Whole self-contained flats and houses across Newcastle, Gateshead and the north Tyneside coast, from £82 a night all in — bills, wi-fi, linen and the end-of-stay clean are inside that figure, not added to it.
This is written for people who need somewhere to actually live for a few weeks rather than a hotel room for a night: relocating or between houses, on placement at the RVI or the Freeman, staying near someone who is in hospital, placed by an insurer after a flood or a fire, or running a project out of the city centre or Cobalt.
The honest bit first. We let whole properties — your own front door, your own kitchen, nobody else with a key. We do not run serviced apartments in a block, and if one bedroom in the middle of town for two nights with a lift and a front desk is what you actually need, an aparthotel is the better answer. We explain where that line falls further down rather than blurring it.
Below: the real nightly and monthly figures read off our own booking system this week, what four weeks costs against three nights in the same house, measured drive times to the three main hospitals, and exactly what is and is not in the rate.
How much is serviced accommodation in Newcastle?
From £82 a night for a whole two-bedroom flat, all in. That is the lowest total nightly figure across our Newcastle, Gateshead and coastal properties, read live from our own booking system in September 2026, with bills, wi-fi, linen and the clean included. A four-bedroom house starts at £124 a night on a four-week booking. The table below sets out each property and what the figure is based on.
We come back the same working day with what is genuinely free on your dates and a fixed total — or tell you straight if we cannot cover it. From £82 a night all in, £200 refundable deposit, self check-in from 3pm. If you are not sure of the dates yet, send the rough window anyway and we will hold a quote. A postcode or the name of a hospital or office is more use to us than the word "Newcastle" on its own.
Or ring 0113 479 0251 — we answer during working hoursEvery figure in this table is a total divided by the nights — the accommodation, the bills and the end-of-stay clean, all of it. It is not a headline rate with the clean bolted on at checkout.
| Property | Size | From, per night all in | What that figure is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-bedroom flat, Whitley Bay Parking and a garden, 12 min from Cobalt | 2 bed, sleeps 4 | £82 | Four weeks from 2 November, £2,289 in total |
| Two-bedroom flat, Low Fell Parking, 2 min from the Queen Elizabeth | 2 bed, sleeps 6 | £97 | Four weeks from 2 November, £2,723 in total |
| Four-bedroom house, Westgate Road 6 min from Central Station and the RVI | 4 bed, sleeps 10 | £124 | Four weeks from 9 November, £3,477 in total |
| Four-bedroom house, Gateshead Free parking, 5 min from the Quayside | 4 bed, sleeps 10 | £202 | One week from 9 November, £1,416 in total |
Two further properties sit in the same catchment — a four-bedroom flat by St James' Park and a two-bedroom flat five minutes from the beach at Whitley Bay. Both were booked solid across every date we checked to January, so we have deliberately left them out of the table rather than publish a rate we cannot honour. They appear in the carousel further down and they do come free.
Read directly from the Stayful booking system on 12 September 2026, sampling sixteen consecutive weekly windows and three four-week windows for every property in the catchment. They are not market estimates and they are not last quarter's figures. What they are is a snapshot: nightly rates move with demand, and a week in late December priced 40 per cent above the same week in November on one of these houses. Send your actual dates and we will quote the real total, which then does not move.
Bookers coming from hotels usually assume the opposite, so here is the same property, the same start date, three different lengths.
Our four-bedroom house on Westgate Road, checking in 9 November 2026: £441 for three nights, which is £147.00 a night. £979 for a week, which is £139.86. £3,477 for four weeks, which is £124.18. Same house, same beds, same start date.
The discount is applied by the booking engine rather than negotiated, so it is the same for everyone and you can see it before you commit.
That fourteen-night minimum is worth reading as a filter rather than an obstacle. It exists because these properties work best for the person staying a fortnight or a season, and it is the clearest signal of who this page is for.
The second list is what makes the first one believable.
No tenancy agreement, no referencing, no agency fee and no deposit scheme. You book dates the way you would book a hotel, and you leave when the dates end.
Most of the industry uses the two phrases interchangeably. We do not, because they describe genuinely different things and the difference decides whether we are any use to you.
A serviced apartment is normally one or two bedrooms inside a block, with a shared entrance, a lift and other units around it. There is often a reception, sometimes a gym, and the rent carries the cost of that service. Aparthotels are the same idea run closer to a hotel. In Newcastle that market is well served, mostly in the centre, and Stayful does not supply it — we do not own blocks, we do not source apartments in them, and we are not going to tell you we do.
What we let is serviced accommodation in the broader and older sense: an ordinary flat or house, furnished, professionally managed, cleaned between stays, let with everything switched on and everything in one figure. The service is real — you are not signing a tenancy or opening a utility account — but it comes without the block.
So the practical test is simple.
