There’s something different about Berwick. It’s not just the architecture or the views, though both are impressive. It’s how this walled town carries its history: in the Elizabethan ramparts, the old stone bridges over the River Tweed, and the tight-knit streets lined with Georgian terraces, art galleries, and indie cafés.
It’s the kind of place where you don’t just pass through, you stay, explore, and find your own rhythm. A bustling border town full of coastal charm, dramatic walks, and stunning views, Berwick has long attracted visitors who prefer their holidays with a bit of heritage, sea air, and space to breathe. Our collection of Berwick upon Tweed holiday cottages reflects that same mix of character and comfort. We’ve got stylish riverside apartments and charmed terraced cottages you can choose from.
We handpick only the best self-catering holiday cottages in Berwick-upon-Tweed, each with its own charm and personality. Here’s why our guests return:
You don’t need an itinerary in Berwick, just good shoes and a bit of curiosity. Whether you’re here for a few days or settling in for a slower stay, this coastal town gives you space to explore without rushing. Here are some favourite ways to spend your time:
The complete circuit of Elizabethan fortifications is one of Berwick’s proudest features. Built to keep out the Scots, they now invite everyone in with open views over the sea, the Tweed, and the rooftops of town. Walking the full loop is the best way to get your bearings, and spot places you’ll want to return to.
Berwick Beach is wide and peaceful, with space for dogs and driftwood hunts. Spittal Beach, just across the water, offers a traditional seaside feel, complete with a promenade, colourful beach huts, and an easygoing pace that’s perfect for families.
Berwick’s streets are made for wandering. Stop in at a gallery, browse local crafts, or grab coffee from an independent café. If you’re lucky enough to visit during a market weekend, the charming town square fills with stalls selling local produce, vintage finds, and handmade goods.
From salmon fishing history to stone bridges that frame the skyline, the Tweed has shaped this town from the start. Follow the riverside path past old boathouses and arches, where it’s just you, the water, and the occasional heron.
The Maltings arts centre adds a cultural beat to Berwick’s story. Film screenings, live music, local theatre, and pop-up exhibitions mean there’s often something happening — even when the streets outside are quiet.
Berwick suits every season. In summer, it’s beach walks and open windows. In winter, it’s stormy skies and pub fires. In spring and autumn, you’ll often have the coastal town and the views almost to yourself.
Whatever time of year you visit, our Berwick-upon-Tweed cottages are ready to welcome you with comfort, space, and a real sense of place.
