The Lookout

The Cottage is lovely with fantastic views across the estuary.

It was well equipped and comfortable.

We wanted to book a seaside holiday with a sea view and that is what we got at the Lookout - the view across the estuary and towards the sea was marvellous, a picture postcard view as the tide came in and out.

The house had everything we needed and was very roomy and comfortable. It was a great base to visit the area and an easy walk into Berwick or to Spittle. A lovely weeks stay.

A wonderful place to stay with stunning and ever changing views.

The bed is really comfortable, the kitchen is spacious and the sitting room is just lovely. It is very easy to spend an age just looking out the window or sitting out in the lovely garden doing absolutely nothing. Pamela provides a little welcome pack, including milk which is really helpful after a long journey and a cuppa is needed. She also thoughtfully provides binoculars, ensuring that more 'standing and staring' happens. Brilliant place

Enjoyable stay.

Wide ranging views of the river Tweed and out to sea from every window and the pretty garden. Comfortable cottage with everything needed and very peaceful. Owner friendly and gave lots of guidance on places to visit. Prime location for wildlife with lots of coastal birds and I saw a seal one day through binoculars. There is a short path from the gate down to the shoreline and walks to the local beach and promenade. Convenient location, a short walk into the town centre with its walls and history, or just a few minutes the other way for a good supermarket and the bus stop for visits to Seahouses for the Farne Islands, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, Alnwick, or even into Scotland. There is parking but it’s also possible to be car free. There are so many options here that it’s hard to choose between them all!

What a beautiful cottage with views to die for.

It was well situated to walk over the bridge into Berwick Town or in the opposite direction to Spittal beach. The cottage is really comfortable with everything you could need. I will certainly be passing it's details on to friends and family. Thankyou Pamela for making our stay so magical.

Lovely comfortable and well equipped cottage in an excellent location for walking and car parking available.

Friendly and helpful owner.

We loved our stay at the Lookout - fantastic views from the living room and front garden, comfortable beds, and a large (well-equipped for cooking) kitchen.

Worth noting that the house was well provisioned with all those things that are frequently missing, or limited, in self-catering houses (loo rolls, bulbs, bin-liners, cleaning provisions, foil/cling film, batteries for remote controls etc). Nothing but praise and it's a great location if you want a day-trip to Edinburgh, we hope to go back.

Full of character, well equipped, comfortable and cosy- fantastic location

We had a fantastic week in the Look out.

So much to see. The sea to be seen from all places in the cottage, even the Loo. Lovely garden and everything there in the cottage. Welcome pack was special. Thank you so much Pamela

Had a fantastic week at The Lookout -we will really miss the incredible views!

Spacious, well-equipped cottage with period features, large comfortable bedrooms and pretty little garden overlooking the Tweed estuary. An easy walk across the old bridge into Berwick-upon-Tweed, a lovely town with plenty of independent shops and restaurants, and a fascinating history. We absolutely loved our stay there and found plenty to do including visits to Lindisfarne, Alnwick, Edinburgh and the Cragside Estate. Another highlight was a boat trip from Berwick, where we were lucky enough to encounter a large group of bottlenose dolphins, which played around the boat for around half an hour - just wonderful!

A lovely old cottage with great views from all rooms.

The property was very well-equipped and had everything we needed, and more. Would highly recommend.

A lovely quirky cottage with splendid views of the estuary and Berwick.

Pamela made us very welcome with some wine crisps milk. Bed was comfy, landing was shall we say an experience. The only slightly negative thing was the fridge and freezer but otherwise fine.

The Lookout is a lovely quirky cottage set overlooking the estuary and sea at Tweedmouth.

It had everything we needed and was very cosy and comfortable. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the 'tipsy floors' upstairs!

It was a lovely quirky cottage Super king sized bed great but shame double size bedding used !

!

A lovely cottage that is comfortable, clean, and cosy.

It is old and has it's quirks, (sloping floors, dated fittings ) which adds to its charm, but is totally functional and well equipped, with fabulous views. Great location for a short walk into town, would be easy to leave the car parked up for days, with so much to discover within walking distance. No issues with parking, and friendly neighbours. Pamela is welcoming and kind, and easy to contact if needed. Would happily return, and also recommend to friends and family. Thank you Pamela, we had a fabulous week.

