“Wonderful cottage in a great location.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay which was our second visit to this accommodation.

Susan October 2024

“A beautiful cottage right in the middle of town but quiet and secluded.”

We were warm and cosy and everything we could think of was provided. It was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! Owners provided comprehensive instructions and suggestions which were most useful. Parking is an issue so be prepared to hunt around for a space if the residents spaces are taken.

“Delightful cottage.”

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and set in a quiet courtyard so no road noise. A residents parking permit is provided and we were lucky enough to get a spot but it could potentially be problematic during peak times. Lovely walks along the river, the walls of the town and out to the lighthouse and the beach. Castles and bridges boat trip was interesting. Very easy to get to Edinburgh by train with the station a short ten minute walk from the cottage. Plenty of places to eat. Atelier, Audela and Mavi were all excellent. Would advise booking ahead. Coull’s fish and chips were good, as was Amran’s Indian. Would definitely recommend this property!

“Charter’s cottage is delightful.”

It was very comfortable and had all that we needed - a real home from home. Ideally situated in Berwick close to all amenities and attractions.

Thank you for your comments, we're glad that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
John September 2024

“Lovely place.”

We had a fantastic stay. Perhaps the parking arrangements could have been explained more clearly.

Michael July 2024

“An excellent cottage, immaculately clean, very comfortable, well-presented and well equipped.”

Berwick is a very good base for exploring Northumberland and south east Scotland. The owners’ communications were very good.

- Michael, July 2024
Jill July 2024

“We had a lovely week’s stay at Charter’s cottage.”

Would have given it a 5* rating for the “accuracy of the listing” but found the parking permit supplied, was for the public road outside the courtyard (we were under the impression parking was within the courtyard). It was difficult to say the least at times, to find somewhere to park within the ‘permit side’, or we had to keep moving the car after 2 hours on the “disc parking” side of the road. Other than this particular issue, the cottage was fabulous, best place we’ve ever stayed in.

- Jill, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback, it's good to hear that you enjoyed the cottage and your stay. Regarding parking, we're sorry that you had the impression it was available within the courtyard and have requested that the wording in the property description makes it clear that parking is on-road and that the courtyard is pedestrian access. Property Owner
Christine July 2024

“Everything in the cottage was as it should be.”

Sadly, this is not always the case with self catering accommodation. We had a very comfortable 3 nights there and would be happy to return to Charter's Cottage in the future.

- Christine, July 2024

Thank you for your kind comments. There's a lot to do in and around Berwick and we hope you can return to the area for a longer stay. Property Owner
Eric June 2024

“We enjoyed our stay in Charter's Cottage.”

The decor is lovely and we found the cottage both very clean and comfortable. It is ideally located for exploring Berwick and beyond. The courtyard is also a nice sun trap during the day. We appreciated the goodies left for us on arrival.

- Eric, June 2024
Hilary June 2024

“The property was well presented, and in a charming and quiet location.”

It was clean and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen. There was a good clear information file with instructions re central heating, tv, WiFi etc, plus information about the parking, eating places and so forth. Really your every need was catered for.

- Hilary, June 2024
Megan May 2024

“Fantastic visit.”

A real home from home. Everything I used worked and was well looked after. The cottage is centrally located and there was a welcome space with local produce. The emails before were useful in helping me find the cottage and what to do. I didn’t have a car so can’t comment on the parking but the bus and train were within walking distance. I also saw the dolphins from the pier on my final night!

- Megan, May 2024
Agnes May 2024

“Lovely cottage very clean.”

Great base close to the town and train station.

- Agnes, May 2024
Alison April 2024

“Excellent property - really comfortable, very clean, well equipped (although we had to buy toilet roll - we left the extra).”

The parking situation needs to be explained more clearly in the description of the property.

“5 star Accommodation in a fantastic setting.”

The owners had thought of everything making it a real home from home. One of the nicest accommodation we have stayed in across the world.

- Stephen, March 2024
Ann February 2024

“A really lovely comfortable cottage in the heart of Berwick.”

An amazing centre. We arrived by train and used the buses and trains to explore further afield. We even managed to watch a film at The Maltings just 5 minutes walk away..

- Ann, February 2024
Katharine January 2024

“Beautiful cottage with everything you could need, 2 minutes walk from the Main Street in Berwick and 5 minutes walk from the sea.”

Lovely decor, comfortable bed and the hosts even contacted us when it was predicted to be cold weather to advise on the heating. Would highly recommend

- Katharine, January 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Berwick has something to offer all year round and we hope you'll return Property Owner
Donald December 2023

“The cottage is lovely and we were impressed by the generous, thoughtful welcome pack and the Christmas decorations which made the cottage memorably warm and welcoming.”

We wanted to open our bedroom window for ventilation to deal with condensation in the damp weather but the bedroom window was stuck fast. There is black mould growing on the bedroom and bathroom window frames and the frames need to be cleaned thoroughly. We enjoyed our stay very much and would choose Charter's Cottage again if we return to Berwick.

- Donald, December 2023

Thank you for your comments, we're glad you enjoyed your stay and the Christmas decorations. Unfortunately because the house is a listed Georgian property we are restricted to using single glazed sash windows and condensation is an issue. We've stepped up cleaning checks on the frames and opening as a result of your feedback. Property Owner
Richard November 2023

“The cottage was fantastic, a real home from home.”

We had everything we needed and the owner had good communication. The cottage is very close to the town with plenty to see and do.

- Richard, November 2023
Patricia October 2023

“Really enjoyable stay.”

Very comfortable cottage. Well equipped. Location ideal for exploring area. Would highly recommend.

- Patricia, October 2023
Valerie October 2023

“Would highly recommend, cottage was highly furnished, spotlessly clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay.”

Parking was a bit of an issue, permit supplied but if you couldn’t find a residence spot you had to use the parking disk and you could only stay 2 to 3 hours until you had to move your car. I wouldn’t let this stop me from staying again as the cottage was lovely.

- Valerie, October 2023
Ian October 2023

“Lovely cottage, enjoyed our stay and couldn’t fault the accommodation.”

Will definitely stay here again.

- Ian, October 2023

Glad you had a good stay and we hope to see you in the future. Property Owner
Wendy September 2023

“This is a stunning cottage set in a beautiful cobbled courtyard.”

So quiet you would not know you were in a town. Parked car up and used the Discover Northumberland bus service which for a 3 day saver was exceptional value and a great way of seeing Northumberland. Views from the upstairs of bus meant you could see all the coastline and the beautiful countryside. Only used our car twice. What a result.

- Wendy, September 2023

Thank you for your comments, great to see that you enjoyed your stay. The X18 bus is a really good way to see the sights down the coast. Property Owner
Elaine August 2023

“Very clean and comfortable little cottage, well situated for the town.”

Short walk to the walls and the riverside, as well as the station for going further afield. Lovely area to explore. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed.

- Elaine, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. So pleased you enjoyed visiting Berwick and your stay in the cottage. Hope to see you again. Property Owner
Christopher July 2023

“Could have done with some extra toilet rolls!”

Loved the curtains, but heavy duty curtain hooks are required as each time the curtains were drawn they came off!!

- Christopher, July 2023

Clear instructions and a handy information book was provided inside the cottage . Would highly recommend .
