The Oaks Hotel

Splendid!

Liked: When you have to take the ferry in Newcastle and are travelling from Scotland or the north in generalq, this is the perfect stop. A cosy hotel, with a very good cook in the kitchen (for breakfast as well as dinner), a comfortable room (in our case a spacious family room) and three splendid female hosts (sisters?) who divide the work and are all three kind, to the point, attentive but not tiresome overfriendly as in some other places. Just as it should be.
Disliked: A pigeon dropped something on our car 54 seconds after arrival. But that's all.

Great dog friendly accommodation, near...

Liked: Good choice of breakfast options. Even Lyra our fox terrier was given a sausage for hers
Disliked: Nothing

Did what it said on...

Liked: Location
Disliked: It’s a pub so it was occasionally noisy in the afternoon

Avoid this place.

Liked: Nice staff
Disliked: Poorly ventilated room reached 38 C And 40C not safe for health. Yes the weather was warm but even so the room was not habitable. I had to leave and find another hotel.Noisy from something running most of the night in hotel , and traffic noise. Kettle flex didn't reach the socket had to stand it on the floor.They should not be allowed to rent out room 32.I now see other reviews have highlighted the same issues . Obviously the management don't take any notice.Towels not changed and only 1 sample size shower gel for 2 nights . Poor lighting too.Don't book this room .

Liked: The Oaks was a perfect location with the bookshop and town only a short stroll away.Very friendly staff, and a well presented and clean family room, perfect for a good night's sleep before the 6 hour drive home.We didn't eat in the hotel that evening due to prior arrangements but can say that the breakfast was excellent.Thank you and hope to see you again.
Disliked: Nothing springs to mind.
