Close House

Our first visit and I expect not the last. We were allocated an upper room in the courtyard area accessed via a secure key card entrance and the same card for the room. The rooms are in little groups with a shared passage. Our room was very spacious with a large sofa, chairs and a coffee table also multiple side tables and 7 table lamps. There was an elaborate lighting system and 3 wall mounted control panels for the up lighting, down lighting and table lamps to create different moods. Premium fittings and bedding and a huge ensuite with a free standing bath and walk-in shower. So we had a good nights sleep and it was very quiet so we couldn't fault anything and were very pleased with the accommodation. The reception and restaurant is a few hundred yards away situated down a hill next to a lake. Not an issue in calm dry weather, but in the wind, rain or frost and the dark of winters evening a little more problematic especially since there isn't a dedicated footpath for guests and you end up on the road. The food and service were all good with a choice from 3 different menu's in the evening since the festive season had started. This much better than your typical Golf club house. Breakfast was limited to a single cooked item so fruit juice, yoghurts etc were all optional extras (not seen this one before). What they cooked was very good however. Overall I don't think you will find anything much better in Newcastle.

Absolutely awesome!!!!! Awesome hotel and absolute value for money. Massive luxury room, wonderful bathroom and lovely breakfast. This will be my number one choice for this area in the future. I stay at about 50 hotels every year and have done for decades and this ranks in my top 3 of all time. Absolutely loved it!!!

Amazing room! Amazing room! We had a great stay at Close House, the room was gorgeous super spacious and bathroom was lovely! We had an evening meal and breakfast included in the price of our room which was fantastic. We only stayed for one night to go to a wedding in the area the following day but wish we had more time to explore the beautiful grounds! Staff were great as well.
