Bywell Hotellit

”Just fantastic! Do note that though it is a true castle, not all the rooms are in the castle, so do check if you are staying in the castle or what is the rooms called Castle View. I believe they were a long time ago the servant quarters, BUT don't let this dissuade from staying here. IT IS A CASTLE! The staff was extremely polite and funny. There are peacocks you can hand feed snacks, but check with the staff what the peacocks will eat. The restaurant is fantastic, but be aware the menu is...

”Great spot and a beautiful dat at the castle. Comfortable bed. Nice facilities. Dinner was basic English fare but very tasty. Breakfast was extensive”

”Rooms were spotless Spot on”

”Basic hotel, but clean room and comfortable bed. Staff really friendly and helpful. Stay included breakfast, but limited really to takeaway style bags in which to take your choices to your room, or sit at small tables in reception. Would probably give it a miss if staying again. Location is in the middle of large industrial estate, so whilst its cheap, and ok just to put your head down for a night or two, it is limited in what it can offer to tourists.”

”We would certainly go back staff very friendly the room was roomy everything you need.Resturant good suroundings were beautiful quiet as well. Best holiday yet .”

”Lovely location with a rather impressive view. Staff were most welcoming and polite. Room was very comfortable and the food was excellent. Would recommend.”

”Pub was dated, and our room had a shower/toilet in a pod, so read the small print when booking. The pod was extremely small with little room to manoeuvre and the extractor fan did not work. Also music could be heard in our room from downstairs. The positive is the shower was warm, the staff extremely friendly and the breakfast good. Also the local clientele were warm, friendly and welcoming”

”Very pleasant stay, would definitely recommend”

”We asked for the bedsheets to be changed but they did not. Also breakfast was not nice.”

”Excellent hosts,very good value for money,nice location,good is really good,highly recommended”

”Mucha limpieza en la habitación. El desayuno bueno. Muy atentas las personas de recepción y servicio. La habitación muy pequeña. Se escuchan muchos ruidos de otras habitaciones . El hotel está retirado de Durham y de Newcastle, sin embargo es una opción de mejor precio con respecto a los hoteles de Durham.”

”Great hotel, friendly staff, good eating options and a fantastic location on the river. This will be my go to when I visit Durham from now on.”

”Really good stay for 1 night before an early flight. Nice meal in restaurant”

”Good place to stay - Rangos was good food at a good priced.”

”FABOULOUS ALL AROUND... FROM THE MINUTE WE GOT THERE TO THE MINUTE WE LEFT... SUPER FRIENDLY, EFFICIENT, HELPFUL STAFF, LOCATION GREAT, ROOMS REALLY GOOD, MODERN, CLEAN, JUST PERFECT”

”One of the best hotels in Newcastle city very clean and nice atmosphere, rooms are quite and clean, good amenities and excellent staff. Best in the price”

”This is a little gem of an inn. The drive along the way is picturesque and Otterburn itself is darling. Our host for the Old Post Office was very accommodating. We arrived after the normal check-in time and she was very welcoming. Our room was immaculate and our shower had lots of hot water. Breakfast was excellent, including our coffees (flat white and vanilla latte). We also enjoyed the back patio area with plenty of seating. Definitely recommend this inn!”
