Great value for money North East break
Pros:

Great place to stay in Wallsend but only minutes away from Newcastle city centre
good value for money on my ' genius' deal and Stan is a very obliging host and nothing is too much trouble
Secure car parking, nice big room and shower room ensuite
Variety of food at breakfast including a full cooked option
Buses to Newcastle are a short walk away so no need to take the car and have the hassle and expense of city centre parking
Dorset Arms is near to all the main A roads and you can easily travel up the Northumbria coast for days out
Plenty of eating options in Wallsend which is about 10 minutes walk

Cons:

Mattress a little thin/soft but just a personal preference

Super host and welcoming hotel!
Pros:

We stayed in the Rose Room which was decorated tastefully and had a very comfortable bed. We really enjoyed our stay with a lovely breakfast included. A comfortable and warm hotel! We loved the decorations in the breakfast room and were even given a Roman Helmet to try on 😄 we would happily stay again
