It really is like school not hotel but the food is reasonable and to feed 10 people together with no washing up for me is always welcome

The guy that works as the security during late serving is very friendly and attentive, during normal hours the bar and restaurant are manned by happy and welcoming staff. This will come as a welcome relief to many staying here, as it is a great place to escape the local pillocks of Richmond, who don't seem to enter this place due to the presence of decent conversation and nice interior decor ..

The only thing with Premiers is that they seem to be in two standards thou they are all 4*. Thou both of the standards are good and like I said I am always happy staying here, the difference is that the better standard is a more recently modernised room than the slightly lower standard. The Hartlepool Marina Premier is the slightly lower standard. The views from this hotel are spectacular as it is based right on the marina with the boats sat on both sides to the hotel. Location is only 5minutes walk from Church Street what is the start of town where you can find restaurants, pubs and clubs. I would stay here again.

The rooms are spacious and well equipped but my 3rd floor room did not have a good bathroom. Shower was underpowered and in a very slippery bath with a shower curtain. Not ideal as shower curtains are not what I expect in a high end hotel, while the bath is pretty dangerous and I would be concerned for older guests stepping out. In addition some tiles were missing above wash basin. Breakfast consisted of hot and cold buffet and was very good. So some hits and misses but location was a winner.

Village Hotel Newcastle

Located in a business center (I think P&G is the local corporate tenant), the location is about a…read more30 Pound cab ride from the airport and about 20 minutes from downtown Newcastle. Business travelers will find A full health club, a great English pub, a Starbucks and a Buca di Beppo in the lounge of this 3-story facility. If you haven't been to Europe, there are a few oddities you might never have experienced. First, there are no key cards here. You get a real key with an odd looking keychain. The chain acts like a master switch to the lights and TV. SO if you arrive at night and the door slams shut, you will be truly groping in the dark and wondering why the light switch does not work.. If this happens, open the door to the hall to let light in the room. Find the "thingamajiggy" on the wall and insert your key chain. Now flip on the switches. Newcastle can be fairly dark and the lighting is still pretty dark. Make sure you also turn on each outlet. No doubt after a long travel your phone might need charging and you don't want to find out that your phone is not charging just because you didn't flip the switch. The room is large enough and the bathroom is a decent size with heated towel racks. The gym is full service and very popular in the area. You will find many of the locals coming and going after work. Also the restaurant and pub are well utilized every day of the week. The Victory pub is probably where you would want to eat as service is a little faster and you can get more local fare. We ate at Buca di Beppo one night for variety and comfort food one night. The dishes were basic but different from the American menus. Highly recommend if you are strictly here for business and will not need to be in downtown Newcastle.
I stayed overnight here during a flying visit to Newcastle for the Rugby World Cup. The hotel is…read morelocated quite a distance from Newcastle City Centre, requiring a 30 minute journey by Metro & bus or a £20 cab ride. The hotel itself is a bit of a mixed bag, the ground floor reception area with bar & restaurant feels quite modern (I figured it must've had a recent refit) but the rooms were starting to show their age. The bathroom in my room in particular was looking a bit rough around the edges. The room was warm & fairly quiet, facilitating a fairly sound sleep, although there was some noise creeping in from surrounding rooms. There were signs stating they offered WiFi throughout the hotel, but I didn't use it. The health club looked fairly modern & there seemed to be a good number of locals using it. Despite the hotel being full over the weekend, the staff throughout where very friendly & helpful, they really did give a great account of themselves. All in all this was a decent, if short, visit to the hotel. I'd struggle to recommend the hotel to visitors simply because of its location, but if you were visiting the business park for work then I'd say you're best to stay here.

As of October 2014, The Mowden Pub is under new management and has been refurbished. As someone…read morewho's been visiting the pub on and off for 20+ years I can say, hand on heart, this is the best thing that has ever happened to the Mowden. The new owners have managed to refurbish the pub whilst keeping a lot of what made the The Mowden "The Mowden". Whilst still a pub, the emphasis is now on the food and what a pleasant experience it is. All the food seems fresh and is rather tasty. The staff are helpful and pleasant and the atmosphere is just right for a nice family meal or a romantic meal for two..if you can get a table (so ring ahead and book one). Whilst there isn't a huge choice of dishes on the main menu, there are special daily dishes and certain nights cater to certain meal types along with all the other pub activities you'd expect. Drink wise however, I'm not sure what to think. One one hand they have some nice ales and beers now but on the other they got rid of some of my favorite brands in the change over. Regardless, if you've never been or not been in sometime, now is the time to visit and enjoy a newer nicer Mowden in every sense!

This can be served in the bar at any time but the restaurant is much nicer - you need to book though.

The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I will also say that the restaurant had tasty dinner. The annoying parts of this stay unfortunately outweigh the positives in my mind. Firstly, the nice, quite room is basically completely Wi-fi proof. While they do offer free Wi-fi, I was unable to actually use it from my room - I had to either go outside, or back to the restaurant/lounge to connect. Second, while the dinner was pretty good, they ran out of cask-ale after my first pint, and didn't seem enthusiastic about changing the cask. Also, the dinner wasn't really a bargain. This dovetails in to the second issue I had with dining, which was the breakfast. It was a mediocre steam-tray buffet. It was not worth the £9.99 per person that they charge. Third, they don't have a business center - this isn't normally a huge deal, but I'd love to have been able to check in for my flight and print my boarding passes from the hotel, especially considering how troublesome their Wi-fi was. My overall summary of Honest Lawyer is really that it's about a 2-1/2 star experience. It's tolerable if you cannot find a B&B, but it really doesn't compare to a good B&B experience, and it's costly enough that it cannot realistically be called a bargain.

We had a wonderful time listening to old favorites on the jukebox while eating our lunch. We were one of the few groups walking from west to east along the Wall, so the Robin Hood was actually our final "pit stop" before ending the walk in Heddon-on-Wall.
