Pet-Friendly Accommodation

The Castle Hotel maintains a high ratio of pet-friendly rooms compared to similar hotels in the area. Guests with dogs can eat in a dedicated breakfast room rather than the bar, and the staff use pet bowls for water. Cyclists benefit from secure bike storage, a facility that supports the hotel's engagement with local cycling routes.

Dining Options

The on-site restaurant serves freshly made stone-baked pizzas, which can be ordered in the bar or lounge areas. Breakfast includes continental options with juice, fresh pastries, and fruits, with a cooked full English available for a £8.95 surcharge. The kitchen accommodates vegan and gluten-free diets, and the bar offers a selection of wines, champagne, and draft beers.

Family-Friendly Amenities

Superior Family Rooms measure enough to accommodate a family of four across separate beds for children. Kids' meals are available on the dinner menu, and the hotel supplies tea and coffee making facilities in all rooms. The shared lounge area contains board games and a TV for family downtime.

Entertainment and Business

The bar hosts live music performances and live sport events on a regular schedule. A separate games area includes a pool table and darts for guest use. The hotel provides a function room for meetings or private gatherings, supported by invoice processing and express check-in/check-out services.

Location and Accessibility

The hotel sits opposite Berwick-upon-Tweed train station, a two-minute walk from the platform to the front door. Spittal Beach is 2.2 km away, and the Maltings Theatre & Cinema is an 8-minute walk from the hotel. Lindisfarne Castle is 23 km north, while Bamburgh Castle is 32 km south via the A1 road.
