Holiday Inn Newcastle - Gosforth Park

About Holiday Inn Newcastle - Gosforth Park

The Gosforth Park Holiday Inn sits well outside the centre, on the Great North Road at Seaton Burn where the A1 meets the A19 — the appeal here is the road network rather than a walkable location, and it suits a car-based visit or an early flight from Newcastle Airport more than a city weekend on foot.

The 151 rooms are standard IHG fare: comfortable rather than characterful, with the usual mix of standard doubles, twins and family rooms. The leisure side is a genuine draw for a hotel at this price point — a 15-metre indoor pool, gym, sauna, steam room and spa bath, all included for residents.

Food runs to an on-site restaurant and bar, and free parking is available on site, which matters given how car-dependent the location is. It is a practical choice for conferences, weddings in the function suite, or as a stopover before an early flight, rather than a base for exploring Grey Street and the Quayside.

Newcastle Airport is around ten minutes by car, and the city centre is a 15-20 minute drive or a bus ride away — factor that into any plan built around the Quayside or Grainger Town.
