Special place to stay
Stayed with friends over from USA. We all loved the place, it had the WOW factor we were looking for. Beautiful interior, views and the welcome pack starter was much appreciated (as was the thoughtful store cupboard). Lovely and warm when we arrived and we had great fun in the evenings playing snooker. Would book to stay here again.

Back to Northumberland
The building is unique and was a great adventure for the family staying in our own mini castle - but comfortable and homely. Comfy beds quiet location so all slept like logs. Instructions for the oven and hob would have been helpful. Great base for a relaxing getaway within easy reach of Lindisfarne, Bamburgh and Alnwick castles and Northumberlands beaches and wild open spaces

An enjoyable stay in the Pele Tower
The Pele Tower was a great place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It is well situated to explore Northumberland. Our host (Ben) managed our messages/enquiries promptly and efficiently. The tower is well provisioned, we stayed in March and so enjoyed the use of the fire. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the showers/bath were effective. The only suggestions we have for development are that we found the lounge furniture to be not very comfortable and so it may be beneficial to consider an update, and the main door lock can be very temperamental. Other than that, we thought the tower was smashing and would consider staying again.

Unique property
The castle was a joy, as was the location. We all thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Ben was very helpful when needed. The area is stunning, ideal for walks, learning the local history etc. A car is needed to get anywhere there aren't any amenities in walking distance. The cleaning could be improved, clumps of dust under furniture, etc it needs more attention. We would stay again.

Lovely stay at the tower.
Great property, lovely location - makes an excellent base for exploring the towns and coastline. Layout of the accommodation worked brilliantly for us (family of 5 adults and one dog)....plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Has a great sized kitchen, lounge and games room for whole family gatherings in the evening. Excellent communication with the host....lovely welcome pack on arrival which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Fabulous stay in own castle
A wonderful few days in my own castle. Luxurious and very well equipped kitchen with a welcome pack. Bathrooms are fantastic. The garden and grounds were enjoyed by adults, 2 granchildren and 2 dogs. The furniture and decor were very much in keeping with being in a castle. the cleaning, bedding and towels was excellent. Lots of family places to visit nearby, highly recommend.

superbly unique castle home
fantastic accommodation with a truly medieval feel, at the same time enjoying the modern conveniences of central heating, comfy beds, modern kitchen appliances. the grounds are stunning, and the short walk down the path into the village is perfectly lovely. the town of alnwick just 15 min away has much to offer, including walks, charming pubs & shops, and the saturday market in the square. we would love to return for another stay in the future.
