Waterfront Reviews

Janine
Excellent location, value for money, perfect for a get together with friends. Probably not suitable for small children due to stairs. Although superficially clean, could definitely do with a deep clean.
Faith
Fabulous location and place to stay for exploring Berwick. The house is comfortable and well equipped and having the upstairs balcony is amazing, watching the tide going in and out and so much bird life. There are many exciting walks right from the door, including along the pier, accessing the coastal path and the walk around the walls, and easy access to the town with great coffee and food options in a short walking distance. I'd highly recommend this as a place to stay in Berwick and would like to return one day.
Liz
A really comfortable and well equipped apartment. The views are stunning. Excellent location with lovely walks around the old walls and down the pier.
Sharon
Ideal location, great views, listening to and watching the birds was amazing - especially first thing in the morning. House is very spacious and has everything you need. Parking space very tight to get into. Lots of walks close by. Great Indian in Berwick 5 minutes walk away, food was amazing!! Train station 20 minutes walk away but great for a trip to Edinburgh as only 40 minutes away. Good base to get to Holy Island and Bamburgh or a boat trip from Seahouses to the Farne Islands. But could just as easily stayed in the house and watched the world go by.
Jane
Fabulous location, balcony in a welcome suntrap. Great views
Willie
We absolutely loved it. The 3rd flight of stairs was a challenge for mum but was worth it for the balcony, the fabulous view and watching the bird life
Vicky
Waterfront is an extremely comfortable house to stay in, with a stunning view of the River Tweed. The beds were all very comfortable and having a bathroom each was a real luxury. The kitchen is well-appointed and the living room is a lovely place to lose hours staring at the view. Berwick On Tweed is a friendly town with some interesting shops and friendly places to eat. It is only a 50 minute train ride to Edinburgh, which is a fun way to spend the day.
Frances
We had a lovely time in your holiday home in Berwick upon Tweed. It has a fantastic view on the estuary and we were very lucky with the weather. It is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable.
Katrina
Fabulous location, and the views from the lounge and bedrooms are wonderful. We loved watching the birds following the tide to feed. Cracking spot to catch the sunrise, too.
Marion
Lovely, well equipped home in fabulous position with wonderful views. It is lovely to sit and watch the birds and changing tides in comfort from the living room. We could see both spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the windows. Easy walk into town and good walks around the walls and to the pier.
Gordon
Lovely house Really comfortable beds Fantastic location
Alison
The location was excellent- peaceful, with a beautiful view out to sea and yet so close to the centre of Berwick. Everything was within walking distance. The parking spot was quite tight. I have a VW Golf and wouldn't have liked to have parked anything bigger.
Helen
Well situated with amazing views and close to town and the city walls. Well equipped. Parking is tight and would be difficult with more than one car but once parked up there really isn't the need for a car to get around.
Michael
Absolutely amazing place to stay when visiting Berwick Upon Tweed.
