The Telegraph8.0
"Next to the Castle Keep, you couldn’t be closer to the historic heart of Newcastle." Full review
Independent "Sitting like a symmetrical tiered wedding cake at the top of the quayside, right next to the medieval Castle Keep (that gives Newcastle its name), the Vermont is a grande dame of a hotel"
Independent "The Vermont is an independent hotel with views over the cathedral and both the Millennium and Tyne bridges, and just five minutes away from the city centre and main shopping districts"