Loved this house.

Wonderful views interesting features in every room. Individual and quirky so homely. Thank you to Pamela for the welcome pack and very warm arrival. Good literature on local area, eateries and events. So much to see locally could have stayed another week easily. We hope to return thank you Pamela.

The Lookout is an absolute gem.

The views are spectacular from every room. The living room is very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the bedrooms spacious with comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. It's within walking distance of Spittal beach in one direction and Berwick town centre in the other. We felt really at home in the cottage, would highly recommend, and if we return to the region, we would book to stay again.

Lovely cottage, great location and amazing views.

lovely house.

Everything possible had been provided. Wonderful views helpful owner.

Very nice location, grand views over the estuary and extremely welcoming and lovely landlady.

We will definitely come back.

A wonderful stay in this amazing house.

Truly unique with lots of thoughtful touches such as binoculars provided. The view is incredible and captivating. High tide, low tide or in between, there is always something to look at. The neighbours are incredibly friendly, happy and helpful. Parking is easy, which is always a bonus after an 8 hour drive. There is a lovely garden to sit in with a cuppa early morning just listening to the bird song. This place deserves 10 stars.

The Lookout is a very beautiful, comfortable & well equipped cottage, with absolutely stunning views.

The cottage is perfectly located, within easy access of both the wonderful Northumberland coast & Scotland by car & just a short walk across the bridge from Berwick Upon Tweed, with great views of the old town across the river from the cottage. We had a fantastic, relaxing week visiting Northumberland coastal towns, enjoying lovely beach & coastal walks, eating out in some great pubs, cafes & restaurants along the way & getting to know Berwick Upon Tweed itself; its history & the local shops & eateries. Pamela is a kind, helpful & responsive owner who has taken great care to ensure a lovely, relaxing stay. I would thoroughly recommend The Lookout as a perfect holiday cottage destination.

The Lookout was perfect for us as a party of four/two couples.

It is well equipped and importantly, other than your food, you don’t need to worry about anything else (I mean that sometimes, rentals have only just enough soap, dishwasher tabs, bags, kitchen roll, you know what I mean). It was a cool, windy but dry week and the house was always cosy enough and we didn’t need to light the open fire, as tempting as it was! The views from the Lookout are “Simply the Best” - I couldn’t stop looking whether I was outside or inside. Views of the estuary out to sea and towards Berwick are available from all of the front windows and obviously from the garden. Finally, you can easily walk from the Lookout into Berwick and beyond which has lots to offer and to Spittall Sands and beyond. Only limited by your capability and driven by your desire to see and enjoy nature at its best! I love “The Lookout” and Pam, its owner (a lovely lady) was only a short distance away if needed. Thank you Pamela!

Spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a wonderful location to enjoy the sea views.

.

If you like rustic, quaint cottages with coastal views then visit The Lookout.

The views over the harbour change with the tides, at night twinkling lights are mesmerizing. Sit in the lounge with binoculars and watch the swans, or wind surfers and kite flyers. Lovely walks along the coast. A short Stroll into Berwick has every shop and restaurant you can imagine. The train to Edinburgh in 40 minutes for sightseeing, monuments and castles, or just shop. We didn't use the car once during our weeks stay as public transport good. Pam the owner has thought of everything you might need to enjoy your stay and a welcome bottle of wine as well. Thankyou

Gorgeous cottage with amazing views.

Pamela was extremely helpful. Would not hesitate to stay again.

We had a lovely week in the Lookout.

Spacious and comfortable with outstanding views over the estuary from each room, and the cottage is really well equipped with all you’ll need while there. Pamela was always available and easy to contact. Looking forward to staying again.

Great cottage in in fab location.

It had everything we needed. Pamela was extremely welcoming and helpful. We’d definitely stay again if in the area. The only negative was that we lost wifi but apparently this was due to a change in service provider which occurred during our stay.

It’s rare to find a property so well equipped.

Homely, welcoming and quaint, with stunning views. Spotlessly clean and positioned perfectly for all amenities. We loved our stay at the cottage and would highly recommend.

A lovely cottage with everything provided you could need - great views, a comfortable bedroom and sitting room and a good kitchen with lots of accessories

Lovely cosy cottage.

