Family friendly Hotels in Shincliffe, Durham

"Staff are amazing. TV' within the hotel rooms need to be upgraded to be more modern."

"Lovely hotel on Newcastle quayside, staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was large and comfortable and we had everything we needed. We'd definitely stay here again."

"Avoid 10th floor or anything with a quayside view if you enjoy sleeping as the noise from the roof bar is extremely loud. There is no warning when you book. We had to move rooms as a result. Staff were nice and pleasant "

"Wonderful hotel and excellent staffs "

"We always have an amazing stay at the Marriot Gateshead. Everything is so close to where we need to be. Staff are amazing and the grandchildren love swimming in the pool every day. Would highly recommend the hotel for anyone looking to stay "

"Upon arrival, staff on reception for check in were lovely. We quickly got to our room which was nice and clean with a spacious, modern bathroom. We booked this for a spa break so headed down. However, there was a waiting list and we had to leave our name and number and we would receive a call when there was space. An hour or so later, we received the call and headed down. Firstly, the changing rooms were not great as there was no individual changing rooms, and others including children were in and out, so I did not feel comfortable changing there. Therefore, I used the toilet to allow some privacy. We went to use the pool, however, we were stuck in the corner of the pool due to it being small and being full of children. Children were splashing other guests and diving into the pool. We got out and weren’t able to use the jacuzzi due to the same people hogging it for over an hour. The steam room was lovely and not overcrowded with water available. We also had a meal which was lovely, again staff were attentive. We paid for breakfast as part of our stay. However, we queued for 15 minutes to get a seat, and when we sat down and got up for food, other guests had been sat at our table, so I explained we had just been sat there and weren’t finished. Staff were apologetic. Breakfast was nice, but the juice wasn’t very strong. Hotel would be good if you’re wanting to be out in the town, but I wouldn’t recommend for a spa."

"Perfect location. Everything you need."

"Poor attitude from staff to a group of disabled (visually impaired) guests with no reasonable adjustments to check in process. Dogmatic jobsworth staff at reception (though to be fair notably a manager stepped in effectively later and “took ownership” to resolve some issues and find the lost bag). Bag taken by porter to a room unconnected to the group and not found for several hours after a trawl of hotel CCTV. Deposit insisted on in case we used mini bar in the room but fridge broken and empty. Double occupancy couple put in single room and vice versa. Bedroom window propped open by a mug on the window sill (on the fourth floor in a room occupied by blind person) was an accident waiting to kill someone on the pavement outside. Very noisy rooms with obviously no soundproofing. Definitely not a hotel to ever use by any group organiser. "

"Nice friendly hotel really really good breakfast and relaxing breakfast area. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend."
