"Jesmond Dene House (doubles from £108) is a boutique hotel 10 minutes’ drive from the centre in a Grade II-listed house with restaurant."
"You could be in a remote woodland at this elegant Victorian manor house hotel, but instead you’re just a six-minute taxi from the town centre in Jesmond Dene, a valley packed with fir trees, with the River Ouse Burn babbling past"
"Largely created by Norman Shaw in 1871 for a local arms manufacturer, this mansion showcases British Arts and Crafts at its most exuberant with its panelling, plasterwork, stone carvings and stained glass; a glorious historical mashup"
