About this property
This annexe is attached to the owner’s main house in the coastal town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, at the most northernly tip of Northumberland. Well-presented across two floors, this deceptively large annexe makes a great holiday base for families eager to uncover Northumberland. Upon arrival you are greeted with parking at the front but wander to the rear enclosed garden to the entrance. Dust off those cooking books and enjoy a home-cooking session in the kitchen, fitted with contemporary appliances and sleek units, before making yourself at home in the lounge, complete with dual aspect windows to offer a bright and airy feel. Completing the ground-floor is a delightful conservatory/dining room, along with a handy shower room where you can freshen up after a long day. Continue upstairs and find the 2 bedrooms, 1 double, 1 twin. There is also a bathroom with choice of bath and shower over. Step outside and enjoy al fresco dinning on the patio in the fully enclosed garden, then unwind and relax in the hot tub. Enjoying a central location in Berwick-upon-Tweed, you're sure to find a wealth of local amenities right on your doorstep; fuel the days excursions with a hearty breakfast at Deyn's Deli Cafe, indulge in a well-deserved bite to eat and a crisp pint of ale at The Barrels, or savour fresh fish and chips from the comfort of your holiday home. Remember your seaside belongings as there are four glorious beaches to choose from, offering peaceful afternoons, glorious scenery and watersport opportunities. The town is packed with history and heritage, most of which can be uncovered at Berwick Castle, overlooking the North Sea and Berwick Museum and Art Gallery. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and choose The Annexe for your next retreat to Northumberland.
Berwick-upon-Tweed is a coastal town positioned at the most northerly tip of Northumberland, offering four sandy beaches, riverside walks and abundant cycling trails for visitors to enjoy. Stroll the circular walk atop the town's Elizabethan walls, and capture the spectacular views across the River Tweed estuary and Berwick's three bridges, including the famous Royal Border Bridge. Brush up on your history by visiting the local museums, enjoy sun-filled days at the beach and be inspired by the exhibitions in the town's superb galleries. The nearby town of Duns offers an award-winning butchers and a quality delicatessen, as well as pubs and restaurants, whilst the Jim Clark Museum and the Jim Clark Rally draw racing enthusiasts from all over the world. Duns Castle is well worth a visit, a romantic castle in a beautiful, natural setting, with well-marked woodland and lakeside walks through the estate.

It is very well equipped and very clean and comfortable. The welcome pack provided by the owner was a unexpected bonus Could of really done with the outside light to be working in back garden and lighting down the side of property this would have scored a 10 out of 10. However due to the lighting issue we had to buy a torch so we could see.our dog in the dark. Also unable to use the hot tub due to poor lighting. Overall this would not deter us from booking to stay again or recommending accommodation to friends and family.

Warm and cosy. Close to the beach where you can walk your dogs. Beautiful views from the cliffs next to the golf course, there is a path leading to another sandy beach. There is everything you need here and the jacuzzi bath was a great addition. We spent some fantastic days here. Thank you to the hosts for the welcome pack âºï¸ we are already planning to come back in the spring