Outstanding views from all rooms. Can walk to beach or town within 15 mins. Lots of leaflets/information. Would recommend the walk around the town walls, telling the history of Berwick. No problems with parking. There is one allocated space in a set of three. Nice to be able to use the wood burning stoves in the evening. Shame we had to leave early due to snow. Highly recommended.

We were made to feel most welcome by the owner.

The cottage was comfortable, ideally situated and had all the facilities we required. I would highly recommend it as a base to discover this beautiful part of the world.

This is an absolutely amazing place and we had a wonderful week.

The rooms are huge but so cosy. Bed was divine and we had the best week's sleep in an age. The accessible garden is so pretty. We watched a hen pheasant for ages strutting about at the back of the property through the window. The wildlife is incredible too. Thanks to one of the neighbours, we saw a big dog otter by the railway bridge. A huge thank you to Pamela for being thoughtful enough to provide things like binoculars. We simply cannot recommend this place enough and can't wait to go back.

Everything you could think off was provided and the view was stunning

Unfortunately the back garden is not in use, otherwise excellent, easy parking, all needs catered for, clean and well maintained, lovely welcome basket, prompt response to request for a BBQ.

Outstanding location and views, peaceful location, easy walk to beach and town(couple of steepish inclines), food shops, cafes, restaurants and takeaway just a short walk away. Nice neighbours.

The look out is in the most peaceful setting with fantastic views of the estuary.

It is a well equipped cottage with every comfort you need. We just love it there.

A “quirky” but extremely quaint cottage in an excellent elevated position overlooking the River Tweed estuary.

Not a level floor or square wall to be found but it all added to the absolute charm of the place. Cosy Inglenook fireplaces with wood burning stoves in both rooms, what’s not to like? Charming, informative, non - intrusive and helpful owner (Pamela). Absolutely recommend this place.

An amazing cottage with fantastic views.

The cottage is spacious and comes fully equipped with everything you need. The host provided a generous welcome pack and it really felt like a home from home

A comfortable, clean and very well equipped cottage in a lovely location with beautiful views.

The owner had thought of everything to make it a real home from home. So peaceful at night too for sleeping. Would thoroughly recommend and would love to return one day.

Lovely quaint quirky cottage.

Absolutely everything you could need in a home from home. Lovely views, well located for touring around. Fascinating watching the tides, the odd ship being piloted out to sea, the swans in the water and the sun rise. Binoculars provided!

Beautiful cottage with outstanding views.

We absolutely loved it! Great walks around Berwick. We loved walking to the lighthouse and along the river bank. Very spacious inside and beautifully clean. Pamela kept in touch and although we didn't meet was very attentive but respected our privacy. Would highly recommend it for a great stay.

This is a fabulous cottage.

Essentially 2 up 2 down but the rooms are so large that it feels very spacious. The sea views are panoramic and the harbour edge is just a 5 min stroll. The Spital beach is extensive and close enough to walk. Our favourite shellfish wholesaler has a little shop on the harbour edge and would prepare us a platter of local lobster, crab and prawns in request. We hope to return.

Home from home cottage , everything provided for our stay .

Amazing veiws and great location , Pamela is great owner , nothing to much trouble x

We had a lovely stay at the Lookout despite arriving during Storm Arwen.

Pamela was an excellent host and took the time to check everything was ok following the storm. Parking is not allocated but there are 3 marked spaces to share with the other cottages. Both bedrooms are very generous in size and the bed was huge and comfortable. Seating in the lounge was also very comfortable and the fire stove was easy to light and hot.There is also plenty of on street parking and we never had a problem. Berwick is just a short walk away with a selection of independent shops although some are closed as in a lot of towns today. The Brewers Arms provided good home cooked food at a very reasonable price and there were a couple of nice pubs/bars on Bridge End. Plenty of walking opportunities without having to use a car.

The Lookout is in an excellent position with fantastic views over the river and the sea.

The cottage is very comfortable, very well presented and extremely well equipped. Small touches like binoculars to look at the sea birds and the boats show that the owner really wants to make the visit special

Fab holiday cottage.

Owner provided all the little details that make a holiday perfect.

