About the hotel
A jewel in the heart of South Tyneside, this hotel was formally the home of Sir William Fox who was 3 times prime minister of New Zealand.
Situated in a conservation area in the historic village of Westoe, the hotel is well-positioned for enjoying this oasis of peace and tranquillity. The period residence has been tastefully furnished to reflect an age of literature and romance.
Located about 10 miles east of Newcastle city centre, the hotel is convenient for shopping and sightseeing in the bustling city.
The hotel was built in the late 1700's and has kept most of its traditional features.
