Easy to find. Good clear instructions and communication from the owner. Very well equipped, very clean, very comfortable and love the family history behind the property. The welcome basket and card were also a very nice thoughtful touch. A good base for our holiday for the week. Absolutely would stay here again

It has been beautifully renovated and furnished by the owner. The living room is very comfortable and has a lovely outlook on to the pristine patio and lawn. The kitchen is very well equipped for those who want to cook their own meals. The beds are very comfortable and the shower in the en-suite is excellent. The cottage is in a very quiet rural setting yet is only 2 miles from Berwick. We had a great week in the cottage both sightseeing and walking various sections of the England Coastal Path. We'll be back.
