  • "My friend and I and my small dog enjoyed our weekend break very much."

    We were especially impressed with the attention to detail, such as the Neal's Yard hand wash BioD washing up liquid and provision of pure wool blankets (my friend has poor circulation so feels the cold). The house is ideally located, within walking distance of the rail station, town centre and beach. Though we didn't use them, the bottle of Prosecco and dog treats were a nice touch.

    Thank you Virginia. I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay Anne Property Owner

  • "Islestone is a beautiful house set in a quiet part of Berwick next to the hospital."

    Everything we needed was there, and was perfect for the three of us, even impressing our 19 year old with the amount of room he had. We will definitely be back!

    Thank you Mark. It was lovely to have you stay. You’re very welcome anytime. Anne Property Owner

    The cottage was well equipped with lots of nice touches to make it feel like a home from home.

  • "I think guests should be told that the property is next to a large building site."

    Thanks Amanda for your feedback. The building going up is Berwick’s new community hospital. It is the rear of the hospital that is opposite Islestone. Work is nearly complete - it will be handed to Northumbria healthcare at the end of this year. Most guests over the 2 years the work has taken - and as you found yourself when staying - have found it is not intrusive. At this stage it is largely the internal fit out. I’m sorry you found it problematic and I’m glad that generally you liked the cottage aside from that issue. Best wishes Anne Property Owner

  • "Whilst the property is fine customers should be made aware that it overlooks a huge building site, not shown on website and also parking for this property is a nightmare."

    The visitors parking permit only covers a small amount of parking spots and we had no option but to use a public car park which was far from ideal. Unfortunately i would not stay here again due in the main to the parking or rather the severe lack of it.

    Thanks Tony for your feedback and I am sorry you found the parking difficult. Until the end of this year, when the building of Berwick’s new community hospital is complete parking is more restricted than normal. Once complete the temporary restrictions to parking outside the property will be removed and it will be possible to park opposite the front door once more. The visitors parking permit provided actually allows for parking in most of the town - there are only two residential areas near the train station that it does not cover.

  • "Had a wonderful stay at Islestone."

    It’s a really lovely cottage, well equipped and spotless on arrival. In a great location for exploring lovely Berwick upon Tweed and just a short walking distance from the train station too. Would definitely stay there again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "The information provided days before arrival included how to access the property which was very helpful."

    The owner was easy to contact and quick to reply. The house felt very much a ‘home from home’. Whilst we found one small convenience store nearby, larger stores are about a 20 minute walk away. There’s plenty to do and see in Berwick : with the house being close to the station, we also used the bus and train connections to visit Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Alnwick, and North Berwick for a boat trip to view gannets and puffins.

    Thank you Michael, glad you enjoyed and sorry you didn’t get the bathroom window to close. It does close, but can be stiff as they are old sash and case ones. I opened it just before you came in as it was a warm day, and could have looked in to close it if I’d known. Best wishes Anne Property Owner

  • "Our stay was disappointing."

    No mirror in the main bathroom, no bedside light/table in the second bedroom. Only 2 saucepans, both of which had non-stick so scratched as to be unsafe to use. Most of the glasses provided were difficult to fit into the dish washer No privacy in the lounge which at the moment is overlooked by a building site - a blind would be good.

  • "We stayed at Islestone in June and were very glad to be back there in October / November."

    It's warm, welcoming and a very well equipped property in a convenient location. The owner is very helpful. Berwick is a lovely town to visit and from there it's easy to reach so many other places in both Scotland and England. For instance, you can book a ScotRail ticket to Edinburgh at a bargain price. The journey is less than an hour, and Berwick Railway Station is a short walk from the property.

  • "A very enjoyable experience, cosy, comfortable and very well equipped and an unexpected welcome gift!"

    Easy access to all amenities, shops, pubs, restaurants and public transport. Great for sightseeing and walking along the river path. The only notable drawback being the garden which could easily be improved by the addition of a three foot fence and gate to the front section, thus making the garden enclosed and more dog friendly. We experienced several of the neighbours dogs wandering into the garden during our visit, whilst we’re dog friendly this was not relaxing due to us having our dogs with us. Overall highly recommended and we are most likely to book a return visit!

The property

Islestone, is a pretty, stone-built cottage situated in the coastal town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland.

This two-bedroom end terrace has a light and airy interior with contemporary amenities and is just a stone’s throw away from the beach, perfect for families and friends.

Islestone, is pet-friendly and has roadside permit parking with a disk and a side garden to savour a glass of wine on balmy evenings.

A few steps up lead to the living/dining room, featuring a sofa, an armchair and a Smart TV for some downtime, and dining seating for four.

Walking through the home, the kitchen has everything you need for a self-catered stay, including a gas cooker and a breakfast bar area to enjoy snacks.

After a day whiling away the hours on the beach, venture upstairs to the bathroom; here you can relax with a soak in the roll top bath before heading to bed.

There are two white-washed bedrooms, with a king-size with storage and a single with a quaint reading area by the window.

Islestone, is within walking distance to the East Coast Main Line railway station, whilst there are frequent buses heading towards prime locations, including Holy Island, Bamburgh, Eyemouth and St Abbs, making it possible to enjoy a car free getaway.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is a historic town in Northumberland, situated on the Scottish border.

The town is home to several attractions, including Berwick Boat Trips, Royal Border Bridge, and the Elizabethan Walls, still intact, surrounding the old town.

There are also several cafes and restaurants, including Foxtons Wine bar and Restaurant, The Pilot Inn, a traditional pub hosting live music and a dog-friendly beer garden, Northern Edge Cafe, and Pier Red, which is part cafe, part art gallery and part wine bar.

Berwick beach is within walking distance and a short car journey will take you to the wide expanses of Cocklawburn, Cheswick and Goswick beaches, with iconic Bamburgh dunes and beach just over 20 miles down the coast and accessible by car or bus.

Must visit destinations while in the area include Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle and a boat trip from Seahouses around the Farne Islands, whilst heading north will bring you to St Abbs village and national nature reserve with its stunning cliff top walk.

Visit the ancient town of Alnwick on your travels, hosting the imposing Alnwick Castle and the beautiful Alnwick Garden.

The Alnwick Garden is a horticultural masterpiece, with ornate gardens, a towering treehouse, and the infamous Poison Garden, which is home to some of the deadliest plants in the world.

Also within reach is Edinburgh, a city of towering stone castles and narrow cobblestone streets.

The city's most famous attraction is Edinburgh Castle, which looms over the city from its perch on Castle Rock.

The National Museum of Scotland is also a must-see, as is Holyrood Park, which offers stunning views of the city.

For all this and more, consider Islestone.
