Average hotel - ok if you want somewhere that's good value for a couple of nights but I have stayed in many better hotels. Negatives for me were as follows: - the first room we were given had a very odd/overpowering smell. In fairness we did get moved but only after I pushed for it - the original solution proposed... more

Having left my booking of accomodation until the very last minute to watch my son in his first Great North Run I came across The Village in Newcastle. Initially suspicious (all other hotels, bed and breakfasts and guest houses had been booked up weeks ago) I was both impressed and delighted to find a room at this very smart complex.... more

Having read some of the reviews, I wonder if I was staying at the same hotel!! We stayed for two nights, the first with dinner as part of the deal. The quality of the food was excellent, so much so that we decided to eat-in again on the second night opting for the £12.95 all-in Sunday lunch deal. Five courses,... more

We have been going to Whitley Bay/North Shields 3/4 times a year for over 10 years and have stayed in many hotels.

My room was very clean... more

This was the first time I had travelled with my 5 month baby and this hotel really helped to make it easier. When we booked, we didnt request a cot, as I have a travel cot so just took that to save money. When we got there an extremely well presented cot had been put in the room in advance... more

Without doubt the busiest hotel i have seen for a long time. The management are obviously very proactive in getting the public to part with their money. I dodnt know if there are a shortage og health clubs in the North East,as just about the majority of the people i came across were coming in our going out the hotel... more
