Castleside Reviews

Siân
Everything in the cottage was top notch. Clean, comfortable and homely. The location was superb. Right in the centre of the town and a fantastic view. Lovely beach walks. Great pubs and local shops. And lots to do in the towns around Bamburgh.

Phillip

Fiona
Second time back staying at Castleside, love it. Very comfortable, beautifully presented, perfect location and secure parking.
Sheenagh
Being in the heart of Bamburgh was great but unfortunately having previously been part of the Lord Crewe Hotel the accommodation was attached to the hotel and very near the kitchen area which meant the kitchen fans were quite audible in the upstairs bedroom from around 07:30am until late evening. The noise was constant and not desirable. There was also outside lighting at the back of the hotel which was illuminated all night and quite bright. If these could be addressed we would recommend the property.
Steve
Lovely cottage with great view , comfortable and clean.
Alan
Castleside and location made our 40th Wedding Anniversary a time to remember looking out of the bedroom window and lounge window at the castle each day was magical. Thank you Malcolm and Sharon for making our week one we will never forget. Alan & Angela Hunter
