• Tim (9/5): Spacious, comfortable room and fantastic breakfast. - Large, comfortable room in a quiet location. Clean and spacious bathroom with spa. Excellent breakfast. Nothing really, but a selection of pillows and some nice bathroom products would make the place perfect. We were expecting eggs as a breakfast option too, but it was still all delicious.
• Anthony (9/5): A beautiful bnb in a great location. The hosts are well - The host Julie was delightfully welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The property is well located and beautifully presented. Nothing.

• Bonnie (10/5): Cosy and welcoming this B&B made my stay in Newcastle and I would gladly stay again! - The host was amazing! So easy to talk to and very welcoming and accommodating. There was good variety on the breakfast menu and the food was delicious. Building felt very secure to be in and the area was fairly quiet and felt comfortable to be in as someone who is not used to the city. As I stayed in the deluxe room the spa was such a great attribute as well as the balcony. I would recommend this B&B to anyone! I cannot fault anything.

We loved the property from our initial introduction by the owner, Julie.

• Duncan (8/5): Very good -
• Helen (9/5): House hunting. - It was Close to main street to access restaurants also if you have children it was Close to the park. It also was safe and secure via pin code to enter the property. The TV was a very small in comparison to other motel rooms. My hubby l9ves his TV and found this much similar to his screens at work. My husband would have liked a hot breakfast menu. It wasn't a choice on the menu. There is no cover parking for larger cars so we parked on the street and only to find the next day that the area has a large area of birds roosting on trees , our car was covered all over the bonnet and roof of the car. There isn't great lighting in the bathroom the lighting is not positioned near mirrors bright enough applying make up.

• Noreen (9/5): A beautiful property with top class fittings and fixtures... quiet location but close to everything. - This property is just gorgeous... Julie and her husband were so lovely... I would absolutely recommend this property... My only gripe and it’s not a big one is that this B&B advertises breakfast included however, breakfast is continental only and I think this should be stated on the website as my husband and I prefer a cooked breakfast.

• Jaymie (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet area and peaceful. Julie was lovely and accommodated our needs. Room was cozy and perfect for our weekend stay :)
• Mark (9/5): Quality B&B in excellent location - This is the second time we have stayed at Chaucer Palms. The standards that Julie keeps in terms of quality of the accommodation and breakfast served each day are the same from over 2 years ago which is of high standard Nothing I can raise as a problem.

• Timothy (10/5): Peaceful and welcoming - Extremely welcoming host and so quiet for a rest
• Tim (8/5): Very good - Good location,. Large room and bathroom, reasonable breakfast included. No cooked meat in breakfast choices as far as I could make out (sausage/ bacon etc)
• Ruth (10/5): lovely hosted accommodation - our room was very clean and comfortable, with many unique touches. The owners offered a great daily breakfast and other personal touches that lifted this accommodation above your average accommodation definitely into the boutique level. nothing we didn’t like. Maybe it could be hard to get a carpark but we had one of the reserved ones so we were fine.

• Barry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Danielle (2/5): Very poor - Air conditioning was very loud. Spa bath didn't hold water as plug was stuffed. Location was good. Wasn't worth the $250 per night
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarah (10/5): perfect getaway - beautifully appointed. location perfect. cheese, crackers and wine on arrival lovely touch.
• Bob (10/5): A super-clean, professionally managed and welcoming place - perfect for a short stay in Newcastle. - We were warmly welcomed by Julie, who offered valuable advice about places to visit, transport links and local eateries throughout our 4-day stay. Breakfast, included in the room-rate, was fresh and delicious, with plenty of choice. The cleanliness of our room (and of the premises generally) was beyond reproach - there was not so much as a fingerprint on a bathroom tap! The location is excellent - just a short walk to the many restaurants of Beaumont St. Nearby Gregson Park is a lovely place for a stroll.

• Shelley (10/5): Exceptional -