Book an aparthotel if you want one or two nights, a central postcode, a lift, step-free access or a front desk at midnight. That is a real advantage and we are not going to argue with it. Talk to us if you want a fortnight or longer, a separate sitting room, a full kitchen, a washing machine, somewhere to park for free, and a household of two or four or eight under one roof rather than split across separate units. Different jobs, different products, and the wrong one is expensive either way.
People arrive at this page searching serviced accommodation Newcastle, serviced accommodation Newcastle upon Tyne, short stay accommodation, corporate accommodation and monthly accommodation with bills included. Those all land in the same place. The one word we will not accept as a synonym is apartment, for the reason above.
Six situations account for most of it, and the requirements are different enough to be worth naming.
Moving to the city, or between houses. A completion date slipped, or the job started before the move did. A month or two in a furnished house with no tenancy, no referencing and no agency fee costs less than a hotel and considerably less stress than a six-month let you then have to break.
On placement at one of the hospitals. Locum doctors, agency nurses and allied health staff on rotation at the RVI, the Freeman or the Queen Elizabeth. The drive times below are measured from our front doors, and the Low Fell flat is two minutes from the Queen Elizabeth.
Visiting someone who is in hospital. A kitchen matters more than it sounds when you are doing this for three weeks, and so does being able to come and go at four in the morning without passing a reception desk. We keep this section brief deliberately: if this is you, ring rather than read, and we will sort it out quickly.
Placed by an insurer. After a fire, a flood or an escape of water. We invoice the insurer or the loss adjuster directly, and the property is furnished and ready rather than needing anything from you.
A project or consulting team on a client site. Four people on a six-week engagement in one house, with a table to work at in the evening, costs less than four hotel rooms and produces one invoice instead of four folios.
A corporate traveller who is tired of hotel rooms. Usually the third or fourth trip to the same city, at which point a kitchen and a sitting room start to matter more than a turndown service.
If none of those is you but the dates and the shape fit, that is fine too. Tell us what you need and we will tell you honestly whether we have it.
Routed from the actual postcode of each property rather than from the middle of the city. Distances are road miles and times are typical off-peak driving.
| From | Royal Victoria Infirmary | Freeman Hospital | Queen Elizabeth, Gateshead | Central Station | Airport |

| Westgate Road Four-bedroom house, NE4 | 1.8 mi, 6 min | 4.2 mi, 12 min | 4.8 mi, 13 min | 1.9 mi, 6 min | 6.8 mi, 11 min |
| Low Fell Two-bedroom flat, NE9 | 4.2 mi, 12 min | 5.9 mi, 17 min | 0.7 mi, 2 min | 3.3 mi, 10 min | 10.1 mi, 19 min |

Two things follow from that table and neither is obvious from a map.
The Low Fell flat is 0.7 miles from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which is a two-minute drive and a walk if you would rather. For a family sitting with someone on a ward at the QE, or a locum on a rotation there, nothing else in our portfolio comes close.
The coast is further out than people expect and closer than they expect to the right things. Whitley Bay is 22 minutes from Central Station but only 12 from Cobalt Business Park and 17 from the Freeman. If your reason for being here is the office park or the Freeman rather than the city centre, the coastal flat is cheaper and nearer at the same time.
Three in Newcastle, two on the coast and in Tyne and Wear, one in Gateshead. Every card goes to the real listing with its own photographs, its own calendar and its own rate. Availability shown there is live, so if a property is gone for your dates it will tell you rather than making you enquire to find out.
Two of these eight rows go the aparthotel's way and one is a straight draw. They are in because a comparison that only ever points one way is advertising rather than a comparison.
The row that decides it for most people is the last one. If you are staying long enough for the monthly discount to apply, the gap opens considerably; if you are here for two nights, it never does.
Deposit. £200, fully refundable after the stay.
Cancellation. Stated plainly in writing at the point of quote, before you pay anything, and it mirrors the policy applied to the same property on the platforms. We do not run a policy you have to go looking for. Worth saying honestly: a hotel on a flexible rate will beat us on same-day cancellation, and if your dates are genuinely uncertain that is a fair reason to book one.
Extensions. A four-week stay becoming eight is the single most common thing that happens to these bookings, particularly on hospital placements and insurance claims where nobody knows the end date at the start. Tell us as early as you can and we will extend the same property wherever availability allows — same keys, no rebooking. We cannot guarantee a specific property indefinitely, and if it is genuinely let after your dates we will say so early enough for you to plan.
Invoicing. One invoice, matched to a purchase order, a claim reference or a cost centre. Thirty-day terms for approved accounts.
Stayful manages around 70 properties across 45+ areas of England and has hosted more than 10,000 nights. Co-founded by Zac Harrison and Martyn Butler. The six Newcastle and Gateshead properties on this page are managed by us directly rather than brokered — the person who answers the phone is the person who deals with the boiler. That is a different proposition from a listings site or an agency, and it is the reason booking direct works here at all.
4.6 out of 5 from 21 Google reviews. That is the company-level rating from our Google Business Profile and it is the figure our structured data publishes.
