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 Heritage. Well placed to get public transport into the city, which is well worth exploring, and so easy to get around.

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 much of Colin, but Laraine was so friendly and helpful, just like chatting with a favourite Aunty! The breakfast was as bountiful as you can get, and the choice was incredible, especially as Laraine makes it herself as she chats away to you from the kitchen.

The B&B has a really welcoming homely feel about it, and the stained glass is beautiful. We felt thoroughly at peace and relaxed during our stay, and we actually liked the Hamilton area better than Newcastle itself!

Recommended for just about any traveller of any age. If you want shiny corporate hostelry with gym and business centre, go elsewhere, but if you want to actually enjoy a stay away from home, then definately go here.

It was a perfect stay, from arrival to departure. The breakfast is worth the stay & the company is the icing on top. I stayed for one night & would have liked to stay longer. I'll definitely be back.

We stayed at this place only one night in the Hobbit room but would have stayed longer if our travels required it. Colin and Laraine were very friendly and the breakfast in the morning filled us up for our long road trip ahead. The stained glass in the doors and windows are beautiful and there was ample street parking out front. They have two friendly and playful cats and are overall very pet friendly. Additionally, they were very generous in allowing me to use the computer to catch up with all our internet based needs as we had been off the grid for a few days. Highly recommended.
