Introduction
Overlooking the main village green and with views up towards the Castle, The Lord Crewe is a popular and attractively appointed pub, restaurant and hotel with a long trading history.
The 7 en-suite letting bedrooms are all nicely appointed and this is an establishment with very strong levels of repeat business from day trippers and holidaymakers alike.
Location
Bamburgh sits imposingly on the North Northumberland coast just off the A1 which is the main route between North East England, Edinburgh and Scotland. This location makes Bamburgh easily accessible and an excellent base to explore this dramatic coastline but also to travel further afield to the Cheviots and Scottish Borders. Newcastle upon Tyne is only an hour or so away by road and therefore Bamburgh has always been a popular destination for the local north eastern residents.
However, the town is seeing more and more visitors from outside the region and the Lord Crewe enjoys its fair share of this trade being within the heart of the village and with little competition.
