The Simonburn bed & breakfast is located in Simonburn which is a peaceful “Olde Worlde” village situated two thirds of a mile off the B6320, halfway between Hexham and Bellingham, in the beautiful North Tyne Valley. We offer a range of rooms including double rooms, family rooms and twin rooms.
Whilst enjoying a day out or taking a short break in Northumberland, you will be captivated by the charming village of Simonburn and the surrounding countryside.
The delights of the Tearoom, Craft Shop and garden are matched only by the warm welcome and personal attention from Ann and her staff.
A stroll through the village brings you to St Mungo’s 13th Century Church, historically known as the Mother Church of the North Tyne Valley. You may even recognise some of the picturesque village green and surrounding houses that were used in the making of several of the Catherine Cookson films!
