Newcastle is known for its arts with the BALTIC and Laing Art Gallery among two of the popular destinations people head for when visiting the city.
However, for some people simply visiting galleries and appreciating the art on display isn't quite enough. They'd rather be surrounded by paintings, stained glass and stunning architectural features from years gone by.
That's why Guardian Travel has put together a list of ten great arts and crafts hotels in the UK. And one hotel, originally a fine Georgian house, in the North East has made it onto the list.
