Fabulous guesthouse with the warmest of welcomes, we thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay. The room - Red Room - was well equipped and extremely comfortable. Little touches, such as the N'espresso machine, homemade flapjacks and cake on arrival, made all the difference. Breakfast was also superb. As for Belford, it has limited charms, but is ideally located to access some... More

Thanks again for the reviews both here and Booking.com. So glad you enjoyed your stay and that the way we run Market Cross and how we treat our guests shows as being important to us. You have highlighted Belford as not being the best of locations and to be fair it isn't a "hive of activity" by any ones estimation.... More

We've just spent a lovely night in the Red room of the Market Cross Guest House. We arrived at 6 to a warm welcome of homemade cake and coffee. The room was beautiful, comfortable and with lots of small touches for additional comfort and enjoyment, including a glass Lindisfarne port on the landing. The breakfast was both varied and delicious... More

A lovely review, thank you. We always hope that guests see us as we are and realise that this is just how we are. Amanda is always trying new things in the kitchen and the various cakes that come out of it are one of the things we love to offer as a welcome. More

New owners have maintained the excellent standards of this very pleasant guest house. The Red Room was first class in its facilities and comfort. Breakfast choice was very good,and the attention to details impressive. We didn't sample the evening meals which could have been ordered in advance from an extensive menu, but from the standard of the breakfast I imagine... More

This led to us gaining the dinner award and so far they have been very well received. when the new website is up and running everyone will be able to see the menus we offer and hopefully more guests will choose to have supper with...

We stayed in the 'Blue Room' at the Market Cross Guesthouse on the 15th/16th March wanting a 'get away from it all' mini break. Our room was absolutely immaculate, the bed extremely comfortable and if you love a bath then this is the room for you! We loved the little extras, home made flapjack, handmade soaps, even a glass of... More

I stayed at the Market Cross last night, with my 8 year old daughter. It's a great base if you want to visit Banborough Castle, Holy Island or the Farne Islands. We had a very warm welcome and were made to feel at home immediately. Once in the room (beautifully decorated with a view of sheep in the fields beyond)... More

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It's not in our nature to not be friendly and welcoming to our guests and we believe that's how it should be anyway. Since taking over at Market Cross we have made a point of making sure what we have in each room is of good quality and of use... More

Hi Derek and Sue, Thank you for this lovely review. We think it shows that we listen to our guests and provide the standard we would want from a guest house if we were staying here. Amanda works very hard at providing great food and as I tell everyone, if she can make it she doesn't buy it. That way... More

This was a lovely guesthouse, just 10 mins drive from the spectacular Northumberland coastline. My husband and I stayed two nights in the newly refurbished green room; espresso machine and home made shortbread biscuits and flapjacks, a view to the back garden. Steve and Amanda where very friendly and helpful hosts and we loved our breakfasts with more of Amanda's... More

Just returned from our honeymoon week at Market Cross. There aren't really words to describe the levels of friendliness, quality and service that we've experienced.
