Jesmond Dene House - Description

Jesmond Dene House Hotel has 40 well-designed rooms in a richly historic building offering understated luxury and rather good food. Overlooking the small wooded valley of Jesmond Dene, it guarantees peace, escapism and a refreshing change. Newcastle’s city centre, however, is only a five-minute drive. Fresh and light interiors are set against the fine, rich features of this Arts and Crafts house. Big beds, crisp bathrooms, space to work, space to relax. There are handsome rooms for dining, meeting and celebrating - from the wood-panelled Great Hall to the light-filled Garden Room. Eight of the bedrooms are in the New House, a modern interpretation of Arts and Crafts style. Food is straightforward, flavoursome, fresh, and under the guiding hand of the region’s leading chef restaurateur, Terry Laybourne. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly but with a passionate attention to detail. No gimmicks, no fuss; just a genuinely warm welcome and an invitation to indulge.
