Castleview Bed & Breakfast

This is a very good quality b&b and one of the best I have stayed in Northumberland. The was 8 of us with 4 rooms we had the suite as it was my wife's 70th birthday. The accommodation was well appointed and attention to detail with good quality furnishings and each room had a kitchenette. Our terms were room only with breakfast at £10/person optional. We had the breakfasts which were again good quality and excellent value. The b&b was in a central location in morpeth but was quiet. We were advised about parking prior to us leaving home but Carmen the host gave us good advice and was parking not a problem. This is a well run establishment at a reasonable price and the host Carmen was charming ,helpful and good fun to talk to. Good experience!

I can't recommend Castleview B&B highly enough: I stayed there in October 2022 whilst on business in Alnwick for a week, and was very impressed with, well, everything. Tracey is a fabulous host, and made me feel very at home from the outset. The rooms (of which I believe there are only two) are immaculate, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The bathroom in the 'Elizabeth' room is spacious and the modern power shower excellent. The whole house, which seems to be 17th/18th century, is furnished with splendid period furniture and there is plenty of drawer space - plus a handy dresser which was perfect for working using my laptop. Breakfast was served in the room every morning, with a tray overflowing with toast, cereal, yoghurt, fruit and fresh coffee - don't let the word 'continental' fool you, there is plenty there. There is also tea/coffee making equipment in the room. Linens are top notch, and the bed is very comfy. Towels provided (even flannels) as well as basic toiletries like shower gel. I went well prepared for my week, but I have absolutely no doubt if I'd have needed anything, it would have been provided. I can find no real fault in this fine establishment! It is perfect for anyone wishing to stay within a literal stone's-throw of the magnificent Alnwick Castle, and the multitude of decent pubs and eateries of this cracking little town. One thing I would add is that the B&B, as an historical building, is not really geared up for those with disabilities: steep exterior steps, uneven staircases/floors, and heavy doors would not suit someone with mobility issues: With a venerable building of this age, I have no doubt it is Listed (protected by heritage legislation), and to install such accommodations would be impossible. If you're a visitor from outside the UK, maybe visiting the town for the Harry Potter / Hogwarts connection, then you will love this little slice of both history and hospitality.

Another lovely week here. Nothing is too much trouble for Tracey. The choice for breakfast is huge. My favourite was the cheesy scrambled egg with salmon. Rooms are lovely and comfortable and as the name suggests a great view over the Castle. Close to Alnwick centre and all amenities. A big thank you Tracey. We will be back.
