Guest Reviews

• Kevin (10/5): Great little stay - Great stay and Tracey was a superb hostess. The property is brilliantly located for the town amenities and tourist attractions. Plus we were able to park in the adjacent street. And during our visit the room and street was lovely and quiet.
• Jason (8/5): - Great place to stay opposite the castle. Lots to explore in the local area and plenty of dining options. The rooms are on the top floor but we found the stairs to not be too steep. The room is a good size with a handy en-suite. Helpful host as well.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Little gem of a property, full of charm. Spotlessly clean, super comfy bed and excellent shower. Beautiful view of the castle. Stone entrance steps steep and lots of narrow stairs, however this is expected in older properties. An excellent stay, would highly recommend.
• Verified traveler (10/5): A charming room. - I liked the little additions such as plenty of premium teas and biscuits (even though I don’t drink tea or eat biscuits) and magazines for reading. The room had charm, plenty of space and storage and was decorated like a home.
• Michael (8/5): Great Central spot. - The room was fine, for such and old property without a straight wall or floors. Looking right across at the castle it was comfortable. Plenty of teas of different flavours and coffee on hand. Very welcoming hosts who let us use the parking permit through out our stay.
• Clive (10/5): - Nice and comfortable close to castle. Room at top of 2 flights of stairs so need to be fit.
• Sarah (8/5): - Tracey gets a 10/10, Daphne and Daisy also get 10/10. The room was beautiful, CLEAN and the hosting was top notch. Great breakfast, and i felt very safe here. Only negative for me was that i couldnt sleep one night and the bed was a little too firm for my liking but thats entirely my preference, cannot fault hosts or the beautiful b&b. Please note, there is a lot of stairs incase youd like to pack lightly! Would 100% stay again
• Elaine (10/5): - Absolute gem of a property literally a stones throw from Alnwick castle room was gorgeous all facilities you need walking distance to wonderful scenery plenty of places to eat host was fantastic really cannot praise Castleview enough
• Tim (10/5): Great two night stay - Lovely two night stay in Alnwick with lots of local parking and easy stroll into the town with good selection of bars and restaurants. Great location for exploring the magnificent Northumberland coastline. Room was really comfortable and host Tracey very friendly,
• Christina (8/5): - Very close to the castle and town centre but very quiet too. Lovely and welcoming, good breakfast. The shower didn't work very well.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely Host and Room - The host is very kind and brings a breakfast tray to order at an agreed time. The building is old and quirky with wonky floors, stairs etc, but decorated nicely and perfectly clean and functional. Good hot water pressure in the shower, even on the top floor. Parking was no problem while we were there, with the permit provided, but note the nearest parking bays are a short 2 minute walk away from the rooms, spaces are not specifically allocated and the public can park there (with restrictions). We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay there again on our next visit.
• David (8/5): Great location parking with permit nearby - This property is in a great location and the proprietor allows use of her parking permit so it is possible to park close to the premises.Our continental breakfast was delivered to our room at 9am each day and was lovely.The room was a bit tired but this didn't affect our experience.This accommodation might not suit people with limited mobility as it is accessed by a steep narrow staircase,the property is georgian, we were OK with it but could be an issue

