Notes from the host
House E15610
Georgian grade II listed terraced town house located within the Elizabethan ramparts in historic Berwick upon Tweed; England's most northerly coastal town, which has changed hands between England and Scotland 13 times. Visit Berwick and discover what was worth fighting for. The town boasts magnificent views over the Northumberland coast. Many walks start from the doorstep, along the preserved town walls, the coastal path to St Abbs, or beside the river, spotting seals by the town's three bridges. Berwick's narrow streets are filled with individual restaurants, pubs, shops and on the outskirts lie the main supermarkets. A five minute walk to The Maltings Art Centre, for cultural theatre, music and films. A short drive will take you to the town's leisure centre with wave pool and flume. Behind the house there are tennis courts and an 18 hole golf course. The main train line station has frequent trains to Newcastle (50mins), Durham or Edinburgh (45 mins). Nearby attractions include Holy Island Lindisfarne 10 miles, and Alnwick castle, garden and it's tree house restaurant 35 miles. The house itself sleeps 10, large enough for an extended family, or to meet up with friends; with all five bedrooms en-suite, it is able to offer comfortable sleeping accommodation for everyone. The house is located in a very quiet street,as mentioned in The Times newspaper in 2014.
“ Located within the Elizabethan town walls and therefore an easy walk into the centre, but also backing onto a golf course and, beyond that, only a couple of minutes’ walk to the coast. Barbara Pentecost, of Smiths Gore, admires this quiet, gently sloping street both for its fabulous location and its “glorious” Georgian houses.”

Due to the nature of the street EV charging is not possible at the property. There are plenty of public charging places in Berwick.

The property was in a great location in a fascinating town, with easy access to the coast and lots of places to visit. The Lowry trail around the town is well worth doing. The house is great for the dog - a path leads from the road, very close to no. 40, right up onto the ramparts and access to beach and harbour. We were 8 adults and the house was certainly large enough for us all, with very pretty, comfortable bedrooms and lounge. Very well equipped throughout and beautifully presented.

We are a mature group in all 8 of us stayed at varying times during the week and we had an excellent time. The cooking facilities are very good and we enjoyed every evening in the dining room having our meals. The washing machine and dryers were also very useful as we were completinh the Northumberland coastal path and got very wet a couple of days.

The location of the house was perfect quiet but within walking distance of everything.

Ravensdowne is an ideal holiday home for friends or family holidays get together. The fact all rooms were en suite was a huge bonus and the beds were very comfortable. The house was well furnished, warm and very well equipped. It is a lovely place to celebrate Christmas, with lots of room for everyone to eat together, we actually had 14 for dinner on Boxing Day! The location was ideal, very close to the town centre and the beach. We did a good deal of sightseeing around the local area.
