Warm, friendly place in Bamburgh
Mark is a wonderful host. The room we stayed in had a lovely big tub and lots of very hot water. Breakfast lovingly prepared and delicious. Highly recommend for a sensible, comfortable stay very near to the center of the village and good eating options and pubs.

Very Disappointed and will not be back again
Really disappointed in the actual property/room on arrival. check-in was via a keysafe, no one else in the building and I took a chunk out of my thumb on the keysafe cover. The room was meant to be a Superior Room but it fell well-short of what I was expecting having read the reviews left by others. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired and a bracket that had presumably held a wall-mount for the TV was exposed and hanging off the wall, with a power supply cable from a retractable cable reel(safe??)poking through a makeshift drilled hole in a wardrobe unit servicing a very small TV standing on a set of drawers. There were no tumblers/glasses provided in the room or bathroom - Again not the 5star facilities we thought we were getting, I'm afraid.
Finally to breakfast - although the cooked plate of food Malcolm served us was ok and Malcolm himself was a very pleasant person, I would not rave about the breakfast as others seemed to, and in conclusion I would definitely not be recommending Hillcrest House to anyone else

Wonderful
The quintessential B&B experience. From the checking in process to breakfast in the morning it was made to feel like we were a guest in a home, not a business. We loved every minute of it.
Location is perfect for the Castle, beach and local businesses. Bed was very comfortable as was the downstairs living area. We didn’t want for anything. Street parking is a little hit or miss, but there isn’t anything our host can do about that, just be prepared for a little walk from your car to the front door depending on season and arrival time.
Thanks to Mark and his father, we will be back again for sure.

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!

We woke up to a power cut which probably lasted most of the day. Mark however has an AGA which gave us a little warm.water but more importantly he had cooked us breakfast which was delicious and we had teapots of welcome tea! Thank you Mark for your kind hospitality!

We were extremely happy with this accommodation. Our host Mark was excellent. So friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was delicious, cooked to order so hot unlike larger hotel buffet menus.
We will definitely recommend this accommodation to family and friends.
Will book this accommodation in future .

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
