What a Joke
We recently visited here for my sisters wedding I can t fault the actual wedding when it finally happened but what a total nightmare the rest of the weekend was We arrived on the Thursday When checking into to the garden rooms check in was very disjointed which didn t fill us with much hope Our plan for booking 2 nights in the garden rooms was to have a relaxing evening before the wedding day Go for breakfast the morning after and come back and get ready at our leasure When heading to the garden rooms the paths weren t great with loose chippings not great for elderly people or women in heels The room seemed nice when entering but we soon realised they weren t great We had one room and my mum had the adjoining room Upon going to the bathroom we realised that there was no way of shutting the door as it overlapped the frame There was a strange drain smell and the sink didn t drain well There is no way of getting any fresh air into the rooms without opening the massive sliding door This isn t an option though if you have dogs with you The main shock was the outside space the hot tub had lots of debris floating in it and didn t smell great the patio was surrounded by and covered in mud and there was a hosepipe just left thrown on the decking It wasn t just unsightly it was dangerous My mums bathroom had a leek somewhere so her towels kept getting wet Sleeping wasn t easy as the room was stuffy the heat was immense coming from the bathroom and the door made an awful noise when my partner whent through it Fast forward to the morning of the wedding I was awoken by my mum calling from her room at 7 15 to say the power had gone off whilst she was in the shower we presumed something had fused but couldn t find anything We had a nock on the door at 8 from my brother in law to say the hole power was off in the area and was due to come back on at 9 am This wasn t ideal but wasn t the end of the world We were due to go to the joiners for breakfast but the power was off there Nobody came the the room to see of everything was OK or to offer us an alternative breakfast 9 am came the power didn t come back on and the time for reconnection moved to 12 Baring in mind my sisters wedding was at 1pm this caused some panic My mum was sat with wet hair my sister had no shower or power to get ready The next update was the power was due to come back on at 6pm this would be after the wedding After speaking with various staff members no solutions were being offered Luckily we had family members staying within 10 miles and they had power Many of the guests had to get in cars and rush to various places to get washed and ready The wedding went ahead in the dark and Luckily Northern power grid got a generator to power the whole area If they hadn t who knows what would of happened The hall and staff had no contingency plans what so ever The wedding and evening do did go ahead but the stress and upset did ruin the weekend I must point out that there is no emergency lighting in the rooms I would of thought this would be a minimal requirement I have waited to write this review as my sister wanted to speak with the venue first and negotiate some compensation Their response has been a joke Their third and final offer was a 45 refund of our first night s stay I wouldn t recommend this place to anyone and I certainly would want anyone else to risk their big day being spoilt as apparently its happened before There is a terrible smell of sewage throughout the whole complex So many people paid so much money to stay at in the garden rooms that were at my sisters wedding and Newton hall don t care in the slightest about people s terrible stays

On 29th of May we should have stayed at
On 29th of May we should have stayed at Newton Hall hotel for 1 Night in The Ocean Road Room at a cost of 284 75 As we were attending a wedding We didn t get in our room till 7pm due to the time of the wedding which wasn t a problem as we had planned to get changed then rejoin the nighttime reception We were horrified by what we found when we went up to the room there was toilet paper left in the toilet pan The bedding had black marks on it the seats were both stained the table was all scratched and marked there was an awful smell in one side of the room and the bath had not been cleaned properly as there was what looked like a Tic and dead flys in the bath Also there was grime in the shower area which was disgusting and they definitely did not put Lux in Luxurious I went to reception and asked the young lady to get the manager to come to our room My wife explained to the duty manager that there was an awful smell either like a dog or drains We told him that the reason we had booked Ocean Road room was because it is not one of your dog friendly rooms He assured us that there had been no dogs allowed in that room The duty manager asked us to look at another room but this was one of the Dog friendly rooms in the main hall and not to our taste We asked for a full refund and he said he wasn t authorised to do that and by this time it was nearly 8pm our day had been totally ruined and we had no option but to leave The Duty manager emailed me at 11pm to ask me if I would send him the photos I had taken so he could add them to his report to the Estate manager who could give a refund and the estate manager would contact me in the next 24hours I was not contacted I sent an email I phoned don t phone the hall no one ever answers it after phoning the wedding phone number and saying if I didn t get a call back I would be driving up to the hall I finally got to speak to the estate manager Andrew Jeffery who said he had been too busy with weddings to call me back He said he would look into my complaint and he phoned me on the Monday to say they would offer me a complimentary stay in any of their hotels I told him I wanted a full refund as they had totally ruined the day for us I eventually got my money back on the 5th June but no offer of any good will I didn t even get an email of apology from the Estate manager and he told me he couldn t authorise a refund absolutely disgusting service from this company please look at the photos and zoom in I have stayed in hotels all over the world and I have never had such a shoddy room or service

No refund
I booked 2 rooms as I was due to attend a wedding in July 2026 Unfortunately the wedding has been cancelled the couple have split I telephoned to cancel expecting a full refund of the 50 deposit but was told it is non-refundable Seriously this is 2 years in advance I stay in hotels a lot I have NEVER before encountered such a policy Also I was not informed at the time of booking that this was the policy the booking was made over the phone I did not receive any documentation to say that this was the policy I do not think that this bodes well for service at this hotel if this is the way they treat prospective customers If you are considering staying here or getting married here then I would give serious consideration to this Any business that treats people this way is to be avoided

Dirty
We stayed for 1 night room was 150 on arrival were told breakfast was not included as our room was not in the main hall it was 35 to add breakfast on The carpet was dirty and the room had a dog smell the occasional chair in room was very grubby there was a contact lens on the side of the sink that only showed when sink area was wet Radiators did not work kettle did not fit under tap so had to fill with cup The seal on complimentary water was open Overall very dirty and disappointing I did tell reception when handing key back but she did not say anything

Above and beyond
We were fortunate enough to be invited to wedding at Newton Hall recently The wedding itself was a fantastic occasion the staff looked after the guests very well and very professionally - I can only imagine the wedding party had even better attention I would have given the venue a 4 or 5 star review based solely on that but a hard 5 was ensured by Bekka one of the ladies they had on reception We were unfortunate to have one of our party injure themselves during a ceilidh dance not an uncommon occurrence at a good ceilidh Anyway this meant trying to secure a taxi at short notice and of course no taxi firm were willing or able to accomodate us after 2300 on a Friday night On hearing this Bekka offered us all 4 of us a lift home herself Wonderful generosity and hugely appreciated 5 stars for Bekka alone - Next day off to Alnwick minor injuries unit - who also get high marks
