Where to Stay in Northumberland

There are some excellent places to stay across Northumberland depending on your priorities and preferences for your last minute getaway.

Many people choose to head to the northern coast of Northumberland to enjoy Alnwick. The town is famous for its castle and gardens, along with its old-fashioned cafes and renowned bookshop.

But because Alnwick is so popular, it can be cheaper to choose a hotel in nearby Bamburgh or Alnmouth instead, and still enjoy easy access to the town. Bamburgh’s castle, sat atop a hill overlooking the coast, is just as impressive as Alnwick’s.

Further west in the county, you’re among the beautiful Northumberland National Park. Stargazers love to flock here because the remote location offers some of the UK’s darkest skies, and a hotel close by could be the ideal solution if you want to enjoy hikes during the day too.

Towards the southeast of Northumberland, there are many hotels around Ashington, Morpeth and Cramlington that are just a short distance from Newcastle and the Tyne & Wear coastal towns of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth.

Or further west, Hexham is a delightful town with a historic abbey, serving as a great base for walking along Hadrian’s Wall.

Insider Tips for Northumberland

• Try a wildlife boat tour from Seahouses to see the puffins and other birds that call the small offshore islands home. Try to book a twilight cruise to enjoy amazing sunset views of Bamburgh Castle as you sail.
• Alnwick Castle and Gardens is well worth a visit, though it’s worth looking for any deals on tickets in advance as it’s not a cheap attraction. The Treehouse Restaurant onsite is charming and serves an excellent Sunday roast.
• The Northumberland National Park is a fantastic destination for hiking, and you can enjoy a well-earned rest and drink in the charming village of Rothbury at the end of your walk.

If you base yourself near Alnmouth, Morpeth, or Cramlington, there’s a trainline offering regular trains into Newcastle so you can enjoy all the city sights and bars without having to drive.
