Well worth visiting again!

We enjoyed our stay at the Newcastle Inn. Our innkeeper, Julie, was friendly and helpful. She made an excellent recommendation for dinner and served a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon. We had never spent time in the Newcastle area. We will definitely visit the Inn again.

Wonderful stay - will certainly visit again!!

Julie was an incredible, accommodating host and made us feel so welcome at the inn! Providing hospitality during a pandemic is a challenge, yet Julie excelled at this, making us feel safe and comfortable in every aspect of our stay. Our guest room was spotless and cozy and the breakfast she prepared was phenomenal. She put extra care into making us feel at ease. It was a wonderful stay and we’ll certainly visit again soon!
