Why Stay at Newtown Park Hotel for a Family Break
Such a lovely stay in this hotel. We really enjoyed all aspects of our stay. The food was lovely, very helpful staff especially in the bar area when we ate. The playgrounds, crazy golf and games room were brilliant additions for families and the leisure centre was also very good. We couldn’t fault our room.
The hotels desire for feedback via email survey upon checkout is nice to see as it shows a desire to improve if needed and to acknowledge what is done well. We didn’t find any faults and we will definitely return in the future. This hotel is definitely not to be missed for anyone wanting a hotel stay with kids. They go the extra mile and do it very well.

Me my sister and our children visited this lovely hotel in July 2025…. The food was lovely and the hotel staff where amazing, in particular id like to mention the server Jenny in the bar restaurant, she was so lovely, excellent with our kids, funny and just her charismatic approach to the job really contributed to the atmosphere here, she is one in a million and Newtown Park Hotel are super lucky to have her with their team!
Michelle, Trip Advisor, July 2025
Staff were really kind and accommodating.
Little bonus was the small mini golf and play area out back for the kids .
Met the kindest staff member her name was Jenny in the courtyard bar.
She couldn’t be more accommodating, kind and she gave a very homely feeling to the place. She also was so good with the kids chatting to them and making them laugh and they loved her. She is an absolute gem!
Brilliant Stay!
