This inviting property offers space, light and comfort for a relaxing family holiday on the outskirts of Berwick-upon-Tweed (2.5 miles). The town is well connected for city trips to Edinburgh and Newcastle, both less than 1 hour on the train from the local station. It’s also situated at the northernmost point of the famed Northumberland Coast AONB, a heritage spot with a 62-mile coast path linking pristine beaches and exceptional cliff-top viewpoints. Whatever activities you choose to fill your days with, this stunning barn conversion always offers a warm welcome home for six guests and up to three dogs.

Unique features including exposed stone walls and an open-tread iron staircase add to the splendid character of this converted holiday home. Along with a utility room and downstairs WC, the ground floor is made up of a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner for sociable nights in. You’ll find an extremely well-equipped kitchen with a dining table on one side of the room and a cosy lounge with a wood burner and Smart TV on the other. There are also French doors leading from here into the sprawling wooded garden with a fully enclosed lawn and outdoor furniture. There’s also a south-facing patio garden with garden furniture, giving you a choice of outdoor spaces. Back indoors, head upstairs to reach three bedrooms, each as spacious as the last and the largest offering an additional Smart TV.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is a cultural hub with a rich medieval history, unique architecture and plenty of things to see and do. Art lovers will adore the Lowry Trail, a route encompassing Tweedmouth and Spittal (both 1.5 miles) offering sights that inspired the famous 20th-century artist. On this route, you’ll visit Spittal Beach (2 miles), a family-friendly sandy promenade for traditional seaside activities. Further beautiful beaches including Cocklawburn (3 miles), Cheswick Sands (4.5 miles) and Goswick (5 miles) are within reach along the famed coastline.

The property was lovely and spacious. The dogs did enjoy the enclosed gardens. The kitchen had plenty of appliances if you chose to eat in.

The Long Barn was just beautiful and spotless on our arrival. The welcome pack of biscuits, tea and coffee were a nice touch. It was spacious, and cosy at the same time. A perfect base for our stay. It was so private and quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was well equipped. Loads of storage, crockery and cutlery. In the bathrooms, Plenty of toilRead moreet rolls, hand soaps and towels provided. A washing machine, pegs and an outside line was brilliant. TV worked fine, radio was great as was Wi-Fi not that we needed it. Lovely seating in both front and back garden and a pets at home shop down the road for bird seed! Though be prepared, 4 of mealworms were gone in 30 minutes! Was wonderful to watch all the birds. I actually pottered about one morning before everyone got up in the early sunshine and dead headed the geraniums and watered them and refilled the birdbath then sat with a brew on the comfy chairs and enjoyed the tranquility! Berwick upon Tweed is not far in the car and you pass an M&S food and an Asda on the way! We ate at the Popping Chicken cafe which is near - great service and very dog friendly. The Sunday lunch was delicious. Fish and chips in the Hook Cafe in Seahouses were top notch and again dogs were welcomed in. Already planning a return stay and have recommended it to friends. Cocklawburnbeach is wonderful and clean. Car parking is on the road and was really busy when we went BUT the beach did not feel crowded and we had a wonderful time with the dogs there. Its our favourite parT of the UK to visit and Long Barn was one of the best places we stayed. 5 adults, a 4 month old baby and 2 springer spaniels give it 10/10 ! Hide

This is an excellent property enough room for 6 comfortably - though I noted a pull out under one if the twin beds so maybe a 3rd child in that room is possible too .

The beds were very comfortable we slept well . It benefits from 2 heating zones which meant we could keep upstairs cool for sleeping. Both front and rear gardens are private and fenced the bird feeders were well attended and we topped them up over the week . Easy parking for 2 vehicles was appreciated . The very new leisure centre in Berwick is under 5 minutes drive and with a main pool , kids pool , water slide/play zone and soft play is great for a family visit or you are just wanting to keep it - we used it most days . Exploring the walls and some quirky shops and various eateries was worthwhile . The walk to the pier end was excellent . In terms of the location the property is located between the main A1 and the East Coast main rail line so with windows open you can expect some back ground noise - with then shut we didnt notice it . We came back from the week fully refreshed . We will certainly be revisiting this property Hide
