“Very pleased with the property.”

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We had a great view from a large window overlooking the Port of Berwick and were entertained by the multitude of swans and a seal and the comings and goings of the Port. Graham was extremely helpful with any queries and we would come back again if we are able.

“Recently spent a week at Mill Wharf and can honestly say the accommodation is fantastic.”

This was our second time staying in the flat (1st time Sept 2023) and we were certainly delighted to be back, the brochure and customer reviews are spot on Graham is a really nice guy, and first class host, and we wish him well in the future Berwick upon Tweed and the surrounding area is a stunning part of the country and is one of our favorite places to visit and stay.

Julie October 2023

“We have just got back from a weeks stay.”

The owner met us at the secure parking gate to show us up to the apartment. He was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was spotlessly clean, very spacious and comfortable, with everything you could need. The views over the Tweed and out to sea were stunning, we spent many hours watching! It’s under a ten minute walk to Berwick centre and from there you can get on the train to lots of places and the bus seems to have a good network. We left our car at the apartment and used public transport to Edinburgh and Alnwick. It’s the perfect base to explore the stunning coastline with many places a short drive away. Berwick is also a beautiful town to explore (would recommend a walk of the walls) and has plenty of shops and eateries (some right on the doorstep!) so you have everything to hand if you don’t want to travel far. The host text a couple of times during our stay to check we were enjoying ourselves, which was considerate of him and appreciated by us. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back and highly recommend.

- Julie, October 2023

Many thanks for your fantastic feedback,hope to see you again next year. Regards Graham Property Owner
Stuart October 2023

“This was our second stay in this beautiful spacious apartment and we already have it booked again for next year.”

It has everything you could possibly want while on holiday, a great shower, comfy bed, own private parking and fantastic views. The owner Graham is lovely and he gives you plenty of information about the local area. It's great that it has a lift with it being on the 2nd floor. Its location is perfect as you can walk into Berwick and also into Spittal. All the places on this coast are beautiful to visit. Lots to see and do in the area, the boat trips from Berwick are great and leave from the end of the old bridge. Also Chillingham Castle is an amazing place to visit. Just a PERFECT apartment.

- Stuart, October 2023

Your kind comments are really appreciated,see you again next year. Regards Graham Property Owner

Dominic September 2023

“Fantastic flat in a brilliant location, close to the town centre(10 min walk) over the old bridge.”

Graham is a welcoming host and knowledgeable regarding the local area and events. The flat is pristine with a superb view overlooking the harbour so good I read 4 books sitting in a comfy chair watching the changing skies and the coming and going in the harbour and estuary. Everything about the flat is comfortable and relaxing from the king size bed to the recliner couch, and the walk in shower room is wonderful. We enjoyed our stay so much we’ve booked to go back in April next year. Secure parking and a lift within the building all added up to making the property top class holiday accommodation.

- Dominic, September 2023

Hi there Many thanks for your very kind words,so pleased you enjoyed everything both in & out of the apartment. Look forward to seeing you again next year. Regards Graham Property Owner
Alison September 2023

John July 2023

“We had a brilliant few days.”

Graham and his wife were very welcoming and helpful. (Thanks so much for the goodies). We found the apartment very relaxing and comfortable. Watching the activity in the dock, enjoying the swans cruising up and down and following the ebb and flow of the tides was relaxing and entertaining. Berwick is a lovely, historic town which we enjoyed exploring. A great place to stay, thank you.

- John, July 2023

Hi John Many thanks for your kind comments about both the apartment & town. Hope to see you back next year. Regards Graham Property Owner

John June 2023

“After the best of weeks at the apartment, it is difficult to add anything to all the many positive ratings and reviews.”

However our thanks to Graham for such attention to detail in this spotless, well designed and equipped holiday home (not forgetting the welcome pack!). We have stayed in about 70 holiday homes over many years, and this is easily one of the very best ever, in every way.

- John, June 2023

Delighted you enjoyed your stay & really appreciate your very kind comments. Hope to see you again next year. Regards Graham Property Owner

“Lovely to be met by the owner who shared his recommendations on where to visit and eat out.”

- Dianne, June 2023

Many thanks for your feedback & look forward to you visiting again. Regards Graham Property Owner
Susan June 2023

“This was a very comfortable and well appointed property with the benefit of a lift.”

We were welcomed by Graham who was very informative and helpful. It was just a few minutes walk to a range of restaurants and there was a handy grocery shop nearby with larger shops a short drive away. The view of the harbour was great - there was always something going on which was interesting to watch. The secure parking space was a great asset. Berwick is well placed to drive down to Bamburgh and Seahouses or up into Scotland. We also caught a bus to Holy Island during our stay. Altogether, we had a lovely time and can strongly recommend a stay at Mill Wharf.

- Susan, June 2023

Many thanks for your kind words & pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner

Plenty to see in and around Berwick, some great little cafes to look out for too. The flat is very nice, well equipped and comfortable. The owner is very attentive, meeting us on arrival with the keys and a quick review of the accommodation.

Christine March 2023

“We've just returned from an excellent 4 night break at 5 Mill Wharf.”

The apartment for two was very clean, spacious, warm, comfortable and very well equipped. Graham was a great host and had thought of everything to make it a very pleasant stay, including a lovely welcome pack - very much appreciated, thank you. The apartment has interesting views overlooking the working harbour. The property is very secure and has private gated parking. There's a supermarket a few hundreds metres away and plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. It's only a short walk over the river bridge to Berwick town centre. Step outside the front door and you're on the Coastal Path route so ideal for walking. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

- Christine, March 2023

Many thanks for your kind comments,pleased you enjoyed all number 5 & area has to offer. Hope to see you again in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner

Maureen February 2023

“Clean comfortable apartment, fabulous views.”

