Although itâs near the centre of town, it was quiet as itâs tucked away. The neighbours were very friendly. Parking could be a bit of a lottery, but it always worked out. We love visiting Berwick and return each year. The weather was cooler than we expected but never hampered us from carrying out our plans for the day. We enjoyed a visit to Holy Island, the first for many years, plus as always, walks in the Cheviots and around town. We hope to return next year. Many thanks for the use of the flat, we really enjoyed our stay.

60b Castlgate was fantastic for us. It was in a very good location a short walk to the main streets and the railway station, and a short drive to Morrisons and Tesco (a reasonable walk if you are younger than us;). You were within walking distance of lots off the places of interest in Berwick. And, if you did not wish to drive, there were buses and trains aplenty. Berwick has lots of nice and reasonably priced eateries. The flat was clean and quiet and comfortable and it had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Information re heating and cooking facilities was provided and useful. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would visit again. Thank you.
