Frühstück war sehr gut, das Restaurant auch. Personal seht nett. Das Zimmer war sauber, ein bisschen eng, weil viele Betten waren.
Amazing food and excellent service 👌
Room 3 . Radiator was on full heat and couldn't be turned off , did report this but unfortunately didn't get repaired.
Great location
Restaurant and bar on site
Unique, friendly & welcoming staff , fantastic food and great value for money

Food served was halal which is disgusting . Never going there again
Comfortable room with a clean and bright bathroom with a great walk in shower. The restaurant is first class and the staff are all exceptionally friendly and hospitable.

Good location for our visit to relationship. Lovely room. Great breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Only problem was on the Saturday and Sunday morning there was only slightly warm water available in the bathroom.
Great food and extensive menu with good prices
Restaurant is very popular and so is quite busy and noisy and the food takes a long time to be served
Lovely room great breakfast friendly staff dog friendly
Helpful staff, nice food
Trejoli chambre, au calme , très bons repas et petit déjeuner.
On aurait apprécié un peu de chauffage dans la salle de bain.
Large clean rooms. Friendly staff.
We liked everything
Nabij Newcastle, handig om een dagje Newcastle te doen, en onze terugvaart DFDS te halen. Mijn jasje was over een stoel blijven hangen, iemand vh personeel wees me hierop, dat was fijn.
Gastvrijheid was er niet: uit reviews bleken eerdere gasten last met matige matrassen gehad te hebben. Bij reserveren werd mij toegezegd, dat ik nw matrassen zou hebben. Bij de balie vroeg ik (na lange rit) of dit gelukt was, dat schoot in verkeerde keelgat. Ze wist dus niets van toezegging! Bij ons diner die avond, werden wij genegeerd, ipv een welkom (de manager liep wel 4x voorbij), was het 1e dat de manager zei: “So, we are all done”, terwijl hij aanstalte maakte, om de voorgerecht-borden mee te nemen. De vrouw bij het ontbijt snauwde ons af. Ik kom hier niet meer .. Dit is een (door familie-gerund?) restaurant, .. dat ook kamers heeft, .. die ze verhuurd.
Every thing from ample safe parking to the lovely spacious room and the comfortable bed with pillows and the fabulous food served in the restaurant and the lovely breakfast
Nothing what so ever
Czysty, zadbany i pachnacy hotel. Klimatyczna restauracja tuz przy hotelu z pysznym jedzeniem. Bardzo dobre sniadania. Przemila obsluga. Prywatny Parking. Dobra lokalizacja hotelu.
Psia kupa w tylnym ogrodku
Really wonderful hosts and staff, great value and delicious food for dinner and breakfast.
The room was fine although a little cold and a bit bland. Facilities were good with the tea / coffee and hot chocolate. The bicuits were also a nice touch. The bathroom could have benefited from some hooks or rail to hang your wet bath towels.
Unfortunately, having waited a year for our visit and travelled over 200 miles for my wifes birthday our evening meal was a disappointment especially as we ordered wine with our meal and it was forgotten about and by the time we eventually receieved our wine we were already 3/4 the way through our meal . Noone came over to check if everything was ok during our meal. Instead it was felt the staff were more atentive to the locals having there meal than the resident guests. It put us off from eating in the restuarant on the Saturday. Overall, this was not the best experiance we have had as frequent hotel travellers, visiting many hotels.
It had a very friendly and clean appearance
Maybe the car park could be relaid
The food and the gardens were lovely
Some stuff in the room needs looking at like the tap in the bathroom was dripping the tv didnt turn off unless it was unplugged but every thing else was fantastic
Everything was as expected as I have booked there previously
Staff very friendly bar food excellent
Breakfast looked good but a bit tasteless and couldn’t get a hot shower only lukewarm.
The breakfast was excellent, with a variety of choice. Both continental and freshly cooked.
The only downside was the dampness / drain odour in the shower / toilet room. Once experienced it was ok.
The restaurant was noisier than we would have liked, so we couldn't have a conversation on our table of 6.
Everything the staff were excellent the room was lovely and clean
Das Abendessen war absolut top. Sehr leckere italienische Küche und zur Happy-Hour-Zeit bis 6 p.m. sogar mit einem hervorragenden Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Auch ohne Übernachtung eine Empfehlung. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und offen. Hier kam man, wenn man wollte, schnell in ein lockeres Gespräch.
