Rule the School

Holiday Rental Description

This rather serious-looking stone building in the centre of Berwick-upon-Tweed was built back in the middle of the nineteenth century and used to be a school. Today, however, it has been completely renovated to the point where you would have no idea that these were once classrooms. In the main living-come-dining area, big windows look out into the garden and the estuary in the distance, as well as bathing the space in natural light. A bio-ethanol fireplace sits at one side of the room and provides a more eco-friendly way of warming up cold hands. When the weather's more agreeable, the home has some private outdoor space, as well as access to a shared courtyard that backs onto the old town walls. The town's pier and lighthouse can be reached in less than fifteen minutes' walk, as can the beach. You can also cross over the Scottish Border in around ten minutes by car, too.

Home truths:
*The home has allocated off-street parking spaces for two cars and there are additional spaces on the street nearby, too
*The host can provide a cot, high chair, children's tableware and toys if required
*Pets are allowed, but the host requests that they do not go upstairs at any point
*No barbecues are allowed in the outdoor space
*The home is split across two storeys with no lift, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*Bedroom two is classed as a twin with a maximum occupancy of two guests
*One additional guest can be accommodated on a sofa-bed
