We had a fantastic day at Shawsgate Vineyard. The tour was extremely informative and the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch consisted of cheese, ham, salad and bread with a delicious cheesecake for dessert. There was no choice, but the food was good. The wine tasting involved quite a lot of wine, and we were able to choose a glass of our favourite for lunch - something to consider if you are driving! I would highly recommend this!

Absolutely delicious in beautiful surroundings. What’s not to love!

Arrived early but the amazing staff still accommodated us, the experience was great and the food was so good! Can’t wait to go back!

Great saving for a family that loves bowling and having fun together.

Lovely food & wine. Atmosphere was really nice and staff were friendly.

My 13-year-old and I had an amazing time on the meerkat experience. We went into three different enclosures where the meerkats climbed on us, sat on us and we got to feed them. We were really lucky as in the last enclosure there were three babies (6 wks) who also climbed on us and wanted lots of snuggles. Our guide was Charlotte who was fab and very knowledgeable. The actual zoo is great too with lots of different animals to see and some to handfeed as well. Definitely recommend this experience gift, and Hoo Zoo

Lovely hotel and was well situated for all the events and activities we required in central Newcastle

A fab informative enjoyable experience

We went as a family of 5, A 5 year old, 4 year old and 3 week old. We had a great time and it was perfect for our 5 and 4 year old to do activities independently and as a family We can’t wait to go again!

Very different from the usual afternoon tea.. Definitely one of the best I've ever had

Had a lovely afternoon tea. Food excelent and the staff very friendly and attentive. The venue is also beautiful with lovely gardens surrounding the building. A hidden gem . Will definately be returning