Schön wären modernere und mehr Steckdosen mit USB-Lademöglichkeit. Leider hatte unser Bad eine Wanne in der man duschen musste. Da hatte ich wohl bei der Buchung nicht aufgepasst.
Nice and quiet place to stay and relax overnight. The hotel restaurant was fantastic. Really good food — definitely worth staying for the evening meal.
The hotel room could do with some refreshing, such as new carpets, etc. However, the room was generally clean and offered really good value for money.
Welcome. Room and evening meal, and breakfast all very good.
Outside areas were a little tired and not tidy.
Schöne, grosse Zimmer mit bequemen Betten. Nettes Personal im ausgezeichneten Restaurant
nichts
Convenient location, easy parking, room was very clean. Food in the restaurant was lovely.
Quite basic in terms of facilities. Breakfast staff weren’t the most welcoming. Main issue was with temperature regulation and water pressure in the shower.
Such a lovely spot for a well needed Hadrian's Wall walk break. All staff were so welcoming and helpful. Restaurant was a real treat and our evening meals and breakfast were lovely. It is clearly a popular spot as the restaurant was buzzing with diners. Rooms were comfy.
I would change the diffuser perfume in the rooms to something a little lighter.
Goede locatie, lekker ontbijt, vriendelijk personeel
Een van de bedden was niet goed
It was a very nice location! We enjoyed the food and the stay. We were there for one night. If you bring your dog you will have plenty of space for walking and taking care of dog needs.
The room was lovely decorated, clean and comfortable. Checking in & out were very quick and simple and we even got into our room a little earlier than expected which was a nice bonus.
The wait time for breakfast. We sat over 45 minutes waiting for our hot meal when there were guests who came in after us and were eating before us. Bathroom a little dated, however very clean. Was left 1x bottle of water for a double room so 2 of us had to share the 1 bottle. We couldn't get the tv to work. Unsure if the batteries to the remote were running out.
Breakfast was nice
Checking in was in the middle of a pub, No indication of what time breakfast was or where to go for it, As was very busy and no time to talk to me.
Friendly and efficient staff. who run a spotlessly clean and enjoyable place. to stay. The bedroom was large and comfortable.. The breakfast was good with freshly cooked food as ordered and plenty of choice. Dinner was superb.!!
The bathroom would benefit from somebwhere to hang towels and an improved shower which.was difficult to turn on and then very hard to adjust the temperature.
Snídaně anglická velmi dobrá
Problémy s vodou v koupelně
Great garden great food
Weather
I loved the breakfast and the little woodland walk at the back of the building.
Vriendelijk personeel, prachtige tuin en locatie. Heerlijk rustig!
Accomodatie prima, alleen de badkamer verdiend wat aandacht. Verder wel schoon alles.
Very nice people, nice compact rooms, comfy beds, excellent breakkie and restaurant! Beautiful back garden for dogs to run around (or children!). Gorgeous Water Mill nearby, recommend to visit.
Nice bedroom, excellent cooked breakfast and the pizza and pasta at the restaurant was delicious
Room 10 bathroom…tired and couldn’t shower because the water was scalding, definitely needs sorting
Clean and tidy comfortable beds and fabulous beds
Lovely, affordable accommodation. Modern facilities. Close to airport (the reason for our stay). Staff were very friendly & welcoming. Lovely garden area at the back of the property. Would definitely book again if we were in Newcastle!
I couldn’t control the shower settings very well. Was either running freezing or scalding hot. Maybe not so much the properties fault, may just have been me unable to figure it out but found it difficult to control the temperature compared to other places we’ve stayed.
The staff were friendly and really thoughtful
Sadly the room was musty, which caused an allergic reaction, meaning I needed antihistamines and inhalers. I arrived really late, so didn’t address this on the night.
Dog friendly, good size rooms, comfortable bed, good shower, lovely restaurant. Attractive setting with plenty of parking with woods opposite for dog walking.
nothing really
Onthe edge of the city but felt like a world away in such a charming almost medditeran setting The Italian restaurant serves delicious food that's excellent value for money and every member of staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Infact the owner came over to say hello to my little dogs and was such a friendly man who always had a big smile for everyone. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and best of all set slightly apart from the restaurant. I stayed when England were playing Norway and even though the match was televised in the restaurant it was quiet enough in the room for me not to really notice .
Nothing at all to dislike. Only suggestion I could make is perhaps have a shelf in the bathroom as had to perch my toiletries/ washbag and makeup bag on the sink. Personally prefer a bath to a shower and room I was in was a shower only but that's not really a big issue
The staff are great. The food is excellent. Room is huge and very clean.
