Well the digs were very fine too, but if you want the real reson to stay request 2 X poached eggs. Fresh, free range, enormous yolks and fabulous. Dorothy's confirms her eggs not sourced from family or friends but nearby farm as they are superior.

If you want to stay in a super B&B with the friendliest of welcomes, this is a place for you. Not only will you be close to Alnwick, but you will also be able to experience Alnmouth with its fantastic beach. A great place for walkers and golfers. Do not miss this gem.

We must have stayed at Bilton Barns six or seven times and the place still leaves us wanting to return for more!

Bilton Barns is far enough from any roads or town for perfect peace and quietness, and yet so well placed for prolonged exploration of such a beautiful coast line.
