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.

It was a nice place to stay with families. Breakfast was very nice except coffee system. It’s big hotel but room was noisy. In bathroom, there wasn’t hand washing soap. Every time we need to use from body washing soap because it’s all open systems bathroom.
