The Jesmond in Newcastle

This modern hotel will keep you and the hens in Jesmond which is actually Newcastle's answer to Notting Hill! And while you won't find Hugh Grant here (but Ant and Dec have been known to stop by the area every so often) you will be able to enjoy a trendy Italian restaurant, a lively bar and a gorgeous decked garden terrace where you can get together for a quick cocktail before taking your taxis to town.

All the bedrooms come with a full English breakfast included in the price as well as a TV, hairdryer, free WiFi, tea/coffee facilities, iron/ironing board and a telephone with a direct line to the 24hr reception. 10 minutes from the hotel's front door you'll find the high street MetroCentre shopping centre with popular brands like AllSaints, Ann Summers and Boux Avenue. Or if you fancy clearing your heads with a walk along the seaside then the North East coast can be reached within 20 minutes by Metro.

Best of all when it's time to party, the girl's will be only a short bus ride to the incredible nightlife of The Gate and beyond, and at GoHen's fabulous low rates you'll be able to afford even more nearly-married surprises for the guest of honour. Get the evening started with Bubbles & Hunks, wet the bride's veil in true German style in Newcastle's buzzing Bierkeller and treat her to a mouth-wateringly close encounter with The Dreamboys.
