As a family hotel, it's hard to find fault with Newcastle airport's Holiday Inn. With free meals for under 12s and a welcoming atmosphere, the hotel is designed for kids. Once you've checked in, there's 16 acres of grounds for them to wear themselves out in and children's channels on the TV to keep them busy until bed time. If you manage to escape for half an hour, you can even take advantage of the hotel's pool.
