About this property

Foundry House is a charming double-fronted cottage situated in Tweedmouth, within the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. This heart-warming luxury retreat is the perfect choice for a family seeking a traditional getaway to an area steeped with natural beauty and a vast array of attractions. Be greeted by the character as you step through the door and benefit from two separate sitting rooms, which enjoy a selection of traditional and contemporary furniture and decor, to relax and unwind, one housing an open fire whilst the other has its own multi fuel stove. You can choose to enjoy a sociable evening in one of the sitting rooms or use the other as a quiet space for catching up on some late night reading.

Walk through the exposed stone archway to the rear of the cottage which has an open-plan kitchen/diner, complete with range cooker and all the necessary appliances for cooking delicious meals. The ground floor is also home to a double bedroom with four poster bed and feature stone wall. It is serviced by a ground floor shower room. The character and charm continues on the first-floor with the master bedroom and en-suite, a further bedroom with twin beds which alternatively zip to form a super-king-size bed, together with the family bathroom. All rooms are beautifully presented to the highest standards. The luxury continues on the second floor with the stunningly beamed ceiling master suite which boasts a king-size bed, seating area with two leather arm chairs, feature en-suite and sauna.

The master suite has beautiful views of the harbour and Tweed estuary. To the rear of the property is a lawned garden with patio and decking area, perfect for sitting out in the evening sun and dining alfresco, or take a dip in the hot tub for that extra spot of luxury during your trip.

  • Linda

    Ideal for families sharing as each room had it's own assigned bathroom and lots of space to congregate or escape! Hot tub was a hit with the kids. Near to the beach and plenty to see and do in the area. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating. Looking forward to a return visit.

  • Renee

    The location was perfect, as we could walk to the town and enjoy the local restaurants and shops. We also had easy access to the beautiful beaches and sights of the region, such as Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. The cottage itself was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The highlight was the hot tub, which we used every day after exploring the area. The owners were very friendly and helpful, providing us with lots of information and tips about what to see and do. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a great base to discover Northumberland.

    Location was excellent you could easily reach everywhere, shops, restaurants, beach by foot. The house itself, from its fairytail garden to the smallest detail inside everything was catered for. The hosts where always available to provide assistance. Would most definitely recommend.
