FAQs

Stay OuIs Ouseburn a good base for exploring Newcastle?

Yes. Ouseburn is Newcastle’s creative riverside district, packed with independent cafés, music venues, galleries and riverside walks. Guests love the vibrant neighbourhood atmosphere while still being close to the Quayside and city centre.

How do I get into the city centre from the apartments?

The Quayside is about a 15-minute walk and the city centre roughly 20 minutes on foot. A regular bus service stops close to the apartments and runs directly into town, ideal for quick trips to Central Station. Taxis and Uber are also easy to book.

Do the apartments have river views?

Yes. Both apartments overlook the River Tyne with generous windows and plenty of natural light—perfect for enjoying the skyline and waterfront.

Are the flats suitable for longer corporate stays?

Definitely. Many guests are in Newcastle on contracts or extended projects. Each apartment has fast Wi-Fi, a work-friendly space, a fully equipped kitchen and generous storage, so you can settle in for weeks or months. Business invoices are available.

Can I book direct or do I need to use Airbnb/Vrbo?

You can book either way. Direct booking through this website offers the best rate and flexible cancellation, while Airbnb and Vrbo remain options for guests who prefer those platforms.

Do you have any independent accreditations?

Yes. Stay Ouseburn holds Airbnb Superhost and Guest Favourite status for consistently excellent reviews, and is independently assessed with the Safe, Clean & Legal® accreditation from Quality in Tourism, confirming that the apartments meet rigorous UK standards for safety, cleanliness and legal compliance.

Are you recognised for business travel?

Yes. We are registered with TrustedStays, which meets the requirements of corporate travel buyers and public-sector booking platforms.

How secure are the apartments?

The building has secure entry, monitored common areas and modern fire-safety measures. Each apartment is privately accessed and professionally maintained.

What accessibility features are there?

The building has lift access from street level to the apartments. Doorways and corridors are standard width; please contact us in advance if you have specific mobility needs so we can confirm suitability.

How can I reach Stay Ouseburn from Newcastle Airport?

The quickest route is a 25-minute taxi or Uber. Public transport is simple too: take the Metro to Manors station and connect with a local bus to Ouseburn.

What sustainability measures do you follow?

We minimise energy use with smart heating controls, use eco-friendly cleaning products and recycle wherever possible. Our apartments are managed paper-free and we encourage guests to recycle during their stay.

Is parking available?

Yes—secure on-site parking is included with every stay, which is rare this close to the Quayside.

How quiet are the apartments?

Despite the central location, the building sits away from main roads. Double glazing and high-quality fit-out keep the apartments calm for work or rest.

What do guests say about cleanliness and comfort?

Reviews consistently highlight spotless presentation, comfortable beds and high-quality furnishings. Professional cleaning is carried out before every stay.

What’s nearby if I want to eat or explore locally?

Right on the doorstep you’ll find independent coffee shops, micro-breweries, riverside pubs, art spaces and walking routes. Staying here feels like joining a friendly local community rather than a tourist strip.

Can I book a short weekend or a longer stay?

Both. We welcome short leisure breaks and longer corporate stays. Minimum stay requirements vary by apartment—check availability for your dates.
