Nice little Bamburgh B&B
Canny little B&B that's ticks all the essential B&B boxes just on the outskirts of Bamburgh, no issues, very quiet, Malcolm who did our breakfast was lovely and chatty. Parking could be an issue in busier months but that can be said for Bamburgh in general as it can get very busy. Good communication and instructions from them prior to the visit. Thank you!

Always a lovely stay.
A typical cozy British bed and breakfast. I love how intimate it feels. Being a family-run business also makes it feel like they truly care.

Hillcrest House was a nice place to stay in Bamburgh for a couple of nights. The castle and beach were within easy walking distance. The room was a decent size and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order in the morning and was very nice. The owners were very friendly and happy to help. Couldn't park in front of the property as the town was pretty busy, but we managed to park close by around the village green, a couple of minutes walk away

A very quaint little B&B. Check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. Bathroom could use a few updates but the overall look adds to the charm. Breakfast in the morning was quite lovely. Would definitely stay here again.

Hillcrest House was clean and comfortable. The area was fairly quiet and it was convenient for visiting the castle.The breakfast was very good too.
The on-street parking was quite busy when we arrived, but it eased off once the day-trippers had gone and we were able to move the car a bit closer.

We stayed for one night in room 1. The room view was pleasant looking over fields with the sea in the distance. Bed was king size and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and cooked fresh by the most welcoming host Mark.

Not good at all.
Awful check in, talking through an intercom! No other communication! NO PARKING, when the advert said parking, and we were supposed to have a sea view, but we overlooked the street. Average breakfast. Hundreds of people everywhere and hundreds of cars due to tourists visiting the castle. Awful experience.

B&b in
Easy self check in. No staff on site. Room as expected. No frills but very nice views and big bathroom with both large bath and shower. Really needed a full sized mirror somewhere.
Bed comfortable enough.
Breakfast was ok. Nice fruits and yogurts etc but cooked breakfast was very disappointing. Everything was well overcooked as if it had been made a long time in advance rather like the big hotel buffets Expect a nice fresh breakfast from a typical b&b so this was disappointing.
Helpful gentleman who served breakfast very kindly helped with luggage which was very much appreciated
All in all a nice stay

Very nice, clean and large rooms in the village of Bamburgh. Decent hot breakfast with friendly service, buffet was rather modest. It is a satellite B&B, so there is nobody around except for breakfast. It was the most expensive hotel in four weeks of travel and I had better hotels for much less. But it seems that in this area accommodations are generally very expensive.

Beautiful, friendly B&B
A wonderful place to stay in Bamburgh, great location in the centre of the town, walking distance to the beach and castle and many restaurants and cafes on your doorstep.
Lovely bright, clean room with a great breakfast and a wonderful owner, Mark who goes above and beyond to make your stay special. We had a wedding to attend the day we checked out and Mark invited us to stay in the lounge and help ourselves to tea and coffee and snacks and make ourselves at home until we were ready to leave - not many places would be so obliging! Thank you for a wonderful stay, will be recommending this little gem to all our friends and family
