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.

Gorgeous warm and welcoming house, quiet position but close to the A1 and the beach. Well equipped, spacious, comfy beds and 2 very secure gardens for the dogs. The front garden is a real sun trap.

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 . Comfortable seating area and wood burner - with a full weeks supply of logs in the shed - we used it every day , Great kitchen area with enough pots pans and cutlery etc , we appreciRead moreated the welcome pack of tea and coffee. 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

What a beautiful well presented home! Definitely big enough for a family or small group. We were just a couple and it was really too big, however our dogs had the choice of 2 enclosed garden areas and parking is right outside the door.

Had a 3 night stay (6 adults and 2 dogs), accommodation was very comfortable and the open plan living made it a very sociable occasion. The gardens were nice and secure, meaning dogs could be let out safely. Lovely quiet location within a short drive to lovely beaches. We would definitely recommend this to others and would happily return.

A lovely location, lots of space and equipment. Good outdoor space, back garden a little over grown. Family shower needs some TLC. Would stay again.

Beautiful property. It was a little bit disappointing that we couldnt walk the dogs to the beach as it was a bit too far. Everything else was perfect.

The reason l have only given a 4 score for equipment at property was because the shower door in the main bathroom was not safe because it kept coming off the runners. Also the integrated fridge didnt seem to close properly, our milk didnt stay fresh even though it was well within the date. Otherwise a lovely property.
