Description:
Welcome to our family home at Castle Vale House. This delightful and secluded property is close to the Main Line station and has its own beautiful garden. The thirteenth century Constable Tower, a remnant of Berwick Castle (English Heritage), stands in the grounds. There are spectacular views of the River Tweed and the Royal Border Bridge. It is only five minutes' walk along the main street to the town centre or fifteen minutes' stroll using the scenic path down through Castle Dene Gardens and along the riverside.
We offer two bedrooms for B&B: The Tweed Suite: a large double/twin room on the ground floor with en-suite shower room. Its two windows overlook the garden and the river. £60 - £75 per night based on two sharing.
The Royal Border Suite: a large double/twin room on the first floor with en-suite shower room. This has the most amazing view up the river through the famous railway bridge. £60 - £75 per night based on two sharing.
We also have a family room available in our separate ground floor annexe, with rates per room from £55 per night, depending on number of people and time of year. This room has a double bed and a single, with en-suite shower room. There is a fold-up bed and cot available. We can accommodate a small dog in our annexe.
Breakfast is served in the dining room. This is a spacious yet cosy room with a large table where guests can enjoy a tasty cooked breakfast served with home baked bread.
We have a friendly collie dog called Jeannie who is very gentle both with children and adults.
Location:
Berwick-upon-Tweed has changed hands many times, often violently, and its town walls are testament to its past as a valued asset fought over by the English and the Scottish. From the top of those walls you can see the wide estuary of the River Tweed and a Robert Stevenson-designed railway viaduct hailed as one of the finest in the world. It is one of the views that has enchanted many, including Lancashire painter L.S. Lowry who painted and holidayed in the town. Today a thriving community of artists is still drawn to Berwick, attracted by its light and character. However, Berwick is about more than its vistas. It is a bustling and vibrant market town that offers everything a visitor could need.
If you like your military history, there's the fantastic Border Barracks and Museum and if you appreciate great culture try the Maltings Theatre and Arts Centre which often hosts some brilliant touring productions. Go further down the coast and discover the Holy Island of Lindisfarne - where early Christianity was nurtured over a thousand years ago - and there is Bamburgh Castle which towers majestically looking out over the North Sea and was recently named as one of Britain's favourite views. The border countryside's turbulent past can be seen all over the landscape, but look out for Chillingham Castle, Norham Castle and Etal Castle. There's also Flodden Field, a 15th Century battle site where, according to local legend, the ghostly echo of clashing sword and battle cry can still be heard to this day.
