Description
This 3 bedroom home is set within the Berwick town walls and comfortably sleeps 5. There is a private roof terrace which is a sun trap and offers views over the rooftops of Berwick to the Guild Hall clock. This property is within easy walking distance from the train station and Berwick town centre, yet boast miles of coastline and beautiful country side on the doorstep.
The Blue House was built on the 18th Century which give the property its quirky charm. The sociable living space is perfect for enjoy time with family or friends as the living room, dining area and kitchen all interconnect. The bedrooms are simple yet comfortable and the property homes a newly renovated bathroom. This is the prefect home for families, couples or groups of friends to enjoy some time away in one of Northumberland's most beautiful towns.
Guests have access to the whole property which sits at the top end of Ravensdowne an historic residential street.
Guests will be met on arrival by the owners Tim & Fiona, who love to share tip and local knowledge about the area. Tim & Fiona live locally so are on hand to help should you have any issues during your stay.
In terms of Berwick- Upon- Tweed itself, it is a popular coastal town with lovely shops, restaurants and a friendly atmosphere. There are also several other villages scattered within 30miles of Berwick which are there to be explored. The Beaches are truly exceptional and have to be seen to be appreciated- they offer miles and miles of sandy coastline for those who enjoy an a leisurely amble or a long walk. This really is a special and extremely beautiful part of the world.
Berwick Upon Tweed is on the main East Coast train line meaning it is only 50min or so from both Newcastle and Edinburgh, but also easily accessible from York and London. Popular Holy Island and Lindisfarne are just 15/20 minutes drive away, but do be sure to check tide times before your visit! Once in Berwick you can walk everywhere, or there is a good bus network which takes you to the neighbouring villages. Having a car is also great fun as you can go off on day trips and explore a little further afield. Parking in Berwick is free, but you need to display a parking disk in your car window which can be provided or Tim & Fiona can provide one residents permit, you just need to ask. Well behaved dogs are also welcome on request!

“A beautiful and peaceful house.”
The Blue House is a charming place to stay. It is in a great position, an easy walk to the shops and coffee shops, and right next to Berwick's historic walls. The house itself is very well equipped and tastefully decorated, with a blue theme throughout. We loved the roof terrace and the sun room. The owners obviously care about providing a nice place to stay and there is a thoughtful welcome basket on arrival. The Blue House is full of character and we had a lovely few days exploring Berwick.

This is the most awful holiday accomodation I have ever stayed at. The house itself was damp with wet patches on carpets and ceilings. The conservatory ceiling leaked. The house stank of damp. The bat… More

Response from the manager Thank you for your review, although I am sorry that your stay with us did not meet with your expectations. With regard to your deposit, let me be clear that TripAdvisor take, hold and refund all deposits. There was no issue raised by us during the stay and I can confirm that the deposit was refunded in full by TripAdvisor. Please contact them for confirmation. I am sorry if you felt that we had withheld any monies but all deposits are dealt with by TripAdvisor in accordance with their terms and conditions which are explained to you when booking. Claiming we withheld your deposit because of your feedback is upsetting and simply untrue. We welcome all feedback as we are always looking to improve. Again I can only apologise for the fact that your holiday was spoiled by the building work opposite. As we discussed when I met with you there had been an error on the TripAdvisor website which meant that our disclaimer about the building works had not loaded as we are very open with guests about the works despite the fact they are outwith our control. As you weren’t aware in advance I felt it only fair to offer you the option of a refund should you decide to leave and stay in alternative accommodation, or compensation if you decided to stay on in the house. You decided you wished to stay and accepted the £400 compensation offered. I am surprised there is no mention of this in your review as I believed we had worked out a fair solution you were happy with. It is a shame that you did not mention any cleanliness issues when we met to discuss the building works as we would have been delighted to have rectified any issues for you. We are also making every effort to counter the small areas of historic damp within the property, but as with all old buildings this is an on going battle. These small decorative issues I believe to only be minor and I don’t believe they prevent you from enjoying the space provided. Certainly it hasn’t been a problem for any of our other guests and we have priced the property according to its condition. The Blue House is not pretending to be a luxury 5 star property but a quirky, cosy and comfortable 3 star in a great location for exploring Berwick and Northumberland. As owners we go out of our way to try and ensure our guests enjoy the property by meeting them on arrival and being on hand should any issues arise during the stay. I do hope your review, which I believe unreasonable (and totally untrue with regards to the deposit not being refunded), does not stand in the way of other guests enjoying their time at the Blue House.
