About Low Fell
Where to stay in Low Fell
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Most visitors sleep in Gateshead proper and come out to Low Fell for a particular address. The district keeps few beds. A stay here suits someone with a car or a bus pass, wanting quiet ground near Saltwell Towers and a short run back into Gateshead rather than a room in the middle of things.
Home House and Heathfield House mark the older end of that quiet.