This is a wonderful property in a great location.

Our host was lovely and gave us lots of good advice about getting out and about. I would thoroughly recommend this property for great stay in Berwick

The wood fires.

Watching the wild weather in comfort.

The Lookout is a wonderful place to stay because of the views across the estuary, from sunrise to the moon rising at night.

Every room in the house has the view. It's well located for visiting places but it's also a lovely place if you want to curl up with a good book and stay indoors. The kitchen is well supplied with equipment if you fancy cooking/baking. Ideal for getting away from it all whilst still benefitting from being in walking distance of shops.

The Lookout is beautifully situated.

Right on the estuary with fantastic views and you can watch from the house the birds on the estuary all day with binoculars. You can hear the regular cry of the curlews. The large skies and sunsets are fantastic. It's a short walk into Berwick which is enjoyable at any time of day. We can park your car and walk from the house, which we did everyday. Exploring the beaches, pier, riverside and Berwick itself. Excellent places to eat in Berwick too. Loved every minute of our stay. The house has everything you need and is comfortable well equipped.

An excellent cottage with fantastic sea views Pamela ,the owner, was really nice too .

The 'Lookout' has a fantastic view from all the windows and that alone makes it a great place to stay.

The cottage has a nice traditional feel to it, and the bed in the main bedroom gave us the best week's sleep we've had in a few year's! Plus, to see a large group of swans on the estuary at most times of the day and herons fishing ( well camouflaged ). We can't say anything about Berwick that hasn't already been said, but we'll be going back.

We were fortunate to enjoy a week of fantastic weather at The Lookout and we shall miss the stunning views of the estuary and Berwick from this property.

The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable, nice and clean with a very friendly owner who popped round to make sure we had everything we needed. We walked across to the walled town of Berwick upon Tweed quite often and also walked to the beaches at Spittal point. There is a shop selling fresh seafood down on Dock Road within walking distance which is worth visiting. We would love to return to this property so would definitely recommend it.

Will seek to go again.

...that says everything...

After nearly 15 months of covid restrictions it was a welcome change to see another location further than 5 miles away.

The Lookout cottage has wonderful views of the Tweed estuary and the views change almost hourly. Berwick is a 20 minute walk away due to lower level bridge closed whilst we were there but it is worth it. The walk along the battlements and out to the light on the breakwater were very pleasant. The promenade at Spittal is well worth the effort especially when the tide is high and the wind onshore. This produces marvellous breakers. Whilst there we visited Bamburgh (great beach), St. Abbs Head ( strenuous walk not for youngsters unless tethered) and Eyemouth.

The Lookout is a lovely cottage situated in a place where you have wonderful views from all windows.

The short walk down is very handy to take the dog onto the Green morning and evening. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and warm and cozy. Berwick upon Tweed is a lovely town and we didn’t have to use the car for most of the week. Plenty of walks in the area, and the towns history is lovely. The connection with Lowry is nice and , we didn’t follow the trail so unsure if we found all the pictures, but this will be another holiday to come!. We will definitely be returning to Berwick as there is so much we will need to do that we didn’t due to COVID, and The Lookout is where we will stay.

Holiday accomodation was excellent, however not impressed with your policies regarding refunds and cancellations reating to Coronavirus.

Sykes has sadly gone way down in my estimations.

Wonderful location with breathtaking views that change every minute and so peaceful and quiet.

The house is comfortable and quaint - we loved the sloping floors and log burners in both downstairs rooms. The cottage was spotlessly clean and loved the basket of treats for us - nice touch. If you’re tall though watch your head in the hallway. My husband clunked his head everyday on the glass lampshade. Parking not far away and the garden is well kept and pretty. We had a lovely stay, thank you

A delightful, comfortable, cosy cottage with the most amazing views.

A real home from home with everything you could want or need provided by the owner. Great location to explore the coastline of Northumbria and over the border into Scotland. Fantastic dog friendly beaches and plenty of great walks. We returned for a second year and it didn’t disappoint, we had a wonderful week. Thank you Pamela.

Lovely comfortable cottage with amazing views.

We loved every minute of our holiday at The Lookout & would have happily stopped another week.

