The UK has some incredible areas to explore – maybe not exotic places, but there are still plenty of interesting cities in England for exploring.  Recently, I decided to have a break from London’s crazy lifestyle and spend a few days in Newcastle. Getting the right hotel can make a huge difference in how you experience any break and we were very lucky to stay at Jesmond Dene House which has the most superb location with fabulous nature views.  I loved the location as it has the most amazing scenic walks and just a few minutes walk away from coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants and pubs and 10-minute car journey into the city center.  On the first night, I decided to try their a la carte menu and was not disappointed! The food was absolutely divine and full of flavor and finesse. The staff was lovely and helpful which made the experience extremely special and enjoyable. We stayed in a lovely open large room. Well appointed, bright and airy. The bed was an absolute dream and I did not miss my own bed which I normally do. My favorite time of the day is usually breakfast and theirs did most certainly live up to expectation. It was very tasty and well presented.

If I’m ever back in Newcastle, Jesmond Dene House will be my first choice for sure as it really is a lovely hotel and well looked after/maintained.
