Premier Inn Newcastle (Holystone) hotel
Contemporary budget rooms near the A19
About this hotel
This Premier Inn branch keeps things contemporary rather than plain: en suite rooms, air conditioning, a restaurant and free parking, positioned inland toward the A19 rather than on the coast. That trade-off suits families prioritising an easy road route to Wet N Wild and beyond over a sea view, and the 8.6 rating from 940 reviews reflects consistent delivery on that basic promise. The Holystone Bar and Restaurant sits seven minutes' walk away, a solid backup for an evening the on-site restaurant doesn't cover, and Stephenson Steam Railway is a nine-minute taxi ride for a rainy-day option. The overall impression is of a property that knows exactly what kind of guest it's for, rather than trying to be everything to everyone on a short family trip.

- On-site restaurant
- Free parking
Our take
This suits families wanting a reliable, air-conditioned budget room with easy road access to Wet N Wild and the wider region. It's not a coastal stay, so families set on sea views should look toward Tynemouth or Whitley Bay instead. It's a solid, dependable choice rather than a showstopper, which suits a lot of short family trips better than a flashier, pricier alternative would.
- ✓Book early for summer school holidays, since air conditioning at this price point is a genuine draw during warmer months.
- ✓Walk to The Holystone Bar and Restaurant for dinner at least once, since it's only seven minutes from the hotel.
- ✓Use the free parking and easy A19 access to combine a Wet N Wild day with a wider North East day trip.

Why guests love itWe chose this branch mainly for the air conditioning during a warm week, and it made a real difference after hot, tiring days at Wet N Wild. The room itself was standard Premier Inn, nothing surprising, but reliably comfortable. We walked to The Holystone Bar and Restaurant one evening for a change from the hotel restaurant, seven minutes away and worth the short walk. Being close to the A19 also meant getting to and from the water park never felt like a hassle.
