Had a fantastic stay! Mark was super helpful and accommodating. Couldn’t be closer to the local restaurants, bars and of course the castle. Everything was spot on. Also the breakfast was tailored to how you want it and was delightful. Would definitely stay again and recommend anyone else to stay here.
We had a super stay at Hillcrest; Mark & his father were very welcoming and supportive and the breakfasts were fab! Our room was really clean and comfortable and the en-suite was exceptional; we wish we could have transferred it to our own home. If we are ever in this part of the world again, there is absolutely no doubt where we would stay - at HILLCREST! Thank you Mark and Malcolm, you made our stay very happy and comfortable- we’ll be back! Best wishes, R & D

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 !!
Wonderful accommodation with a first class host who was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely return.
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.
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.
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!
Although the property is a bit outdated that’s what makes it so charming.
Mark is the perfect host and can’t do enough for you .
A very enjoyable 3 night stay .