The views from the cottage are brilliant looking across the estuary to Berwick & also out to sea past the pier & lighthouse which make brilliant photo opportunities due to the changing light & weather conditions. We took our dog Wilf & we basically walked his legs off as there are numerous great walks from the doorstep, Spittle Beach is well worth the short walk too. We hardly used the car as there was so much to enjoy locally just across the bridge into Berwick old town. But if you want to travel then there are plenty of other beaches & harbours to visit. Pamela the owner is very friendly & helpful, she called in with her dog Marley to make sure everything was ok for us & said we could contact her if we had any issues which we didn't need to. So if you like walking & sightseeing with plenty to do without having to use the car & also the peace & quiet too then I recommend The Lookout, we certainly intend to return...Mark, Jill & Wilf the dog...North Lincs.

The cottage is beautiful and very well presented.

We especially loved the two log burners where we could have a real fire during dinner and then one in the lounge when relaxing. It is really close to the beach which is fabulous for a morning walk to watch the sunrise. Well placed for visiting the attractions and the coastal walks are stunning. It is a short walk into the town with lots of lovely shops and places to eat. The views from the cottage are great and it was nice to sit and watch the world go by in such comfort. Would definitely recommend, thanks Pamela for keeping such a lovely place!

Great cottage with lots of character, sloping floors and wooden beams.

Very cosy, exceptionally clean and we'll stocked with all the little extras you might need around the kitchen. The owner had thought of everything. Great to have a bath to soak in after a good walk and the bed was extremely comfy. Fabulous views from the cottage looking accross to the walls of Berwick and out to sea. Lots of history to explore plus great walks around the walls, the town, the beach and along the river meant we didn't need to use the car for the entire week which was an added bonus. Really enjoyed our holiday. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

A lovely, cosy, comfortable cottage set in a wonderful location, within walking distance of the town of Berwick Upon Tweed, with great views from all windows.

Plenty of room, comfy sofas, & bed with exceptional quality of linens etc. Couldn’t fault it. Would definitely return.

What a fabulous week we have had in this wonderfully cosy cottage.

A real home from home. The attention to detail is faultless, there’s nothing you could possibly need that hasn’t been made available. Thank you so much for a wonderful week away Miss Speirs. We have loved it so much we’ve rebooked for next year. We look forward to seeing you again then.

Great cottage, very clean, fantastic views, everything you need is thought of by the owner.

the perfect place to explore northumberland, pubs shops and restaurants within a short walking distance i would go back again,

We loved it at the lookout.

On arrival you have to leave your car next to the adjoining cottage which was a bit tiresome carrying everything inside. But we had a surprise welcome pack of wine, shortbread, strawberries, cream and milk which was really lovely, And we quickly forgot about the car parking. The cottage is really cozy, very well equipped, the bedrooms are huge, the beds very comfortable and the view is beautiful. There are even supplies of washing up liquid, loo rolls, and hand soap so you don’t need to take your own, as we had. We met the neighbours in the next door cottage and a guy next to the car parking area, who were really nice and very helpful. And we met the owner who is a lovely lady. It is a 15-20 minute walk into Berwick town. A couple of times we got a taxi and it was £4 each way. We would definitely book again if we returned to Northumberland and would recommend it to anyone.

A charming holiday cottage in a superb location.

The cottage was well equipped, very comfortable with splendid views. The small, enclosed garden was just right for our small dog. The parking was off road but it was not a problem. The neighbours are nearby and we found them to be delightful. The owner was very helpful and on hand if needed. We loved it and intend to re-book.

This was a very spacious cottage and the view was wonderful.

Far more spacious than we envisaged. very comfortable too,

very relaxing holiday in this cottage - excellent views over the estuary and very safe enclosed garden for our dog - she loved it, nice walks near to the cottage.

Very clean and comfortable

Fantastic location.

Lovely house. This beautiful cottage met all of our expectations and more. Could not wish for a more cosy place to stay.

Lovely house, great welcome treats, very nice owner.

The most wonderful cottage prepared with such love and care .

Exceptional cleanliness. Very kind and thoughtful owner We have already re booked . Thank you .

The property was absolutely fantastic.

Loads of character, very comfortable, cosy and relaxing and in an excellent situation with ever changing views over the estuary. All this resulted in a perfect holiday.

