Iona 10 Palace Street East

We had a lovely stay at Iona.

Thank you for the parking permit. The house is lovely and large and we had plenty of room. It had everything we needed (we did run out of coffee but bought some locally). It was perfectly placed for the shops, places to visit, and restaurants/cafes. Thank you for letting us stay.

We had a wonderful time staying in Iona.

Everything was good. It was comfortable and spacious. We had everything we needed. Everything worked ( we struggled with the toilet roll holder in the downstairs loo

Had a fantastic stay at Iona, the property is full of character and charm.

The place is spotlessly clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The area is really quiet and is only 100 yards from the walls on the mouth of the river tweed. If we come back to berwick, and I'm sure we will, we will definitely look to come back to this wonderful property

The holiday house exceeded our expectations in many ways.

It is set in the old quarter of Berwick, an unspoilt quiet spot just steps away from the wall walk, from where we could see the Northern Lights. The interior decor is good. It's cosy and there's everything you need for a week's stay. There's a permit for parking and plenty of free car parks in the vicinity. The owners make every effort to please. We had no problems finding a range of activities, from walking at St Abb's Head (where we saw a beach of seals!), visiting local cultural venues, visiting the Tapestry of Scotland to taking a train into Edinburgh for exhibitions.

Situated in a quiet but convenient location in beautiful Berwick, Iona is lovely, well equipped house and spotlessly clean.

This was my third visit to Berwick and the nicest accommodation I have stayed in. Thank you Maureen & Peter.

Iona was the best holiday property we have ever stayed in.

We loved it. It was quiet, comfortable and spotless. Everything was absolutely first -rate. So much thought had obviously gone in to providing top quality accommodation. We had a wonderful week exploring Berwick and its environs and would love to return. Thank you Peter and Maureen.

Really great home from home .

We enjoyed Berwick and environs very much. Only mild boggle were the sodas not being that comfortable. In summary we would come again! Also owner Maureen gave us a tip on a good show at the the Edinburgh Fringe, "Out of the Blue" which we took in and loved- thanks Maureen !!

We had a weeks stay at Iona which we found excellent.

The property is in a quiet part of town but very near the centre of things so perfect for us. The cottage is comfortable and wecoming .It's a spacious property which we enjoyed too.

The owner was very helpful and we had a perfect holiday here

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful well maintained property.

Very central for eateries/shops and local buses. Comfortable furniture and beds brilliant kitchen everything we would need in a holiday property was there. A lot of thought has gone into this accommodation a big thank you to the owners Mr & Mrs Elliot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our family group.

The house was ideally situated within the town and only a few minutes from the shops and the sea. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed if cooking on the premises. The house catered for all our needs. Well done.

Iona was an extremely comfortable house.

It was warm, welcoming, clean and well-equipped. The location was ideal for the town centre and access to the walls, as well as being very quiet. It fulfilled all our needs splendidly. Highly recommended!

Great holiday enjoyed by all the family.

The house is spotless and well equipped for self catering. Joked with owner as we arrived for the heatwave-have renamed house from Iona 10 to Tenerife 30 . The weather ensured we got out all week to enjoy the historic town of Berwick-The house is perfectly situated for dining out, I particularly would recommend the Limoncello, Foxtons and Magna Indian, all 5 minutes walk away. My favourite part of house was my comfortable bed as I slept like a log with all the activities we did. No hesitation recommending Iona and Berwick for anyone wishing to holiday in this area

'Iona' was an exceptionally beautiful house, with lots of historical interest, full of antique furniture, and yet supplied with modern conveniences!

We all loved it, and my teenage son is already asking to return another year. (I think he enjoyed the luxury of a huge bed and a second television set!) There is plentiful parking outside and a parking permit is provided for the duration of your stay. I should add that we didn't feel the need to use our car at all while we were in Berwick-upon-Tweed: we walked around the local area and otherwise used trains and buses, which were much more frequent than where we live. (NB I would very strongly recommend bus rather than car for Lindisfarne! The car park there was jam-packed when we visited mid-week - and the bus timetable is specially adapted to fit in with the tides.) Berwick itself was a great place to stay, and although it has some of the mainstream supermarkets (Aldi, Morrison's, etc), it also has a number of charming, independent shops. We loved 'The Green Shop', which specialises in organic/fairtrade goods, and the fabulous 'Slightly Foxed' bookshop, while the things for sale in Jennie's Wool Studio made me wish I knitted more ... The owners are lovely and very helpful - they answered my queries rapidly, and provided milk, tea, coffee and biscuits in the property.

Excellent venue and standard of accommodation was first class.

We were a golfing party playing in and around the area. Perfectly placed for such a venture with evening hospitality available within walking distance. Also played tennis on the local courts and made very welcome at the bowls club !

Property was fantastic very equipped lots of steps, which was as described but we hadn't realised that both bathrooms were in the lower half of property, our fault I'm sure.

