We went in 2016, stayed at the Otterburn Castle Hotel. Flippin' gorgeous countryside, deserted roads, friendly people. We visited Seahouses, Alnwick, Craster, and a few other places, including a run up the A68 to the Glenkinchie distillery.
You'll love it.

Its a beautiful area for touring. I stayed in Seahouses on my Coastal trip via Booking.com.
Bamburgh also looks good. I always check potential venues on Google Maps and Steetview before booking, looking for a safe parking place and ease of access.

We stayed in the Cook & Barker Inn just south of Alnwick. Rooms and food were very good. The only gripe was that there was nowhere to sit to have a pre or post dinner drink apart from at our reserved dining table.

There's a beautiful coastal village called "Newton by the Sea"
with fantastic beach walks to Dunstanbugh Castle, Craster to the South and Beadnell to the North , with Alnwick about 20 minutes drive to the West,
It's a really good place to stay but accommodation is hard to get.

Never away what do you want to know and I will write it all down .
What are you looking for churches, history, castles, villages, battle grounds, caves. When are you coming and how long do you intend to stay. Send me your e-mail address or phone no telling me how long you intend to stay along with your kind of favorite stuff and I will try and send a bit of everything . June and I play up their at w/ends. Bamburgh is just over 75 mins from our house .

YES due to a bloody big caravan , but don't worry his eyesight is not as good as it used to be these days . So stick a JTL sign on you car and he will think you are someone else .

Lovely area and natural Morgan territory. We once stayed in a lovely B&B I coudn’t recommend highly enough in Warkworh called Roxbro House. Also, make sure you head out into the Cheviot Hills while you’re there.