The WiFi isn’t great
Nette kamer, leuk restaurant en goed ontbijt.
Geen tegenvallers.
Great place to stay - comfy rooms and beds and lovely garden area to sit in. Breakfast was fantastic!
The food is excellent
The furniture is a bit old.
The staff were so friendly, hotel spotless and the food for dinner and breakfast was lovely! Great weekend!
Handy for a tournament we were attending.
Lack of facilities. Not enough towels initally. The lighting in room was very poor. Was reccommended by a friend. Not my style.
The staff and the restaurant
The rooms were dated and basic, no fridges
Lovely place to stay, staff are all friendly and helpful, the beds are very comfy, all facilities are clean. Breakfast is plentiful and catered to all as much as much as possible. We paid separately for dinner and that was also very nice. Best of all dogs are not just 'allowed' they're made very welcome with a garden to give them breaks in, one of the owners spotted my two at breakfast and after checking with me gave them some sausage. Would recommend and stay again.
Only minor thing is would be nice if there were separate toiletries in the showers, there was only a hair body wash in one but as we were only there one night it wasn't a massive issue.
Nice italian hotel
Drink prices
I'd looked online ahead of staying and found the information really supportive. Our room was clean,the shower glistening see-through and with calming, well thought out decoration throughout. The king room was very generously sized and bed comfy. Loved the large shower which was great once got the temperature setting right. The room was minimalistic and elegantly presented which was reset on day two. The food was really delicious. During our stay we enjoyed two lots of breakfast; A la carte menu; afternoon tea plus drinks sat outside. All were very well presented, good quality produce and amazing flavour.My partner kept commenting how he felt like he was abroad. 😎 I consider myself an afternoon tea hobbyist & this ranked highly with the unique added Italian twist. The staff were friendly and in the main very efficient with accuracy. Despite being busy on our first evening, once ordered the food arrived in good time and was hot. Been able to use my booking.com genius discount was very welcomed Top tips for visitors: * The early bird menu is great value * Check the wardrobe for your second set of towels * You may need to ask for a hairdryer * We hadn't realised but you can park near the rooms * Check the shower taps up close for temperature setting Possible suggestions for Michelangelo's to perhaps consider- * updating the 360 degree photo's of the site/inside on Google maps as these would be great for those who want to look in advance to familiarise themselves and for accessibility needs. e.g. wheelchair users, individuals with anxiety or those who are neurodivergent ♾️ *Limiting room parking to guests only to avoid others parking right near your room when windows are open * Adding your afternoon tea offer or at least the sweet treats to your takeaway menu. I think they'd be very popular 🤤 *Might be nice to advertise and celebrate any locally sourced produce 🏆
During our two night stay there were quite a few hiccups on the first night with the room and then during service. Each was minor but the collective effect could have easily brought our rating down a lot as it became a bit awkward having to keep asking/getting error's adjusted and would have preferred the things to not have happened. However, the very positive thing was the speed at which these were rectified.That coupled with the lovely room and delightful food has led us to booking again already
Breakfast was great, lots of options, evening meal was exceptional.
The back entrance to the rooms was shabby and might put some people off. Also the person checking us in mentioned that they were going to be busy ( due to a wedding) and so we would have to have dinner on their schedule and they also said that they couldn't replenish our room due to the busyness of the wedding (we felt that they should just have planned ahead because weddings don't just pop up!)
Great choice of continental or cooked breakfast. Dinners were excellent. A very popular spot with locals.
Good parking, excellent food, really was well cooked, try the mixed kebab, soup starter, and sweet for £28 Breakfast must be one of the best I have had, and I stay in dozens of hotels a year.
The beds were a little firm, not quite premier inn but still ok.
Easy to find, easy to park, rooms very accessible. Great food and the early bird three course meal for £12 what a bargain!
The door into the rooms block needs some oil as it creaks every time someone opens it. Meaning if you are in the room next to it, it goes on all night 😬
Clean; separate apartment block; friendly staff Breakfast very good
Shower temperature couldn’t be regulated. Bathroom floor tiles coming off. Bar/restaurant service very slow but there was a function on
Absolutely amazing place! Excellent Italian food, spacious room and wonderful people runs the place and very dog friendly!
Shame that portions were so big that I didn’t have space to try pudding. 😁
Nice food.
