My parter and I stayed for a weekend away. The hotel is creaky and old but it all adds to the character. Its a lovely hotel-basic but you have everything you need.

Had a day trip to Newcastle yesterday, 6 of us, (this included 3 wheelchair users). We knew this restaurants location as we'd been about 2 years ago.

I have been daytripping to Newcastle for a long time. This is the first time I stayed overnight. I do not live far way, so could not really justify an overnighter. But, using a Groupon voucher for the Donard Hotel the Thursday and Friday prior to the bank holiday weekend a few days ago was an excellent way of spending... More
