Newcastle has emerged as one of Britain’s favourite cultural, shopping and short break destinations. At The County Hotel, we have 114 bedrooms, including 18 Premier Executive rooms, and seven meeting rooms, the largest seating 180 people theatre-style. The County is one of the few hotels in Newcastle directly opposite Train station, so it’s easy to get here, and with its authentic Victorian features, the hotel is a very popular city-centre wedding venue.
