Cottage - Sleeps 2 - Garden - Parking

2.8 km from George Stephenson's Birthplace

"Fantastic location. Ideal for what we needed but also really rural-feeling and peaceful. We found it quiet and charming. We enjoyed wandering in amongst the old orchard and down through the copse, across the scrubland that forms part of the floodplain of the Tyne. It was good to know there are badgers around although we weren’t lucky enough to see anyway. The dawn chorus was impressive. Very pleasant indeed. Definitely will book again if we’re back in the area. "

Top George Stephenson's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Newcastle Gateshead by IHG

8/10 Good

"Very very friendly staff. All were excellent and very helpful. Great location. Very fair price. Tidy hotel. Decent free breakfast included. Only downsides: No ev chargers (not the end of the world as metrocentre is nearby and has plenty) No AC in the room Carpark could get quite full and didnt seem the most secure My biggest pet peeve is the lack of power sockets at both sides of the bed. Not the only hotel i’ve stayed at with this issue! I just have no idea who decided to design hotel rooms like this. Overall very useful stopover for a trip to Scotland."

Gorgeous cottage in rural idyl, sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent

"Bright and light property, with a living room that was comfortable with a great television and big windows that looked out over stunning countryside views. It was a pleasure to relax there. Our host Peter was helpful and friendly if we needed him, but otherwise allowed us our privacy. I cannot fault the property, from where we were able to drive to all the interesting places that we wanted to see."

Michelangelos

8/10 Good

"Lovely, clean, and comfortable room. The bed and mattress were of excellent quality, and I had a very good night's sleep. We had dinner in the restaurant, which was fantastic. The portions were generous, and the food was of a very high standard. We stayed in the family room and, unfortunately, there was a noticeable iron burn mark in the middle of the carpet. Breakfast was cooked to order, with tea and coffee available on request. Overall, the breakfast was enjoyable. However, the sausages were not of the same quality as the rest of the meal, and when we ordered additional pots of tea, the tea bags were not replaced. The restaurant staff were helpful throughout our stay, although at times they seemed a little abrupt when speaking with guests."

The Keelman and Big Lamp Brewery

10/10 Excellent

"A clean, comfortable room and great, easy-going staff. I arrived very late after a long day getting lost walking the wall (after the kitchen closed and was shut) and the bartender was kind enough to put together a meal for me - very much appreciated when arriving in the dark partially covered in mud The beer they brew on site was also excellent."

Host & Stay | Snoozy Goose

4/10 Poor

"The cottage is lovely, however 60 to clean it was a joke when it wasn’t even that clean when we got there and had to hoover it ourselves due to a few bugs on the kitchen floor and the rug in the living room covered with stains. The TV didn’t work and couldn’t receive any channels, and when we spoke to the customer service team they basically said we didn’t know how to work a TV, even though there was clearly an issue with the Ariel. Beds are comfy, place is nicely decorated, but just wasn’t happy with the customer support team treating us like idiots and the 60 cleaning charge. Also, once booked in you receive so many messages a day regarding a private chef or a tour guide that it became a nuisance and started to ruin the build up to the holiday. I’m not saying don’t stay here because it is a lovely cottage. However, sort the tv out and actually clean the place properly to warrant charging us 60 to clean it if you have a pet. "
