  The Old Farmhouse was a brilliant place to stay.

  It was much bigger than we had expected, beautifully presented and had everything you could want for an enjoyable stay. It is ideally situated to explore places like Holly Island and all the coast line down to Craster. We used it mainly as a base for some walking in the Cheviots. There are fantastic views over these from the 2 front bedrooms. The house is very well set up for families with both front and back gardens enclosed to stop little ones making the great escape. Cots and high chairs were available. There were only 4 of us so we rattled around in the space. 6 adults wouldn't feel squashed. The location is very quiet even though there is a road running in front of the house. This appears to have about 2 cars a day using it and although on a working farm you wouldn't know it. Lowick is just down the road and has a good locals pub as well as a decent Pub/Restaurant ( The Black Bull) Ford & Etal estate is close by and definitely worth a visit. There also some beautiful walks around the estate. One very, very small niggle was the ensuite was a tad cosy but it was perfectly usable. The owner, Mrs Reavely is delightful and only lives at the other end of the farm. She kindly left lots of fresh flowers, wine and a very large box of sweets! If you are thinking of visiting this part of the country I would highly recommend the Old Farmhouse as an ideal base

  Had a wonderful stay, we were 4 adults and 2 well behaved dogs.

  We were also lucky with the weather, eating out on the patio most days. The views are amazing, the house is beautiful. Just a 10 minute drive into Berwick town and not much further if going to the beach. The house has all of the amenities you could wish for, washer, dryer, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher etc.. also tv although the channels took some finding sometimes but we got there in the end. There was a lovely gift basket on our arrival which included a bottle of sparkly and biscuits amongst other items. There are leaflets and brochures in the house with maps showing all places to visit nearby. The heating came on in the mornings for a short time which allowed warm towels in the bathroom and also despite the number of showers each morning, the water was always nice and hot. We did contact the owners on arrival as there was no water in the property, but this was down to Northumbrian Water and not through any fault of the owners. However, Jess could not do enough, and within a short time the waterboard was at the house and they fixed the issue (which apparently was somewhere down the road due to work which has been done earlier in the week). Jess, however, messaged several times to make sure it was fixed and check we were okay. One thing I will never forget are the amazing views, such a wonderful property. Thank you for helping make wonderful memories. xx

  Our stay at The Lazy Seal was great!

  The property was easy to find and easy to access when we arrived. Travelling in 2 cars I was concerned that having no private parking would have been a problem but there was always plenty of parking on the street at all times of day. When we arrived the property was spotlessly clean and included lots of lovely welcoming touches including Halloween sweets for the kids, chocolate bees in the kids room and a chocolate treat in the other bedrooms. As others have mentioned the welcome pack including bread, milk, cereals and Noah’s eggs was much appreciated. The Wi-Fi was easy to access and very reliable, much appreciated with 2 kids with iPads! Some key items that were available at the property but not included on the property listing were nespresso coffee machine, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap were also provided in the bathroom. There was also a nice collection of toys and books for the children. The location was good with the beach in easy walking distance and the local shop just down the road. We didn’t need to have much contact with the owners but any time we did Tracey was lovely. Would definitely recommend a stay here and we would definitely go back.

  Fantastic location — next to the Whiteadder river looking out over sloping fields with lots of birds and other wildlife (and surprisingly entertaining sheep) with public footpaths from the doorstep.

  Yet Berwick-upon-Tweed is just a short drive away — a small mediaeval town with lots of character, yet easy to access by car — with free parking! There are lots of places of interest nearby or within an easy drive — we especially enjoyed a boat trip to see seals, Puffins and other sea birds at Farne Islands. The house is spacious and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen — plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and crockery. We liked the design of the relatively recent renovation, the main access is via a boot room, which makes it easy to keep the rest of the house tidy. There are large windows along the length of the house — ideal for watching the wildlife. All bedrooms and bathrooms are accessed from a long corridor which provides flexibility to accommodate different groups. The house is well insulated with an efficient central heating system which we found had been set to maintain a comfortable temperature. It’s a unique, quality, property in a beautiful location and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable rural break in this under-appreciated part of the world.

  Stayed here as a family with a toddler and small dog.

  Apartment is ground floor which made it easier with my toddler and the pram and was so spacious! Highchair and travel cot was provided too we just needed to bring our own mattress for the travel cot and bed linen for it. There was also plastic plates and bowls too and a box of toys so thoughtful which made our stay so much easier. Apartment came with a welcome pack with eggs, bread, milk and chocolate biscuits. There was other additional bonuses too laundry pods, tea/coffee/sugar sachets. Rooms were super comfortable and towels provided. Smart TV in main bedroom and livingroom so you can log into netflix/watch youtube. Log fire and starter pack for the log fire. Location was great the playground and splash park and small arcade was just round the corner right next to the beach. Beach was also dog friendly. 25 minute walk to Berwick where we got the train to Edinburgh. Rooms do get light so the only thing i would add is curtains to make it blackout on top of the blinds and also a mop for any spillages
