Jesmond Dene House Winners of Good Hotel Guide Award

Boutique hotel, Jesmond Dene House has been chosen as one of the winners of the Good Hotel Guide Editor’s Choice 2023 awards for Cities/Towns Hotels.

Established in 1978, the Good Hotel Guide is the only truly independent UK hotel guide – hotels cannot buy their entry into the print edition and neither the editors nor the inspectors accept free hospitality on their anonymous visits to hotels. Now owned by Richard Fraiman, who has been CEO since 2014, the editorial team is headed up by the former travel editor and assistant travel editor of The Times, Jane Knight and Kate Quill, respectively.

The Good Hotel Guide features 650 hotels, inns, B&Bs and guesthouses, with 414 main entries and 44 new entries (these being a combination of new properties and new entries to the Guide).

Christina Stephenson, Sales, Marketing and Events manager at Jesmond Dene House said: “It’s fantastic to receive such a prestigious, independent award from The Good Hotel Guide and testament to the amazing team we have here at Jesmond Dene House.”

Readers play a crucial role by reporting on existing entries as well as recommending new discoveries. Unlike reader-review websites, which are open to abuse from unscrupulous hoteliers and guests with a grudge, these reports are carefully filtered. ‘Word of mouth in print’ is a good way of describing how the Good Hotel Guide works. Whenever a review of a hotel or B&B is received, the author’s name, address and other details are carefully recorded.
