We had a great stay at Rydge’s Newcastle. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the kids loved the pool with the waterside. It’s very easy walking distance to a number of great places to eat, or even just for a stroll down the boardwalk. We will definitely stay again.

The property was in a great location and the service by staff in all areas was fantastic. The only negative comment I have was the distance to walk to the room. I didn't think to check how far it would be as we knew the hotel has a lift, but might be worth mentioning when taking bookings as my husband can walk but not long distances at times, due to ilness.
