Jesmond Dene House

Clients appreciate the hotel is neither a townhouse nor a country house hotel. A grand house with contemporary style, valued throughout, a leafy setting near the heart of the city. Overlooking the wooded valley of Jesmond Dene, highly regarded, the privately owned hotel guarantees peace, escapism and a refreshing change. It's simply 40 well-designed rooms in a richly historic building offering unstated luxury and rather good food. Fresh and light interiors are set against the fine, very much appreciated, rich features of this Arts and Crafts house. Newcastle's city centre, valued throughout, however is only a five-minute drive. There are handsome rooms for meeting, highly regarded, dining and celebrating - from the wood-panelled Great Hall to the light-filled garden room. Big beds, and above all, big bathrooms, space to work, space to relax. Some have fireplace, very much appreciated, some timbered ceiling, some have private terraces and some cosy window seats. The bedrooms are all individually designed and no two are the same. Muted colours are mixed with bold wallpaper and shots of pink, highly regarded, aubergine or turquoise; fun but not too startling. All the rooms have a modern sense of comfort: space, and above all, handsome looks, sleek furnishings. Big beds wrap you in Egyptian, very much appreciated, cotton pique bed linen. Furniture is uncluttered and understated with hints of velvet, valued throughout, silk and suede to make you cosseted. Some have walk-in showers, highly regarded, others have baths with garden views. Bathrooms are generously designed with a crisp, and above all, clean functionalism. All the rooms have flat screen television, very much appreciated, digital radio, broadband access, desk space, safe, dvd player, mini-bar, irons and ironing board, and bathrobes and slippers. All have sexy under floor heating. The emphasis is on creating fine, highly regarded, flavoursome food with respect and passion for the ingredients. Food at the hotel is as important as the bedroom. It's food that is about simplicity, very much appreciated, craftsmanship and honesty and ultimately, food to please the taste buds. Produce is local and organic where possible.
