This was not our first time staying at Close House and it certainly won't be the last.
The rooms are located in a separate courtyard building just up from the main building. On this occasion we stayed on the first floor, last time we were on the ground floor. I think the ground floor rooms are a little larger, however the first floor have beautiful beams - both are huge! They're suites not rooms. The decor and detailing are very high end.
Breakfast was beautiful. It wasn't a buffet syle as in most other hotels. There was a menu and it was cooked to order. Although we didn't eat lunch or dinner this time we have done many times before. I'm gluten free and have always felt very well looked after. All meals are served in the main building (clubhouse) and have the most beautiful views over the golf course.
The golf course is stunning but you don't have to ve a golfer to appreciate it, there are some beautiful walks around the grounds.
There is plenty of parking which is included.
I would estimate that it's approximately 10 minutes drive to Metro Centre or Newcastle City Centre if you fancy a spot of shopping.
