Berwick is England’s most northerly town and changed hands 13 times whilst the English and the Scots fought for control of the Borders! Nowadays this small coastal town retains much of its charm, with quaint narrow streets enclosed within great Elizabethan walls - walks along these offer spectacular views over the coast and river estuary. The town offers excellent amenities including shops/supermarkets, restaurants and pubs, whilst the Maltings Arts Centre provides an extensive programme of cultural events including music, theatre and cinema. Fishing, golf and riding are all available locally and there is a leisure centre in the town offering a pool with waves and flume. Two miles away is the seaside resort of Spittal, with its sandy beaches. Berwick has excellent public transport and there is a frequent train service to both Newcastle and Edinburgh.

Previous visitors' comments about Thomas Sword Good House:
Of all the properties we have rented around the world this is our favorite!
Mr Allen, Kirkby-in-Furness, December 2011
Location of the property was such that we could easily walk to the shops and we hardly had to use the car. Walks from the door were possible. Excellent views, we could even see seals swimming in the river. We did not even go for meals as we made full use of the aga and relevant cook book.
Ms Rodgers, Newcastle upon Tyne, November 2011
Thomas Sword Good House was probably the finest and best equipped property that we have used. The house is full of character, it's a great pleasure to live within this mix of old and new. The space and light within the property plus the views over the Tweed were simply superb. All in all, a great place to stay in and to further explore this fantastic part of England!
Mrs Jackson, Skipton, October 2011
The house and situation were great. We loved the town and the weather was excellent. Great walking and a really interesting day in Edinburgh by train.
