novotel or tulip in are probably the best ones to go for in the city centre.. tulip in is £75 for a family room that sleeps 4 (per night).. maybe the girls can all share that one so for 2 nights that would be £150, then divide it by 4, its under £40 each for a 2 night stay
and the two guys get a twin room..
or you could just go for a b & b in jesmond, you will probably get a twin room or a double for £30 a night..
i have enquied about a hoilday cottage, but its a long shot.. as they only normaly let people have them on a tarrif per week.. it was £300 for a week, but i emailed them anyway, asking the question about just weekends.. you never know, its 10 mins drive from newcastle, so probably £20 taxi back in at night..
off out now, to spoil my mum… will get back looking tonight
in the mean time.. rainny/nismo/ruby.. are you also looking at friday and saturday? or just saturday?