• Dawn (10/5): - Tracey went out of her way to make my stay as comfy as possible. I stayed in the Duchess room and found it warm & cosy a fabulous view across the castle rooftops and a great ensuite . I had to come in during the early hours due to ghost hunting at Chillingham castle but this was not a problem also Tracey made me up a tray of breakfast bits & left them outside my door as i would miss breakfast completely downstairs so i could grab a few hours sleep! Great access to the beautiful town - i had a meal at the Dirty Bottles pub before ghost hunt which was a gorgeous steak. Access to the castle omg just a few yards to the entrance! Id stay here again in a flash. Thankyou Tracey and her adorable puppy Daisy xxx
• Thomas (10/5): - we spent two nights at Castle View b&b was excellent in every way , Tracey cooked us an excellent breakfast that set us up for the day ahead a great base for exploring the lovely Northumberland district added bonus a stones throw from the must go Alnwick castle and gardens .
• Verified traveler (10/5): - A wonderful stay with a superb host! Nothing was too much trouble for Tracey and Alnwick is a great place to visit.
• Joyce (10/5): An ideal stay. - We had a very enjoyable stay at Castleview B&B. We received a very friendly and helpful check-in. The room looked out directly onto the castle and the B&B was very close to the centre. Tracey prepared delicious breakfasts to order. The property was clean and comfy. Although not suitable for the disabled due to the stairs, we had a wonderful stay.
• John (10/5): Five nights and a castle - Excellent location just outside the heart of Alnwick, waking to views over the castle walls. The ancient building is a little quirky of course, yet comfortably arranged as a B&B with attractive decor. Tracey made us feel welcome and her new puppy wanted to get to know us too. The surrounding area, seaward and inland, is wonderful, and we found the castle and gardens fascinating.

• Andrew (8/5): - Very welcoming. Perfect location for exploring Alnwick. Lovely breakfast.
• Sean (10/5): A stay befitting of a king or queen - When the name says "Castleview", they mean it! Right across from the bedroom window is a stunning view of the grounds of the Alnwick Castle.

Tracey gave us a parking permit for our stay.
• Lisa (10/5): Deserves the excellent reviews - I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. It is literally opposite the castle, so getting about is a doddle. Parking is free on the street around the corner using the permit that the owner’s lend you. Tracey is an absolute star. She responded quickly to any queries I had and is so friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely and spotlessly clean. There are only 2 rooms which means it is extremely Covid safe. Breakfast was amazing. Highly recommended!

• Gary (10/5): We'll be back! - Ideal location, generous hospitality, lovely room, with some much attention to detail, and covid-compliant. Great base to explore Alnwick and the Northumbrian Coast
• Andrew (10/5): One word... Wonderful - Loved it. Guest house is situated smack bang opposite Alnwick Castle. The accommodation offers on street parking via permit, which was fine. Parked the car just round the corner from the guest house. No problems at all. The hotel is very clean and tidy. Tracey, the owner, is lovely. Very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is to be preordered the day before through a tick list. The accommodation breakfast area is nice and cosy, and displays artwork completed by Tracey, and also offers some lovely keepsakes to buy, such as cards, painted pebbles. Lovely gifts to take home as presents. We stayed 3 nights in a room on the second floor (top floor) which overlooked the Castle. Alnwick is a really nice location to use to explore Northumbria. Lots of coastal harbours and walks to explore. Definately go back to the guest house. Word to the wise - whilst we are under covid restrictions, all pubs and restaurants are table bookings only. Absolutley no chance of walk in's. So... ask Tracey for recommended places to eat and book a table well in advance for each night of your stay. It's the same if you want a drink in a pub. Must have booked a table in advance.
• Susan (10/5): - Lovely stay. Excellent location & facilities, friendly host.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - A lovely little B&B, Located close to the centre of Alnwick.

• Fionna (10/5): - Tracey was the most fantastic host! We were greeted with home made cookies and made to feel so welcome. The room was wonderful with views into the courtyard of Alnwick Castle. The breakfasts were delicious with lovely crockery. All in all a superb stay for my birthday/anniversary and would definitely like to return. Thank you Tracey xx
• vikki (10/5): Outstanding B&B, perfectly located - The B&B is ideally located in Alnwick and within walking distance to many shops, pubs and restaurants, plus the added bonus of a view of the castle (the gardens are also a very short walk away). The parking permit provided makes the parking arrangements stress free and is a great bonus to staying in Alnwick. The room was immaculately clean with every little extra you could hope for. The room and bathroom was spacious, warm and quiet with a very comfy bed. The breakfast was by far the best I've every had! There is a large selection of hot food made to order plus a full continental range with stand out quality throughout. This B&B is a true example of what a B&B should be.