Delays in receiving your drinks when you ordered them.
The atmosphere was welcoming. The staff were excellent. Check in process was swift with immediate water offered on arrival after a hot hike. The setting was beautiful. Food was delicious and excellent value for money. Highly recommended and would definitely return.

Housekeeping was amazing, she had the room smell amazing each and every day. The server with the black hair is the most amazing asset to the business, such a lovely girl, very friendly and made us so welcome So close to the metrocentre too.
3 beds in the room, it has left me with bruises all over my legs as walked into the corners so many times, so did the bairns, that reqlly needs addressing.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was absolutely beautiful we would recommend anyone to go there. Cocktails were lush! Enjoyed celebrating our wedding anniversary here and the breakfast this morning was beautiful too
Nothing everything was spot on
Having a restaurant on site. Staff were great

Welcoming staff and spacious immaculate rooms. They are very dog friendly and the garden behind the rooms is lovely. Our evening meals and breakfasts were fantastic.
Staff were very welcoming and friendly Room was very nice lovely bedding and clean We had an excellent meal early bird special Breakfast very nice
Friendly staff, ample parking and a good breakfast
The wifi was terrible. Had trouble accessing it to start with. Staff helped but still very slow and intermittent. Furnishings looking tired and old fashioned.
Very well priced
Restaurant
The on site restaurant, food and staff were superb

N/A
Stayed before .it.s a lovely hotel great restaurant and pet friendly all we need.
Large rooms restaurant excellent food friendly staff
Could do with a blackout roller blind and unfortunately people were outside very early that woke us up as all floor level bedrooms
Food superb as always, and bathrooms appear to have had a welcome upgrade since last visit.
We stayed in a family room - the double bed was very much on the small side, and there was only one packet of biscuits!
Vrij simpele kamer, beetje verouderd. Vooral het restaurant was top. Zowel het diner als het ontbijt.
De kamer kan wel een update gebruiken.
Niets
Rommelig en niet goed onderhouden
Excellent dog friendly accommodation with lovely walks around the hotel.
Nothing
I have stayed here before & appreciate the location and the restaurant. Special mention to Evie who was welcoming, helpful & friendly both in the evening and at breakfast
Lovely comfortable rooms. Good breakfast and excellent evening meal. Very quiet except for occasional noise from dogs
Nothing
All of it - staff, room, food
Nothing
Accessible rooms set away from the restaurant/bar. Lovely garden area to sit out and to exercise the dog . Fantastic food in the restaurant. Very friendly , welcoming and attentive staff . Staff went overboard to ensure our dog was comfortable.
Shower room 5 bit small and doesn’t maintain and good temperature. Cistern of the toilet periodically fills noisily during the night , kept thinking why is the person next door washing their hands all the time .
Excellent very friendly staff. Food including breakfast superb
Would have liked table to facilitate use of computer in the room
The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the location was easy to get to and very peaceful
Very friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Good size bed & room
Quiet. Clean. Dog friendly
Nothing to be honest
Staff are so welcoming and accommodating and even brought my evening meal to my room instead of the restaurant as i was working. Late checkout is very helpful.
Love the Mediterranean feel of the hotel, rooms are spacious and take dogs. Restaurant for supper and breakfast really good.
Nothing
Lovely place to stay, large room, good breakfast, staff helpful
Vriendelijk personeel. Prachtige locatie. Bushalte voor de accommodatie.
- Heerlijk ontbijt. Standaard is er een buffet, maar dan kan je ook nog een bord met een Full English Breakfast vragen. Op een bord blijken veel gerechten te passen. In kleine hoeveelheden namelijk. - Ze vragen of je koffie of thee lust. Uitstekende koffie! Er werd ook niet moeilijk gedaan over een tweede kopje koffie/thee. - Gratis parkeren vlak bij ingang kamer gedeelte. - Alle kamers (denk ik) waren op de Begane Grond. Is ook best makkelijk.
- De gerenoveerde badkamer met inloopdouche heeft een spiegelgladde douchevloer, Opletten dus. - Van ons gezelschap vroeg iemand om een gebakken ei in plaats van een full English Breakfast. Dat kenden ze niet. Uiteindelijk werd het scrambled eggs. Heel lekker, maar dat was nauwelijks genoeg voor een halve boterham. Jammer.
Friendly staff, great breakfast.
Felt we had found a gem - a few miles off our route but it had everything we required for a pleasant stay
Had no issue with the property or staff
