It was perfect for what we needed it for
A group of us stayed here for the Great North Run. The location was perfect and also the fact there were a number of rooms that were all ensuite was a real bonus for us as we were a group of couples. The bedrooms were nice, the bedding, towels and bat mats were all nice and clean. The carpets throughout were a little bit sticky and the floors in the kitchen and bathroom were slippery (which is probably build up of cleaning product). The items in the kitchen required cleaning before use. The communal living room was small and the chairs uncomfortable, it's not really a relaxing area but was ok for us to sit and watch a film. The TVs are great. There is only one back door and one front door key so this is a bit of an issue when sharing with a group but they can be left in a key safe. There was a bit of an issue for us on the last night (early hours of the morning) when we were woken by the owner who got her dates wrong. It was sorted quickly but meant that a few of us were then facing a long journey home after disturbed sleep. But overall, if you just need a base that is close to Newcastle, for a group, and you're not going to be there much, then this is ideal.
