The property was lovely with views over the countryside. Room was clean and quiet.The breakfast was good with plenty of variety. Was looked after very well by the host. The reason people stay there is to visit the magnificent Bamburgh Castle overlooking the North Sea. Altogether well worth a stay

Fantastic location with excellent hosts. Everything about our stay was perfect with support from host Mark both leading up to and for the duration of the stay. The property is immaculate and has everything you need for a peaceful break. Location is fantastic for restaurants, shops, beach and Bamburgh castle. The breakfast and service were a perfect way to start our day.

Check in was difficult due to no light, first we couldn’t see the house number, or their hill crest sign, then the numbers in the black box which held the key to get in. (Both were very obvious in the daylight!!) Everything felt clean enough, but just worn out. A refresher coat of paint, new shower curtains and a cleaner carpet would go a long way!!

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!
