Accommodation

Probably the best accommodation and night life is in Newcastle and comes highly recommended. The city of Newcastle cannot be underestimated for its culture, architecture and vibrant excitement. Hotels and restaurants are varied and too numerous to mention but if you search on google for Newcastle upon Tyne you will be spoilt for choice.