Separately, guests score individual categories across the portfolio on Airbnb, over more than 10,000 nights hosted:
Airbnb guest category scores across the Stayful portfolio, September 2026. These are category scores, not an overall company rating, and we do not present them as one.
Read the communication figure as operational reliability rather than hospitality. It sits at 4.9 because things do occasionally go wrong in a house — a boiler, a washing machine, a lock — and the thing that matters when you are living somewhere for a month is how fast it gets fixed.
A ground-floor bedroom. Free parking for two cars. Pet friendly. A desk you can actually work at. Somewhere within walking distance of a particular ward. A garden. Four separate bedrooms rather than a sofa bed making up the numbers. We have properties across the portfolio that cover all of these — but what is free in Newcastle on your dates depends on the dates. Send the requirements and we will tell you exactly what we can do, or tell you honestly if we cannot. With six properties across the city, the coast and Gateshead there is usually more than one way to make a set of dates work.
From £82 a night all in for a whole two-bedroom flat, rising to around £124 a night for a four-bedroom house on a four-week booking and £202 a night for a ten-guest house taken by the week. Those are totals divided by nights — bills, wi-fi, linen and the end-of-stay clean are inside them.
Figures read from our booking system on 12 September 2026 across sixteen weekly and three four-week windows. Rates move with the dates, so send yours and we will quote the real total.
A serviced apartment is normally one or two bedrooms inside a block, with a shared entrance, a lift and other units around it, often with a reception. An aparthotel is the same idea run closer to a hotel.
What we let is a whole flat or house — your own front door, your own kitchen, nobody else with a key — furnished, managed, cleaned between stays and let with all the bills in one figure. Stayful does not supply serviced apartments in blocks and does not source them. If a block is what you need, an aparthotel operator is the right call and we would rather say so.
Yes, all of them. Gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are inside the nightly figure, along with linen, towels and the end-of-stay clean.
You are staying as a guest rather than renting as a tenant, so no utility account is ever opened in your name and you are never on the council tax bill however long you stay.
It varies by property and by date. Across the six properties in the Newcastle catchment we currently see minimums of two, three, five and fourteen nights depending on which house and which week.
The two city-centre flats move to a fourteen-night minimum from early November. If you need one or two nights in the centre, an aparthotel or a hotel will serve you better — that is not a market we are built for.
Yes, and it is the length these properties suit best. A week or more takes 10 per cent off the accommodation automatically; four weeks or more takes 20 to 30 per cent depending on the property.
A worked example from our own system: the Westgate Road house, checking in 9 November, is £147.00 a night for three nights, £139.86 for a week and £124.18 for four weeks. Same house, same start date.
For one or two nights, usually not. For a fortnight or a month with more than one person, almost always — and the gap widens because the kitchen and the washing machine take costs out of the trip that a hotel leaves in.
We will not publish a blanket percentage, because Newcastle room rates swing hard around match days at St James' Park, the Great North Run and the Christmas market. Send your dates and compare the real total against a real quote.
A £200 damage deposit, fully refundable after the stay. There is no tenancy deposit, no deposit protection scheme, no referencing and no agency fee, because this is a booking rather than a let.
Several of the properties have free off-street parking, including the flat at Whitley Bay and the four-bedroom house in Gateshead. It is stated per property before you book rather than claimed across the board.
We will not tell you a specific Newcastle property has space on your dates until we have checked it. Ask at enquiry and you will get a straight answer.
Measured by road from the properties themselves. Low Fell is 0.7 miles and about two minutes from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. Westgate Road is 1.8 miles and six minutes from the Royal Victoria Infirmary, and 4.2 miles and twelve minutes from the Freeman.
Whitley Bay is 7.7 miles and seventeen minutes from the Freeman, which is nearer than the drive from the city centre.
Yes. One invoice for the whole booking, matched to a purchase order, a cost centre or a claim reference, with thirty-day terms for approved accounts.
Insurance placements after a fire, a flood or an escape of water are a regular part of what we do, and we deal with the loss adjuster directly if that is easier than routing it through you.
Extensions are the common case, particularly on hospital placements and insurance claims where nobody knows the end date at the start. Tell us early and we will extend the same property wherever availability allows, with no rebooking and the same keys.
We cannot guarantee a specific property indefinitely. If it is genuinely booked after your dates, you will hear that early enough to plan rather than at the last minute.
It is a fair question and worth answering properly. Booking direct means you are dealing with us rather than a platform's resolution centre, which cuts both ways. What you get instead is a named contact, a landline answered by the people who manage the property, a cancellation position stated in writing before you pay, and the same £200 refundable deposit.
Stayful manages around 70 properties across England and has hosted more than 10,000 nights, and holds 4.6 out of 5 from 21 Google reviews. The same properties are on the platforms if you would rather book there.
We answer calls during working hours. If you are arranging something around a hospital admission or an insurance placement, ring rather than fill in the form — it is faster and we can usually tell you there and then.
