Great family stay
Really nice stay and Mark was very friendly and helpful. He suggested places to go and breakfast provided was very tasty and to exact requirements.
I would highly recommend as it is near the castle and other places to visit such as the beach and museum.
We had a great stay and will definitely visit again.

Relaxing night away
Good location for the hotel, excellent size of the bedroom, clean and comfy bed and a superb breakfast, what more could you ask for.
Parking was limited but we got sorted eventually.
Quaint little village with the awesome views of the castle and the best beach you could find, best I have been to in this country or abroad.
Will go back again !!

He also turns out a fantastic breakfast with loads of choice as well. Although property needs a bit of sprucing up it was warm, comfortable and relaxing.

Totally charmed
We were totally charmed with our stay at Hillcrest House Bed & Breakfast in Bamburgh! We climbed the beautiful staircase to our room (Room 1, Deluxe Double Room, Sea View) - we could see the North Sea from our window and right out the window was a sheep and bunny field! We love this! The breakfast options were amazing and Malcom cooked it to perfection!
