Post Office House Bed and Breakfast

We stayed for a long weekend in January 2022, to celebrate my husbands birthday. We are returning customers and use this establishment whenever we are up in Northumberland for a holiday. All of the rooms are very tastefully decorated, with lovely beds and furnishings, good attention to detail with all of the little extras provided too. We normally book to stay in Coquet as we love the views from the window across the fields behind. They do amazing tasty breakfasts, generous portions and cooked fresh to order and care taken around the presentations of each dish, served hot when it arrives at your table. They offer a very varied menu choice as well, so there will be something to suit everyone. The owners, Claire & Simon are so knowledgeable regarding Belford, the surrounding areas and suggest excellent places to see and visit whilst you are there, including great places to eat in the evening. They are such a friendly couple who make you welcome from the moment you walk in the door and nothing is too much trouble for them. Belford is a small village, very quite and pretty, with local shops nearby and it is in a good location for driving to the nearby towns on Bamburgh, Alnwick, Holy Island (tide permitting), Berwick on Tweed, Craster, etc. but to name a few. I would definitely recommend this bed and breakfast if you are planning a visit to Northumberland as we will be going back soon. Thanks so much for making our stay an enjoyable and unforgettable one. We will be back to visit soon.

We recently spent a few days at the Post Office House and these are our thoughts. 1) Belford is an excellent base for exploring Northumberland. Most of where you will wish to visit is within a relatively short drive. 2) There are buses to Berwick and Alnwick from right outside the door to support a couple of car free days if you wish. 3) One guest can reserve off street car parking but there are no issues with on street parking and vehicles seem very safe. 4) Simon and Claire run a superb establishment and there are lots of special touches which make it stand out from the crowd. 5) Rooms are very comfortable and much thought has gone into their design and the fixtures and fittings are really nice. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept really well. 6) Breakfast was a delight and the quality of ingredients used really shines through. It is cooked to perfection by Simon and served with a wonderful smile by Claire. We particularly enjoyed our chats after breakfast and they made for a wonderful start to the day. 7) Simon and Claire are a font of all local knowledge and able to advise on places for your evening meals. We had some excellent recommendations and everywhere we ate was of a high standard. In this day and age, it must be difficult to operate a bed and breakfast and turn any sort of profit margin so if you are intending on visiting Northumberland, please give this establishment your serious consideration. You will not be disappointed with your choice and Simon and Claire are thoroughly deserving of your patronage. To quote a famous actor – ‘We’ll be back!’

We have just returned from a very relaxing 3n stay. Claire and Simon are wonderful hosts. Bedroom very comfortable,we greatly appreciated all the thoughtful touches we discovered. Enjoyed our hearty breakfasts,and the lovely selection we had to choose from.
