Heron House is set in a beautiful location within easy walking distance of Berwick upon Tweed town centre. The house was very clean and contained everything you could possibly need. There was also a lovely welcome pack which contained several useful and thoughtful items.The owner Elizabeth was very friendly and helpful and gave us a long list of places to eat etcI would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it as a place to stay.

Lovely house and views, good location to explore the area, but Berwick hasn't got much to get excited about.The cottage has some lovely features, and looks to be looked after well.Personally I think some of the furniture is a little uncomfortable and tired, but it's fine as a base to explore.
