the hallways.
Breakfast is appalling. Hash brown tasted like fried from an old oil with varied flavours. Food was not topped up. Enquired for a top up for a croissant but got no feedback. Cold juices were bland and tasted like diluted with water.
Amenities like pool and gym are NOT FREE!!!! Have to pay £7/8 to use. Been to other hotels before and these amenities were free. The reason I book this is on the amenities hence disappointed.
Over all not a great experience for what I have paid for on our special day. Not worth the money.

We stayed here during the duration of my professional exams, which was being held at the same venue. The bar and restaurant provide good food at good prices. The lobby, restaurant and halls are nicely decorated.

When we first checked in, we were initially given a room which was already occupied by someone. The person who served us didn’t volunteer any information on her own either, about how to get our room, or where breakfast will be served. This basic information was only provided on asking.

The room was old and tired, the curtains were dusty and didn’t cover the whole length of the windows with an overlap, the pillow was hard and extremely uncomfortable, and the air conditioning didn’t cool at all.
Our room also had a connecting door to the adjacent room, which let in a lot of noise from that room.

One of the bath towels had a dried and deep blood stain on it.

The tables in the bar area were sticky and it took well over 40 minutes before glasses were collected but even then, the tables were not sprayed and cleaned. Having a coffee first thing in the morning and the table was still sticky.

The air conditioning in our room never worked - we had a fan but that is no substitute for AC. Sleep was all but impossible in the roasting heat - and I can sleep almost anywhere and in any circumstances.

The power went off during the night and this set off the alarms in each room every few minutes until the power came back on.

The staff were friendly and very welcoming, but we won't be staying here again. I don't expect to come home from a weekend away needing a few days to recover since a spate of stag weekends in my 20's.

Booked through Expedia as a double but we were given a twin. When we asked for a double as per booking the only option was to pay an upgrade fee of £25. Not really the hotel's fault as the information came through incorrectly from Expedia. The double room we received in the end was fine. Food & service for both dinner and breakfast was good. Don't book the breakfast through Expedia though as it is £3 per person cheaper if you pay for it at reception.

The surrounding woods are nice for an evening walk.

On the whole its a good hotel. Looks like lots of weddings at weekends.

Facilities were really good and staff were great. The room was really spacious considering I went for the cozy double size. It had everything I needed, a fan (it was very hot that day), tea-making equipment, an iron, hairdryer, soap, good size TV, parking was free and easy. Room was clean but not spotless. Bed was springy and not supportive so I didn't sleep that well though. I also used the spa for the hot tub and swim, which was a lovely start to the day, but playing pop anthems at 7am over the music system was a bit much for me, I prefer my spa experience to be chill. Also paid for the breakfast, which was very basic fare, the scrambled eggs were quite strange and rubbery, but the veggie sausages cooked to order were good. If they changed the mattress, music, and improved the breakfast I would give it 5 stars.

When i mentioned it to the reception staff. They just said they we should have booked it directly with the hotel. So it was misleading on the hotels.com app and they staff were not obliging. It has left a bad taste to the weekend. Won't be gong back as a result.

The room was clean. The door was a bit broken and one or two fittings needed to be replaced (very minor issues). The staff couldn't have been more helpful, the breakfast was excellent. My only observation on that was that not all the hot items were on the buffet at the same time. Not the biggest problem but I like to get my food and sit down without having to keep getting up to see if the fried eggs and black pudding had appeared. Having said that, this will definitely be our first choice of hotel when we come back to Newcastle. One other suggestion- it would be helpful to have a footpath from the entrance gate to the hotel door.

First impressions are good. The windows all need replacing however and our room was very cold until we kept the curtains closed and stuffed them behind the radiator. Overall, the room seemed clean and mostly smart but when you look closer, it’s time for a make-over. Switch to refillable toiletries, our room wasn’t made up despite our asking.
I believe Britannia now own this building so not optimistic this hotel can be restored to the flag-ship upmarket hotel it once was. Lots of money needed to even re-glaze the building and £47 per night isn’t enough.

The room was spacious as was the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. Plenty of wardrobe space. However it wasn't a quiet room due to the lack of double glazed windows - we overlooked the carpark so could hear noise from there. There were several quick fixes which would've made our stay more enjoyable. Bedroom doors need oiling so that guests can't hear constant squeaking. Plug holes need unblocking as the bath fills with water when you shower. A lamp would be useful on the dressing table/desk as would more accessible sockets by the beds. Stain/varnish furniture which looks dated and scratched. Extra pillows for beds.
