A Grade II-listed property laid out in a reverse-level configuration, this fabulous accommodation choice is certain to impress from the moment you arrive. It’s utterly light and spacious with high ceilings, large windows and fresh decor, offering a group of six friends or family an abundance of space to unwind together after days exploring Berwick-upon-Tweed or the wider Northumberland coast.

One of the best locations weve stayed in, overlooking the estuary was just amazing and the only balcony in the row was such a bonus. The property was superb and ideal for the three of us. Had a fantastic time and even saw an avocet that settled outside for a few hours. Loved our stay.

My daughter wrote this as she hates reviews which dont give advice. Overall we had a lovely stay here. I can't leave a review as you booked but, in case you want to add my tuppence worth... A beautiful house in a beautiful setting... Parking is very tight, the space is right next to the house and you need to manoeuvre on a narrow road whicRead moreh is only separated from the sea by a few bollards so you need to be a confident driver/reverse parker. We managed but can imagine plenty wouldn't. Further along, the road widens, and it's much easier to park. If you're really nervous, drive right to the end of the road and there are 4 spaces which are more like a traditional carpark type set up (so no parallel or reverse parking needed). It's not far but I'd recommend unloading the car at the house first. The house was incredibly clean, I haven't come across many holiday homes as clean as this was, credit to the cleaners. It was also nice to be left a generous welcome basket, cake, some chocolate eggs (it was Easter), some crisps, a bottle of prosecco and some milk! The views are absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, the view from the living room is somewhat marred/ruined by one of the sliding doors having fogged up inside the glass so you cannot properly appreciate it with the doors closed, otherwise though it was just beautiful. Like many holiday homes, the practicalities haven't really been considered. There are a lack of places to put your clothes when you take them off, hooks etc. nowhere in the bathrooms to hang your towels - although, it must be said that at least the towels provided are of a generous size and can be wrapped properly around your body! - lots of little things that aren't annoying enough to ruin a holiday but it would be so much better if they were there! The cupboards that house the crockery and the glassware in the kitchen are incredibly annoying. They are electric so you have to press a button to open and close them but they are dying a death and often don't work first time you press, nor do they open fully. The living room would benefit from some lamps and some comfier seating. Luckily, we were not 6 adults but, if we were, we would not all have fitted on the sofa which, while larger than some, really can only seat 2 people comfortably as, without putting your feet up, it's very uncomfortable to sit on! The only other seats in the room are a weird spinning chair which is awful and a wicker chair which has seen better days and is also not very comfortable. A highchair and travel cot are provided but the highchair is useless if your child is not able to sit properly/stay seated as the straps are broken and it's very old style. The travel cot seems fine though we only used the mattress to try and save our backs. The beds are comfy although, being zip and link, there is a weird gap/dip in the middle and the fitted sheets weren't quite big enough resulting in them popping off at the edges every night. All of the showers have their issues, the downstairs one leaks, (maintenance came in to inspect so hopefully its fixed now). one is zip tied to its holder as otherwise would fall out and the other one has a drippy shower-head so you get random drops while using it. Also, nowhere to put your shower gels/shampoos in the two on the first floor (the ground floor is over a bathtub so has edges for that). The bath is lovely and huge and has a jacuzzi feature which is nice. The washing machine was very efficient, unfortunately only a small, partly broken, clothes horse is available though. The house was lovely and warm throughout, we often had to turn down the thermostat! For those with young children a stairgate would be advisable, although please note the stairs are very wide, luckily our stairgate is a wide one but we could have done with more than one. The trek from the entrance to the top of the house is not for the faint hearted, make sure you use the toilet before you ascend. The kitchen is fairly well catered for but, like all holiday homes, the sharp knives are all blunt as anything so bring a knife sharpener or your own sharp knives. The wooden floors through all the living spaces are lovely but we did encounter a number of nails that had lost their heads poking up through. We were lucky that an accident didn't happen as none of us wear shoes in the house and our 18 month old is all over the floor, we covered them as best we could with furniture and then the handyman came a few days in to take care of the ones we'd found but I'm sure there will be others so watch out! Hopefully it will be sorted following our feedback but the WiFi code in the book is wrong, the router is in the utility room so see that for the right password! Also, a lot of the information in the book seemed outdated and an entire section was for another property entirely. All in all we had a lovely stay but I would recommend the owners stay for a while themselves to identify all the wee things that need righting as it would just make for a much more pleasant stay if these things were taken care of. Hope this is helpful and doesnt deter you from booking. Location is glorious. Hide
