Henshaw Vacations from $1,780

It felt like the focus was more on the restaurant than the accommodation. The staff seemed to have been unaware who was arriving so had to check. Said our rooms were not ready, even though we arrived after 5pm, but given alternatives. No mention of check out times or if breakfast was available, Expedia says they do breakfast at an extra cost? We had booked 2 rooms and first impression was nice décor. However one room had no toilet paper or sugar on the tea tray. I stayed in a family room, I had to move kettle to windowsill and put the extension lead on the single bed to use it as there was no socket nearby. One of the lamps did not switch on as it was not plugged in, had to take the lead over the single bed to do so after I tightening up the stand as it had come loose looked drunk. The bed had a wooden frame, the bottom end joints were loose and needed gluing. There were several empty and part used complimentary toiletries left in the shower from previous guests. My room was at the front of the property so overlooked the road, I personally had no problem with road noise as I am hearing impaired. Okay there were some minor issues which had to be mentioned but the room and bed were clean and comfortable. I think we would stay here again because the issues did not bother us that much but needed to be mentioned so they can be put right. Although it may not necessarily be our first choice.

Room was perfect in all areas, polite and professional Staffing, standard breakfast.

Modern, centrally situated hotel. Room was clean and bright, bar served generous portions of freshly made food. Staff were friendly and attentive. Good option for a short stay.

We always choose the Vermont when visiting Newcastle it is in a perfect location and the staff are great. The hotel is having an upgrade staring in the top floor working down which will be great as the rooms are currently quite dated but still nice, everything you need and a decent size.

Excellent breakfast good choice,room was ideal on the first floor
