A new hotel slated for the ocean-front Northumberland village of Seahouses is to lead to the creation of 40 new jobs, media reports suggest.

The Bamburgh Castle Hotel is to undergo a £1.5 million makeover now that it has come under the ownership of Lindisfarne Inns. It will be re-branded the Bamburgh Castle Inn.

All of the hotel's existing 20 rooms will be redesigned, while new construction will centre on a pavilion-style dining area overlooking the harbour as well as some ten brand new rooms.

The transformation is set to lead to the creation of some 40 new jobs, with vacancies for hotel managers, maintenance, domestic and hospitality staff expected to be listed in the coming months.

Commenting on the project, Lindisfarne Inns director Keith Liddell said: "We believe there is a growing requirement for accommodation which is high-quality yet functional in a location hot-spot such as this."

Building work will be carried out in two separate stages, with plans to have all refurbishment completed by mid-summer in time for the peak tourism season.
