Inside the luxurious sports-crazy hotel where Newcastle United are staying whilst in Austria

Newcastle United players and staff are staying in a four-star hotel with just about everything you could ever need whilst in Austria.

Eddie Howe's side is spending nine days abroad in Europe this July to take part in pre-season training, whilst allowing building work to be completed at their Benton training ground.

The Magpies will face 1860 Munich and Mainz 05 in friendlies whilst in Austria in preparation for the return of the Premier League season on August 6.

The Hotel Gut Brandlhof will play host to the staff and players this week.

The secluded resort is home to a popular golf course and has other sports facilities including tennis courts, a large gym and a high ropes course, as well as a full spa.

A night at the hotel in July will normally cost customers around £315 with rooms available both in the hotel and in a self-catered space known as The Lodge.

The hotel also prides itself on its top-notch cuisine and on offering clients an experience which provides a "unique balance between business and pleasure".

Hotel Gut Brandlhof averages a score of 4.5 stars on TripAdvisor with recent guests praising the views of waterfalls, sports facilities, chefs willing to cater to any diet and top cocktails too.
