romantic getaway by the river tyne

The river view from the superior double room. The lights dancing on the water created such a tender scene. the hotel location provided easy access to the quayside, a lovely place for evening strolls. the bar offered complimentary drinks. This added a touch of elegance to our nights.
The corridors looked a bit worn. They could use some freshening up.