Property temperature was set too low 11.5 meant the Property was just too cold we have all returned with colds. Berwick was very interesting town defences very impressive, we saw the annual curfew run, the first for 2 years thx to covid. Berwick is in need of a good clean up, town appeared a little unloved by the locals but some nice coffee shops and restaurants. Our landlords were very easy to speak withband the personal touch in the days leading up to our break were a lovely touch. 8.5/10 great break overall

Very comfortable and well appointed 'home from home' in an excellent location.

A very relaxing and comfortable stay at Iona Cottage.

Genuine friendly and helpful communication from Peter and Maureen throughout our holiday. Everything at the cottage was to hand and we needed for nothing, will hopefully return as soon as we can....

Excellent property, ideal for our needs

House in great location, easy to walk to town or around the city walls.

Beds very comfortable and the whole house very well equipped.

Plenty space for everyone.

Slight issue getting clothes dry. Perhaps a pulley in the back door corridor ?

A lovely house which is well equipped and in a good central location.

Lovely large family home with no faults and a well equipped kitchen.

The only downside is that if you want a walk into town, the shops can be far away. I would recommend doing an online for shop when you arrive. The area was very quiet and the property is definitely a home from home. It was nice to have a separate dining room with the sitting room upstairs. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was in place to ensure a safe stay with the current government guidelines due to Covid 19.

A lovely house.

Three generations had a most enjoyable week getting to know the area.

I was reassured that all measures were in place to protect us from COVID and delighted that these measures didn’t compromise the quality of the accommodation.

Really friendly and helpful owner. We had a wonderful holiday.

The house was amazing and very well equipped.

We all really loved it. Berwick is a fabulous town, beautiful with lovely walks and picturesque landscapes. Would readily recommend to anyone.

Great location as very central, near river and sea and very near the walls.

Property was lovely, classic design with modern kitchen. Would only have been improved if there had been a garden or area to sit outside at the property but as it is a town house this was not really a possibility. Would recommend especially for 2 families sharing.

Absolutely lovely house, in a great location.

Spotlessly clean, cosy, and comfortable. Plenty of space for our family group, with two reception rooms and a spacious kitchen. Berwick is a lovely place, we enjoyed walking along the walls and the view across the sea. Lots of history. Good selection of shops, tearooms and restaurants nearby, also supermarkets to get food and essentials to enjoy in the house. We visited beautiful beaches at nearby Seahouses, Eyemouth, Burnmouth, Newton- on-sea, there are numerous along the stunning coastline. Also many castles to visit in this area. Very peaceful place to stay, in a quiet little square with a grassed area to sit for a while. Lovely memories of a special holiday.

The cottage was perfect for our requirements - clean, spacious, quiet, well-equipped and close to the town.

Lovely place to stay in a great location , Iona is fully equipped for eight people to stay, in comfort and with plenty of space.

There are no issues with parking close by, and there is even free parking opposite the green. Berwick makes a great base for Edinburgh, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle and so many other historic places of interest in the boarders. There is plenty to do in and round the town, including boat trips, fishing and with plenty of lovely beaches you will be stuck for choice. With many good local restaurants & Cafes in town you have plenty of options to stay in or dine out.

Berwick on Tweed is a lovely historic town with beautiful walks on town walls, beaches and aling the river.

"Iona" is in good position for both town with its many cafes and coast. The house kitchen is very well equipped and the chairs and beds were very comfy. Couldn't have asked for more really

The house had everything that we needed (and more).

It was very homely and comfortable and perfectly situated. Would definitely recommend.

This is a stunning house, it has everything and more you could possibly need to make the stay like home from home.

We had an amazing time, we will certainly be booking again.

A lovely property, spacious and clean.

Ideally located - close to Berwick town centre but just far enough away to be quiet. I would certainly consider visiting Berwick again and stay in this property.

We re-booked this house because it had been so pleasant to stay in last time.

It is a really lovely place to stay with excellent facilities, a real home from home

As the Duns Trophy Golfing Party the location was perfect for access to golf courses both in Scotland on the east coast and in Northumberland/Borders.

Importantly though, Berwick upon Tweed was a treasure trove of places to eat and drink after a day on the links and the property was ideal for a party of six ; particularly with two bathrooms. Overall a most enjoyable time and we will return. PS: the views from the fortress ramparts are stunning ! and so close the house for an early morning strole

All worked out as planed

Excellent roomy accommodation – good facilities.

Particularly good for storing cycles as there is a totally secure and enclosed back yard – as well as additional lockable storage space within that and an private passageway. Excellent communications with owner.

House was great.

Fantastic location and clean. Owners very helpful. Does sleep 8 but one room is very small and person sleeping on inside has to crawl over the other to get in and out of bed. Room would be more suited to bunks.

We had a lovely week staying in this beautiful, well-presented and clean house.

It is located in a lovely quiet spot in the centre of town and the parking was excellent. The owners were extremely thoughtful and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely time staying at this property, it was very comfortable, clean and well equipped.

The location was so easy to get to restaurants pubs and shops aswell as to the museums, theatre in town etc. Also so close to the town walls for walls and views. Parking near the property was easy. It is also a quiet location. There's lots to do around the area and beyond and suits lots of different interests.

Very comfortable well-equipped house.

Large comfortable rooms with modern kitchen and bathrooms. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Excellent value for money.
