I think this is the best rental I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in many in many countries. The property is clean spacious and very well equipped. The communal areas are great for group socialising but the individual bedrooms are really big and felt very private as the walls are so thick when you needed space. The extras like the cinema room was wonderful for the kids to get away from the adults and there were so many glasses/plates/cutlery we never ran out although the big dishwasher was a god send !! Even the umbrellas by the front door were a lovely touch. Great location near lovely restaurants and take away and very close to the lovely walls of Berwick. Free parking was very close for everyone in the party. Caroline the owner very responsive to questions and checked in to make sure everything is ok. I would highly recommend this beautiful and relaxing home everything was just so easy x
