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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

We absolutely loved our stay at Hillcrest House! It is a very homely place in a gorgeous location, quiet despite being in town, with a very large bedroom & bathroom.
Mark was so friendly and lovely to deal with, and the breakfast he cooked for us was delicious! It was such a treat to stay there, and great value for money.
