Best Hotels near East Cramlington Local Nature Reserve, Cramlington

With Travelodge you get what you pay for. Inside was basic but very clean and staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. However the outside area was very dirty and littered, topped off with a rubbish skip right at the front door. How this was allowed to be placed there is beyond me. I realise Travelodge isint the only tenant (Burgerking, Greggs and a petrol station) but no effort is made to maintain the overall area. Bins in plain view, rubbish strewn around and and overal lair of neglect. with both littering and general landscaping. Next time I think i would pay a few pounds extra and stay in the Holiday Inn up the road. Purely to get away from the dirt..

The hotel is new, spacious and well equipped. There is a children's activity area in the hall where children can read and play, and older children can also play table football. The hotel also offers dinner, and there is a bar for drinks. The room is very spacious. Most of the holiday family rooms booked during the trip are in the same condition. This room is the most spacious. The sofa bed is still spacious and comfortable. If you are traveling with children passing by here, living here is very suitable.

I use a wheelchair & my daughter is my carer. So had an accessible room on the ground floor. We also had our dog with us. I have to say that all the staff across the board from top to bottom are so amazing. They are kind, caring, helpful and make time to listen if you need them. The breakfast is always fresh, hot & tasty. The room is always spotlessly clean & the bed is so comfortable. I would recommend this particular hotel to anyone. You are made to feel welcome & respected by every member of staff. Will return in the future, no question about it. A huge thank you to each & every member of the team. You are all amazing. Thank you for make our stay so memorable & wonderful.

We stayed in Holiday Inn for 2 nights in May. The location is good, the room average and very small, the shower ok. The one star rating comes from the fact that a few weeks after our stay we received a fine from ‘Parking eye’ stating that we hadn’t paid for parking in the car park. This is a public car park next to the hotel which was included as it is advertised ‘with complimentary free parking on site’. We gave our car registration to the person at the reception who logged it in to his device. We were not told we had to do anything more! When we contacted the hotel to explain what had happened, they said that it had nothing to do with them and therefore we had to appeal ourselves- they only provided us with a letter which proved we had stayed at the hotel on those days. Parking eye said that the evidence wasn’t sufficient and therefore our appeal was unsuccessful. If you stay at this hotel, just bear in mind that you may need to add another £60 on top of the price for the potential parking fine. For a hotel to advertise free complimentary parking and then not to have the decency to intervene when things go wrong and it is clearly their fault, it is simply ridiculous! STAY AWAY!

Great location close to train station. Very clean modern hotel at a good price. Nice pretty chicks at the reception. Very comfortable bed and a great bathroom. Many attractions near the hotel. Snacks and drinks are available from the vending machine. There are code keys everywhere, which means that outsiders have limited opportunities to roam around the hotel. The only downside turned out to be that a room with a window means a room with a window to other windows from which other residents were staring.

I stayed 4 nights as part of a National Coach Holiday trip, with Bed Breakfast and Evening meal included in the package. The location of the hotel and the communal areas cannot be faulted, and all areas were very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. The big disappointment was being told that we could not get our evening meal until 7.30pm. We had to pre book from a 3 course menu on arrival and subsequently each evening. 7.30 pm was late for a lot of us, being of a mature age! Also service was badly planned as the waiting staff came out and went round the room asking who was having which dish. This not only took a lot of time and also some people forgot what they had pre -ordered. With 3 courses to serve we did not finish until 9pm. This is not the waiting staff's fault, but bad management practice. However on the fourth night, all was chaos. two more coach parties had been booked in and there was mayhem, and a near riot in the dining room with about 160 people trying to get seated. it was after 8pm before service started, again not the fault of the staff. A lady on our table did not get her starter at all. I think she was quite relieved as Bruschetta does not consist of a lump of soggy brown bread, a roughly chopped tomato, some thick slices of onion, and the half dead and wilted salad greens which were served with most meals. No apology from the management. Breakfast was excellent. The rooms were a good size and were clean, but the bathroom was shabby, chipped bath and basin and a toilet seat that was not very secure. The beverage station did not get replenished until Thursday, and the dirty mugs did not get replaced throughout our stay. The. basin tap broke on Thursday morning, which I reported, but it did not get fixed. Can't fault the staff, but working practice and management leave a lot to be desired. Thank goodness for my fellow travellers, whose friendship and brilliant sense of humour made it all worthwhile. Also thanks to National Coach Holidays and our driver.

Our third stay in 12 months. We enjoy the location of this hotel, so handy for bars and restaurants; no taxis required! The breakfast is also amazing, loads of choice, food is hot and fresh, tables always clean and staff are well organised and friendly. The beds are really comfortable, and shower has always been good, and rooms/linen always clean. We like the ice bucket provided and machine in the hall, the complimentary water and having robes and slippers in the room. Two small points that weren't great were as follows. We've never yet had a working fridge in our room. Not sure whether this is a service no longer offered for some reason, if there's a way to switch it on/request it to be on or if we're just unlucky and always get one that doesn't work! Not a major problem, just would be nice to have, or take it away so we don't think it should be working. The other point is just the general decor, as in marked/damaged paintwork, tired fittings, and in this bathroom, damp affecting the grout and shower cubicle fittings plus a big crack in the sink. More wear and tear than cleanliness, and hopefully general freshen up/ refurb is on the cards soon. Still a great hotel in a great location, we'll be back!
