Step into this colourful home and you'll quickly find a cosy place to rest your feet, with sumptuous velvet sofas and a warming wood-burning stove. It's got style in abundance, with quirky animal ornaments everywhere you look – lizard-shaped door handles here, a golden monkey statuette there – and lots of vintage books. Even the bathroom benefits from a vivid pop of pink, while the snug bedroom has plush mustard-coloured blankets that will send you off to sleep in no time at all. Winter evenings call for mugs of cocoa and snuggling up in front of the fire, but come summertime, the small patio is a sweet spot to indulge in an evening tipple or two. Right in the heart of Berwick-upon-Tweed, you'll be a short stroll from the River Tweed, a thirteen-minute walk from the beach and close to the array of pubs, cafes and eateries in town. Spend your days weaving along the cobbled streets, admiring the historic buildings and strolling along the Northumberland coast. What's more, the Scottish border is just a few miles away, so switch things up and spend the day in Edinburgh, only forty-five minutes away by train.
