Oriental Hotel

I needed to try "Newcastle's Best Pizza" and it's safe to say it isn't. It's good pizza, don't get me wrong, but it's nowhere near the best in and around Newcastle. We had the potato and rosemary which was really nice, a good balance of sweet onion and toppings. I really wanted blue cheese on it but they didn't have it. I feel like the pizza needs something like that. The Margherita was very tasty, probably one of the best I have had. Seemed like it had truffle oil on it, although not listed, so that may have just been my taste deceiving me. We also had cheese and herd squares, they were decent. I'm not sure if they offer share plates, we certainly weren't and to me that's a major flaw in any service point. It feels like a takeaway shop with tables if you want to eat there. Would I go back, sure, if I'm in the area and craving pizza and don't want to drive 10-15 minutes to my favourite pizza shop but this wouldn't be a place I would go out of my way to go to again.

Clean, comfortable and no frills, but excellent atmosphere, great location and a good vibe. It was old style, but quaint and what I expected. The pub has a charm about it and is obviously a very popular local meeting place. Nothing stands out as an issue, maybe the bed could have a but more comfortable. But it wasn’t a big deal. I wasn’t expecting 5 star. You have shared facilities and that can be a challenge. But I knew that before I went. Just get your mindset ready for that.

Very cheap prices but that doesn't reflect on the experience needed a quick stay on our road trip. Nice little pub good pizza and rooms are clean and as to be expected for the price. Nor to fat walk from the beach nice little lookout and rock pools to swim in plus the beach is nice. A minute walk from some small shops and cafes woukd stay again
