Market Cross Guest House | Welcome

Welcome

At Market Cross Guest House, Jill and John Hodge offer you luxury accommodation, award winning hospitality and fabulous food. 

Where

Situated in the centre of Belford village (see here), Market Cross is an ideal base for exploring many of the outstanding attractions that the area has to offer.

We are close to the beautiful coastline, the unspoilt Cheviot Hills and the numerous castles and monuments of this historic county.

Among the attractions are Lindisfarne (Holy Island), Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle (location for the Harry Potter films), the Alnwick Garden, Cragside and many more - for details see here.

When

When the Great North Road ran through Belford, this sturdy and attractive 200 year-old house played a vital part in the stopping off schedule for the London to Edinburgh stage-coaches (together with the adjoining Black Swan coaching inn).

These days, with the village long since bypassed, Market Cross is still an ideal resting-place for the discerning traveller.

Why

We provide the most comfortable of accommodation and, on fine mornings, you may be fortunate enough to sample one of Jill's famous Northumbrian breakfasts, out in the open air, in the old enclosed courtyard.

Please take a look around the rest of the site, and if there is anything you are not sure of, please contact us.

Reviews We have numerous commendations and awards for our friendly welcome, standards of comfort and the quality of food. Some of these can be seen on TripAdvisor (right). In the 2008-2009 season we (Jill and John) were runners-up (from over 4,000 B&Bs) in the national AA Friendliest Landlady of the Year award. We hope you will come and see why.
