Castle View Guesthouse

Centrally located with beautiful views, the accommodation impresses with delightful breakfast and immaculate cleanliness. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, friendly staff, and efficient check-in process.

My daughter and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Castle View Guest House this past June, 2024. It's location is as close as you can get to the University and the Cathedral, shops, and dining. Room was very comfortable - breakfast was good with ample portions for my daughter and I. We only stayed one night as we were heading north to Northumberland for the bulk of our vacation but will return and stay longer. The only "nit" - not the fault of the proprietors - is parking - not unexpected due to the close proximity to the town center. As a yank driving - backing up to park in the tight and very infrequently available parking spaces across the street from the Guest House was challenging. It took me about an hour circling the block for an end of row spot to open that I could easily get my car into. A tip - at least what I did - was buy 24 hours parking from the conveniently located pay station rather than use the 3 hour pass provided by the guest house - 18 pounds - well worth it as no hassle or worries from the ever present parking enforcement officers.

The best location to visit the city - 5 minutes walk. The room was very good and the breakfast excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We travelled by train. We went by bus to Beamish using the local bus app. Crook Hall gardens, the Cathedral and the castle all worth visiting and in easg walking distance. We plan to visit again.
