Loved by guests
"The dinner was amazing, we also enjoyed the walks and breakfast was great"
"Our room (36 Family Junior Suite) was in separate building which was so quiet with private little garden terraces for the ground floor rooms in the block."
"The atmosphere was very calming and peaceful and the afternoon tea with champagne was exceptional."
Jesmond Dene House, Newcastle upon Tyne - A Grand Retreat
Jesmond Dene House stands as Newcastle's sole independent boutique hotel, an unusual, yet masterful, combination of townhouse and country house. This Grade II-listed Arts and Crafts building, set within the tranquil beauty of Jesmond Dene park, offers a unique haven of peace and sophistication, far removed from the urban clamour, yet within easy reach of the city.
Location
The hotel is strategically positioned in the leafy suburb of Jesmond, overlooking the wooded valley of Jesmond Dene itself. While the immediate surroundings offer the serene beauty of woodland walks and the soothing sounds of a tranquil waterfall, the more urbane pleasures of Acorn Road, with its chic boutiques and inviting cafés, are close at hand. For those seeking city attractions, Newcastle's Quayside is a mere 3 km away, with Victoria Tunnel and Exhibition Park also within easy reach. It offers a remarkable escape, with the parkland being the primary draw apart from the hotel's own charms.
Style and Character
The architecture speaks volumes, with the influence of 19th-century industrial development and landscape design, particularly Lord Armstrong's touch, evident throughout. Inside, the style is quietly elegant, characterized by softly striped carpets, clean-lined wood furniture, and feature wallpapers. Muted shades are judiciously enlivened with sophisticated accents of copper, sea-green, or plum-red, creating an atmosphere of refined, contemporary comfort. The magnificent, double-height Great Hall, with its wood panelling and inviting lounge and bar, offers a grand space for guests to explore when not in use for events.
Service and Facilities
With an award-winning pedigree, Jesmond Dene House ensures impeccable service, extending to exceptional C&B events for up to 110 guests, including banquets and buffets. Executive Head Chef Danny Parker, a MasterChef The Professionals finalist, leads a team inspired by both classic and modern cookery techniques. The hotel prioritizes responsible sourcing, with strong relationships ensuring produce is of the highest standard, preferably local. All ground-floor public areas, including the restaurant, bar, and lounge, are accessible to wheelchair users, underscoring a commitment to guest comfort. The New House also offers deluxe bedrooms and junior suites, with rooms available on the ground and first floors.
Rooms
The accommodation spans a range of categories, from Classic rooms to Junior Suites and larger apartments. Classic rooms, individually styled across the first and second floors, feature Egyptian cotton linens and colourful throws, with bathrooms offering underfloor heating and premium toiletries. Luxury rooms are distinguished by bay windows, wooden ceilings, and spacious mirrored bathrooms, some affording notable views. The suites, situated adjacent to the main house, are individually designed with options for garden patios or sloped ceilings. Family rooms are generously appointed, and specific rooms are adapted for disabled guests, such as Bedroom 37, an accessible Junior Suite with a fully equipped wet room.
Food and Drink
Dining at Jesmond Dene House is a highlight, centered around seasonal cuisine crafted from fresh, local produce at its award-winning restaurant, Fern. Chef Danny Parker's approach draws inspiration from classics and modern techniques, resulting in intriguing combinations such as scallops with apple and nasturtiums, or beef with puffed spelt and snails, presented with elegant flair. The bar, The Bar at Fern, offers a relaxing atmosphere for drinks and a menu featuring everything from sandwiches and lighter dishes to fish and chips and delightful desserts. The hotel also provides a famous Afternoon Tea experience, and can cater for events with a strong emphasis on quality produce.
Value for Money
As an award-winning 4 Red Star hotel with a 2-Rosette restaurant, Jesmond Dene House delivers a high-calibre experience. The combination of refined accommodation, exceptional dining, and a serene setting within its own grounds offers significant value for discerning travellers. The attention to detail, from the quality of produce to the service standards, suggests a stay here is a worthwhile indulgence, particularly for those seeking an escape that balances country house charm with urban accessibility.
Accessibility
Jesmond Dene House demonstrates a commendable commitment to accessibility. All ground-floor public areas, including the Restaurant, Bar, Lounge, and the Great Hall, are accessible to wheelchair users. Bedroom 37 is specifically designed as a disabled-access Junior Suite, featuring a fully accessible wet room and other adapted facilities. This thoughtful provision ensures a comfortable and inclusive stay for guests with mobility needs.
Family-Friendly
While not explicitly detailed as a primary focus, the provision of family rooms and the interlinking option of Rooms 6 and 7 (or 5 and 6) make Jesmond Dene House suitable for families. The spaciousness of certain suites and apartments, along with the unique setting in a park that includes a petting zoo, offers engaging elements for younger guests. The hotel's capacity for events, including banquets, also suggests flexibility in catering to family gatherings or celebrations.
“Jesmond Dene House impresses with its blend of boutique charm and tranquil setting. The dedication to locally-sourced cuisine and attentive staff create a genuinely warm environment. In my opinion, its location, close to both Jesmond Dene Park and Newcastle's city center, is a definitive advantage for any traveler.”
