“The cottage was in a quiet location near to the centre of town. Cottage was fully equipped with everything you could ever need and was spotless. The courtyard garden was absolutely beautiful and enjoyed watching the birds feed in the morning. Was also lucky enough to have nice weather and sit out and have a glass of wine in the late afternoon and enjoy the beautiful garden.”
"Oil Mill Lane Cottage provides a top class, wonderful home from home holiday experience where you can retreat to an oasis of calm near Berwick’s historic old walls and Pier Road with its beautiful views out to the Tweed Estuary beaches. You are also within two minutes walking distance of Berwick’s main thoroughfares with easy access to the array of cafes, restaurants and bars that the town has to offer. Location could not be better and it’s also an easy walk from the rail station if you aren’t driving.
The cottage itself is spotlessly clean, bright, cosy and extremely spacious. The living room looks out onto the beautiful walled garden which offers two sitting areas which guests can use. We sat out here often during our stay as it’s quite the sun trap.
John has thought of everything that you could possibly need on a self catering break. The kitchen is large and fully equipped with all the things that you would have in your own kitchen (and more- there is even a pestle and mortar!) John himself is the consummate host, friendly, welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. He’s also very knowledgeable about the local area. I can’t wait to come back!"

"Oil Mill Lane is clean, comfortable and cosy. It has everything you need. Washer, dishwasher, tv and a very well equipped kitchen. The Courtyard garden is a delight. A real feast for the eye with flowers and plants everywhere. Table and chairs too, for al fresco dining!
The apartment is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Berwick. Literally everything is available on your doorstep!
Nothing is too much trouble for John the Owner. You will be well looked after."

"We have had a wonderful 7 night break staying at the award winning oil mill apartments hosted by John in Berwick upon Tweed.
The apartment is situated in a quite area of the town and very peaceful but within walking distance to the town centre and castle walls
It is a credit to John that the apartment is spotless and a home from home with everything you could possibly need and more. We were looked after by John from the moment we made the booking to returning home.
We could agree with all the comments in the visitors book over the previous 25 years,and look forward to our next visit
Thank you very much,"
