Cowrie Guest House

Comfortable, cosy, clean, and quiet except for the traffic noise (it's on a busy street). The B&B doesn't have any parking, so be prepared to park your car a few hundred yards away. We had a n enjoyable stay, though the cooked breakfast was one of the smallest we had ever had! Despite having normal appetites, we had to ask for more toast, more coffee and more butter. This was willingly provided but given the premium pricing, we thought a more ample breakfast could have been provided. (And for info, the 'drinks tray' promised on arrival is just DIY tea &coffee - with one biscuit each!)

The room and the whole house was spotlessly clean. The hosts were amazing and very accommodating. We loved the breakfast, the choice and the breakfast room. Thank you for a lovely stay and your helpfulness.

Maybe my favorite place on the coastal path. The rooms were so spacious and comfortable. The hosts helpful with tips on places to eat and see. Breakfast was delicious. I can't say enough about how nice this place was.

Cowrie Guest House is ideally situated for exploring historic Berwick upon Tweed as well as using the train and bus services to travel further afield. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. Ruth and Ian provided a very friendly and informative welcome as well as delicious breakfasts. Definitely a place to stay again. Thank you Ruth and Ian

We had a wonderful long weekend here last month. Ian and Ruth were most helpful and welcoming and had time to answer our questions and give advice about local attractions. We stayed in room 2. It was beautiful and had every possible thing we needed for our stay. Parking was close by if not right outside and the breakfast was tasty and cooked fresh to your choice every day. Fresh milk was available in a little fridge on the landing and extras for your hospitality tray were left for you each day. We had a lovely stay and would love to return soon. Thank you x

Great place to stay! Delicious breakfast. The hosts were extremely helpful with questions and very kind. I would stay here again! Also the location is close to the train station.

We booked our room for two nights from California a few months before arriving and emailed a question about the location and route from the train station as we were arriving from Edinburgh . We received a lovely response within 24 hours . When we arrived early , Ian and Ruth couldn’t have been nicer. They allowed us to leave our luggage as our room wasn’t quite ready. The B&B is truly just 5 minute walk from the train station. Excellent location just a few minutes walk to the center of town. Berwick is walled city and we walked the entire length of the wall on a beautiful day , the views were spectacular . We also visited the Alnwick Castle the following day . Lots of dining choices but it’s almost a must to make reservations for dinner . Our room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious . One morning the breakfast special was avocado toast with ham and egg . The breakfast room was very nice and clean . We enjoyed our stay .

Excellent place to stay, very friendly hosts, Ian and Ruth. Easy parking right outside and easy access to the town. Great breakfast, I had haggis one day... amazing. Lovely little touches service wise and an interesting place to stay. We cannot fault it.

Lovely B&B Our second stay with Ruth and Ian, a lovely friendly couple who go all out to provide a comfortable visit. Great breakfast choice, cosy beds, light airy rooms with windows that open !! ( rare in some places ) fresh milk and plenty refreshments. If ever in the area again we would definitely stay with them.
