    The room was a super size and very comfortable with a lovely view over the fields. Toiletries and fluffy towels!! The breakfast was delicious with plenty to choose from. The cooked breakfast was so fresh and tasty. The staff were very helpful.

    Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice. We also had an evening meal at the hotel and this was great. Lovely food, good bar and all of the staff were excellent. Really helpful and courteous, despite it being pretty busy. Would thoroughly...

We purchased the hotel in 2002 and we have worked hard and re-invested to totally modernise the property. Our aim is to offer modern comfortable accommodation to families, couples, groups and those travelling alone. Our team are like a family and we all work hard and are proud of what we offer our guests - from the accommodation to the food to our customer service.
We both grew up in the North East (Sunderland and Newcastle!!) and Bamburgh was always a family favourite place for a day trip. We are now lucky enough to be bringing our own family up here and the beach games and castle walks are now a daily pleasure for all of us.
There are so many different things to do but our favourite is walking the coast, and the forests which are just a short drive from us. Our children love Alnwick Castle with the Harry Potter theme and have both loved the Grace Darling museum in Bamburgh when they have visited with their primary schools. The Farne Island boat trip was a huge hit with some visiting friends from Southampton as well as a day on a local beach, and a half hour journey further north to some Scottish beaches like St Abbs!