This cottage ticked every box.

Beautiful views as well. The best cottage we have stayed in

Such a find lovely cosy cottage with views across the Tweed .

Perfect location for exploring the be coast

inside the cottage it was so quiet.

the view was brilliant, the sun rise and sun sets where fantastic. the cottage inside was very old world and we loved it and very comfortable

The Lookout has the most fantastic views from every window.

It's like looking at a different picture on each wall. The cottage is well equipped and extremely comfortable. The bedrooms are enormous. The setting is so peaceful and tranquil and is within easy walking distance to the town and the beach. The supermarket is just at the end of the road. There are so many wonderful places to visit in the area.

Beautiful cottage, well equipped with stunning views.

Worth mentioning that parking can be tricky and there are a couple of steep roads to walk out if mobility is a problem. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect cottage ,ideal location was a home from home will defo be going back and the dog enjoyed it too

Location views comfort facilities and everything you could possibly need was there.

What a great cottage.

Fantastic location with wonderfull views of river mouth, sea and Berwick-upon-Tweed old town.Would recommend to anyone.The Cottage is handy for both town, shops, supermarkets ,beaches and local attractions.A very comfortable and good size accommodation and a very nice welcome pack provided to start the holiday off, Well done to both Sykes and the owner for presentation. Will definitely use Sykes again. CJH

Very comfortable beds.

Very well appointed kitchen. Generous welcome gifts at start: wine, biscuits, fruit. Lovely location, with a pleasant garden overlooking Tweed estuary. c. 30 minute walk into Berwick or 5 minutes by car. Provision of a free car park permit was very helpful. Good garden furniture. Cosy lounge with comfortable sofas. Quiet location. Needed central heating at times in the evening, as weather was a mixture of warm sunshine and chilly sea fog, and the system worked very efficiently. Easy train ride to Edinburgh from Berwick station.

We stayed at this cottage in August 2016.

The views are fantastic from all rooms. It is in easy reach to both Berwick town centre and the beach. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again Pamela.

Sykes did everything they needed and more.

The phone call checking in to see if everything was okay really did impress us.

WE HAD A LOVELY HOLIDAY AND WOULD RETURN THE VIEW WAS BEAUTIFUL A VERY RELAXING PLACE AND EASY TO REACH OTHER PLACES FROM,

Lovely cottage and garden with great views across the Estuary.

The owner Pamela was very helpful, we will definitely recommend to family/friends and may return in the future.

The cottage was a dream, very clean, everything there that you needed, ideal location for walking, beautiful views.

Nothing to much trouble for the owner. Would use this cottage again.

Home from home, fabulous views, great walks for dogs, everything you need, Pamela very helpful.

the spectacular view and the comfort of the cottage also the cleanliness of everything

My holiday was amazing and great cottage.

We booked this short break and then did not want to leave.

Pamela the owner was fantastic. The cottage had everything you could ever want in a fantastic location. We will be returning and recommending to family and friends.

What a wonderful clean and tidy cottage with fantastic views across the harbour plenty to do out and about great walled town of Berkwick upon Tweed with walks around the old castle walls and lovely walks across to Spittall with a sandy beach also castles just a set drive away Bamborough, alnwich and also Holy island will definitely book again

We were delighted with the cottage, its location, and attendant views.

It combined the privacy of an out-of-the way cottage and the convenience of a more centrally located property.

This was a most comfortable cottage with beautiful views from every window.

An interesting and very dog friendly beach is an easy walk just 10mins from the cottage. We enjoyed a wonderful holiday in this most historic and scenic area.

There are not many places I would consider returning to, but this is definitely one of them.

The Lookout was immaculately clean with comfortable beds, fluffy towels, a wide range of 'necessities' and a wonderful location. I also liked the non-fitted French feel of the kitchen. In fact I have no complaints about anything at all. Wonderful!

Excellent location, fabulous views from all windows, well equipped accommodation, easy walk into Berwick and beaches, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island very easy to get too.

Would definitely recommend this cottage. Thank you Pamela.

This was a quirkily furnished cottage in a peaceful location.

The cottage owner had really considered a holidaymakers needs when equipping it. We loved it and it led to a very relaxing holiday
