My family thoroughly enjoyed our 11-night stay at Pear Tree Cottage in June 2017. The cottage is…read morehomely, warm and well-equipped with everything needed to self-cater for an extended period. The beds were comfy with high-quality linens and sufficient storage. Both bedrooms had modern en suites with hot, strong showers and heated towel rails. The living area was bright, light and tastefully decorated. We had ample outdoor space for our son to play and we made good use of the outdoor furniture on warm sunny evenings.The host family are very friendly. The property is in a quiet and peaceful farming location, but still only a short distance (just over 1 mile) to two great pubs, Running Fox cafe and village store in Longframlington. We found this a perfect central location to visit sites in the north-east and borders including Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands, Northumberland National Park, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Cragside, Hadrians Wall, Alnwick and coastal villages. We live in Australia and sadly won't be returning for a while, but will highly recommend Pear Tree Cottage to any friends travelling to the area.

I've stayed in a few B&Bs in and around Alnwick and this is by far my favourite.

The interior is immaculate: beautiful modern decor that isn't flashy, nor does it detract from the architecture of the building. Excellent service: Leo is an attentive and friendly host who goes to great lengths to look after the comfort of his guests. Good food: Breakfast is generous and hearty Whenever friends come to town, I recommend that they stay here rather than with me. I've got the room, but they'll be more comfortable and better looked after!

I think all have a log fire. We've stayed in Coley Law and latterly Honeymug, both have central heating and a log burner for cosy nights in. There's also a nice leisure centre on-site with pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a fitness room all to the same standards as the accommodation. So if you love tranquility away from the madding crowd this is just the dab!!

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.

There is also a terrace which offers a panoramic view of Druridge Bay which I have to say, the view was the highlight of our stay, even during the rain and wind that threatened to ruin our beach break. During our stay we enjoyed a quiet and relaxing break away from everyday life, with the cottage set in the most private area of the village of Cresswell. The up keep of the cottage was also of the highest standard with fresh towels and bedding offered on our arrival as well as a customised welcome plaque and bottle of wine! Bank Top Cottage truly did exceed our expectations and we are already looking forward to returning there soon!
