If you’re hoping for a getaway to remember this summer, you need look no further than the unique places that the North East has to offer.
While a sleek and modern hotel may be the choice for some, it’s hard to beat the charming appeal of staying somewhere with breathtaking period features - and knowing that you’re resting your head in a place with centuries of stories to tell. Whether it’s a 17th century hotel on the edge of Northumberland National Park, an 18th century luxury mansion, or an ancient bed-and-breakfast in a converted mill, there are places scattered across the North East that are steeped in history and now offer the chance for overnight stays.
Historic UK , the History and Heritage Accommodation Guide which is home to an extensive directory of historic places to stay, has a huge list of historical places in the North East where you can enjoy a getaway with a difference.
