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.

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.

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!
