As this was number 1 on TripAdviser for b&bs in Newcastle I assumed it was excellent and unfortunately ignored the one negative review which unusually, in this instance, was the accurate and honest one We stayed here for only one night thank goodness. Colin, Laraine's husband was very pleasant although we didn't see him much. The breakfast area was attractive... More

We stayed here for 1 night with 3 people. Such a beautiful (old- fashioned) home, very nice people and they created a delicious breakfast for us. The house is situated very close to a street with shops and restaurants. It is possible to reach the centre of Newcastle by foot, but it might take a while (recommand having a car).... More

My husband and I stayed here last week on the way through to Armidale. What a lovely home. I have never stayed in a B&B and was a little worried that I would feel uncomfortable in a strangers home. I needn't have worried. We were made to feel welcome and felt like we were staying with friends or family. We... More

A group of us stayed a few nights at this B and B while attending a conference and were somewhat disappointed. We were warned that there were cats there and one of our number slept upstairs in the attic area where they lived. She had to move out (and sleep in the dining room and share another person's bathroom) because... More

This is a great place to stay in Newcastle! It is in a very quiet street, a very quiet house with all the comforts of staying in someones house. It is walking distance to the restaurants of Beaumont Street and shops. Your hosts are very friendly and accommodating and our room was spacious and restful. We highly recommend this! More

My partner and I went there and we loved it simply amazing host and house was so homey. Breakfast was amazing too we will definitely be back there sometime soon. More

We felt it was like staying at home - it was warm and inviting. My sister and her husband had pancakes for breakfast - they both said they were extrodinary. There was even breakfast available for gluten intolerant guests. The restraunts and shops of Hamilton are only a 10 minute walk away and the local hotel, a block away has... More

Couldnt' agree more with other reviewers, this is a great place to stay when visiting Newcastle and Laraine is the ideal hostess. Wonderful brekky. After two nights we moved to Newcastle's poshest (?) hotel (paid for by the conference my husband was attending) and our room was not half as well equipped (at twice the cost) as ours at Hamilton...

We stayed two nights with Laraine and Colin and were upgraded to a large room with a spa bath and then another little bedroom with a bunk bed, which we didn't use. I think they were decorating one of the other rooms at the time, so we were offered this one, and we were more than happy. We didn't see... More
