Paul and Zoe Gillie welcome you to Newminster Cottage. Whether on business or on holiday, you will feel at home and most welcome.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I were in Morpeth for the weekend and Newminster Cottages was ideal for our short stay. We received a friendly welcome from Zoe, who seemed to be a little surprised at our arrival (found out that this was down to a technical issue with the booking provider website). Nevertheless we were shown to a comfortable, clean and spacious room with a sizeable ensuite bathroom. This particular room was at the front, slightly lower than street level but was still light and airy with a decent double bed and nice decor. We were told that there was no cold water available in the bathroom and therefore were given the option to move rooms. We decided that this was a very minor inconvenience so stayed put - we could always get cold water from the kitchen. In fact having the freedom of the kitchen during the day was a good idea. We preferred this to having tea/coffee making in the room. Zoe gave us the options of where to eat that evening and we were quite happy with the Indian restaurant recommendation that she provided. Paul makes a good breakfast, whether it is continental or full English. He knows the local area very well and gave us some ideas of places to visit during the day. My wife and were pleased to chat with Paul as he made breakfast across the dining room in the kitchen and it made for an enjoyable morning meal. Would definitely return if we're up that way again.…

Newminster Cottage is in a great location in Morpeth close to the river & the town centre. The primary reason for any stay is a good nights sleep & Paul has provided good quality beds that are comfortable & give you a good nights sleep. Room 3 was very spacious & has windows in 2 walls which creates a light airy room & also has a beautiful en-suite shower room. Both the bedroom & shower-room were 5 star clean/faultless. Paul is an excellent host & provides a good breakfast. Will definitely stay here again when next in the area.

The accommodation was very comfortable and the owner friendly and he cooked an excellent breakfast . You were given a key and could come and go as required. The situation of the BandB was close to the centre of Morpeth and everything within walking distance.

I stay in Morpeth about once a year for work and until now have never stayed in the same place twice as I have found the hotels in the town to be poor. However I will definitely be returning to Newminster Cottage. Great rooms, great price, warm welcome, lovely breakfast..what's not to like !

This is my second time staying at NewMinister Cottage- and it was as great as last time. Paul is a great host, the bed was comfy, room was lovely (I like the grey purple paint Paul!). I highly recommend if you need a place to stay in Morpeth. It's just minutes walk from the High Street and Sanderson Arcade
