We've been here twice and enjoyed it both times, and we would visit again. It's on the dock road, but this was never a problem to us, there are plenty of places to walk the dog from the front door and it's ten minutes to a great beach at Spittal to the South, or into Berwick to the North. Parking is on the road outside the house unless you have a small car, but never a problem. The house is clean and tidy, with everything you need. A small utility as you enter is perfect for boots, coats and dog cleaning. The kitchen/diner is great, and the living room ideal. Good bedrooms upstairs, and a large bathroom with powerful and roomy shower, with a free-standing rolltop bath. The rear yard is enclosed and private. Plenty of shops and places to visit within reach.

If I could give 10 stars for this listing, I would. Heron House is a gorgeous, cosy cottage with all the modcons you need. A lovely, well-stocked kitchen, heated towel rails in the bathroom & kitchen, & heating so that wherever you go you always feel warm. Immediately, from the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The heating was on & the table was set, & a welcome basket greeted us on the bench. Elizabeth was the perfect host - responsive & flexible & such a pleasure to deal with. This is the 4th property weve stayed in since beginning our UK trip, & its a definite highlight! I really didnt want to leave! I cant recommend Heron House highly enough. It is an absolute gem.

Heron house is a warm cosy extremely well equipped holiday cottage. Elizabeth provided loads of information before we arrived. Had to contact Elizabeth and Raymond while we were there and can't speak highly enough of their help
