Copthorne Hotel Newcastle

Copthorne Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent
"This was our largest and nicest room in England. The outside of the hotel needed some painting and upkeep. (Fighting against the Seagulls) Great views, location, had a decent restaurant in hotel and several more along the Quayside walk in front of the hotel next to the river. We enjoyed this location. It was near the train station and Castle. Had laundry service, but it was a bit pricey."

"What a beautiful hotel, first impressions take your breath away. All the staff, without exception, are always pleasant and efficient. The hotel itself is in need of a refurb/decoration and is very run down in places. This didn’t bother us (we had read the reviews before we booked) but could be a disappointment to others. Our room overlooked the train station and was noisy at night due to the trains but was doubly noisy when a nearby nightclub opened until the early hours on Friday to Saturday. Fortunately we had earplugs (thank again to earlier reviews). Having said all of the above, we would definitely stay at this hotel again."

"Nice room. Good breakfast. Food in bar in evening also good and reasonably priced. Very big queue to check in due to coach parties arriving. No strategy for dealing with customers not on the coach and we had to queue for 15 minutes with no apology. Have to pay for pool and towels."

Langley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Having recently stayed at Langley Castle, I can honestly say this was one of the best hotel experiences I have had in a long time. My wife and I travel extensively, and it is rare that you find somewhere where you immediately 'feel at home'. This is largely due to the genuine and warm hospitality shown by all of the staff throughout our stay. On top of this the breakfast and service in the restaurant was outstanding and certainly befitting of such a special hotel. The tour of the castle is not to be missed either. Our room, which was in the main castle itself was very impressive with a magnificent 4 poster bed and had a real feel of grandeur. Despite having exposed stone walls the room was extremely clean and free from dust which must be a real challenge in such an old building. Overall, a wonderful stay and we will be back. Highly recommended."
