The property is situated 42 km from MetroCentre, 42 km from Theatre Royal and 43 km from Utilita Arena. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Northumbria University is 44 km from the hostel, while Sage Gateshead is 45 km from the property. The nearest airport is Newcastle International Airport, 39 km from Newbrough Bunkhouse. Nice and clean place in the peaceful country side close to Hexham and some of the main sights along Hadrian's Wall. Nick was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. It was a quiet week so had the whole place to myself, but everything I needed was at the hostel/bunkhouse. Basic breakfast available for a cheap price, good WiFi, beautiful nature surroundings and quiet so I could get a good night's sleep. Good budget accommodation to stay for a few nights. Hexham is a 17 minutes drive with bus, the bus came only every second hour, but was always on time, so getting back and forth was relatively easy.