Welcome pack very good and much appreciated. Maintenance issue with TV resolved by owner within 30 mins who was very helpful and chatty. A couple of maintenance issues which the owner was aware of. The only strong negative was the communal stairwell and lift which had a very unpleasant smell. A very enjoyable week.

- Maureen, February 2023

Pleased you enjoyed your recent stay & appreciate the feedback. Believe the occasional smell in the stairwell is due to the hydraulic oil in the lift,I've asked management company responsible to rectify. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner
Ann February 2023

“Just returned from a great week at 5 Mill Wharf - the accommodation is exactly as described and depicted - brilliant location, comfortable and the best equipped holiday let we have stayed in!”

Lovely views from the living area and beautiful scenic coastal walks from the doorstep. Enjoyed days out to Edinburgh(easy access by train), Holy Island/Lindisfarne and fascinating villages of Etal and Ford. Unfortunately many of the historical buildings were closed as too early in the season so worth checking dates if wanting to visit particular places. Lots of lovely places to eat/drink and will definitely be returning.

- Ann, February 2023

Pleased you enjoyed the apartment and your stay (weather helped!) Look forward to seeing you again sometime. Regards Graham Property Owner
Ian February 2023

“Lovely accomodation very relaxing looking out over the river Tweed to Spittal everything you require in the apartment, very comfortable bed also thank you for the goodies that were left, Nice area for long walks into Berwick and along the river and the town walls, Couple of minor faults with the floor and the overhead extractor light blowing aside from that we had a very enjoyable stay.”

thank you Graham

- Ian, February 2023

Pleased you enjoyed your stay & the welcome pack. Apologies for extractor light blowing,unfortunately this was out of my control although I agree one square foot of flooring is a little spongy but safe by the sink. Regards Graham Property Owner
Catherine December 2022

“We cannot recommend this highly enough.”

The property is extremely well maintained and the owner is on hand to deal with any queries extremely quickly. The level of hospitality offered is first rate, very generous in terms of what was provided for us and above and beyond anything we have experienced in other accommodation we have stayed in. Everything that you could want is to hand and the property itself is like a home from home. The surrounding area has much to offer and makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable break. Would strongly recommend this property and the owner who could not be more welcoming and helpful

- Catherine, December 2022

Many thanks for your kind words & feedback. Hope to see you again in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner
Rosie November 2022

“Loved my week in Mill Wharf!”

All very straightforward and enjoyable. The flat felt spacious, well-equipped and comfortable, and the views from the big window were a real delight: over the estuary to Berwick, and looking east, out to sea. I loved too the walk over the old bridge into town - and many other walks easily accessible from the flat. And thank you Graham for your friendliness and help. I hope to come back sometime!

- Rosie, November 2022

Many thanks for your kind words Rosie. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner
Bernd Juergen October 2022

“Wunderbares, geschmackvoll und vollständig eingerichtetes Appartment mit beeindruckender Aussicht auf den Hafen und die Stadt Berwick.”

We really enjoyed our stay at 5 Mill Wharf. Everything was perfect, starting with the welcome package (including a bottle of Prosecco), the complete and tasteful equipped apartment and the impressive views. Berwick and its attractions are easy to reach and Berwick itself is a perfect starting point for trips into the surroundings. Many thanks again to Graham for the hospitality and a big recommandation for 5 Mill Wharf!

- Bernd Juergen, October 2022

Danke Bernd Delighted you found everything to your liking at number 5 I'm also enjoying the Kirsch Wasser you left us,delicious. Hope to see you again on one of your frequent trips across to the UK. Prost! Graham Property Owner

“This apartment delivers everything you need for a comfortable and homely vacation.”

It’s close to town and the view from the window is spectacular. Graham and his wife were there if you needed them and we can’t thank them enough for helping us out when our car wouldn’t start on departure day. Would definitely stay again and will recommend it to anyone.

“This apartment is so well located to explore Berwick town and it’s brilliant shops, bridges, seals, swans, dolphins, walks and it’s walls!”

So easy too to explore North Northumberland and beyond. The apartment is excellent, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The owner was really diligent and even “arranged” for three ships to be in port! Fascinating! …. Coming in Autumn also allowed us to watch the most fantastic dawns over the sea! We would love to return.

- Brenda, September 2022

Many thanks for all your positive comments,look forward to your return in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner

Comfortable, spacious and spotless and within an easy walk to all the local amenities. Lovely view over the dock from a beautiful picture window. We couldn’t fault it.

Sandra August 2022

“Gem of a place in excellent location.”

View from the picture window is outstanding. Graham was very welcoming and we appreciated the food supplies and prosecco. Only troubled the kettle and toaster but kitchen appeared well stocked if you needed more elaborate cooking! And plenty of glassware and crockery so not constantly washing up. Block is very quiet and parking secure. Sure the space appears a little tight but we managed to get a 7 seater in without too much trouble. Efficient and spacious shower. Comfortable bed. Wooden floor a little creaky but hardly a problem and probably due to the heatwave we were lucky to enjoy. A place we could happily have spent a lot more time in.

- Sandra, August 2022

Grateful thanks for your kind review,hope to see you again in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner
Stephen July 2022

We can highly recommend this apartment. The view from the big window overlooking Tweed Dock and the harbour is fascinating and ever-changing.

The flat was absolutely all we needed - spacious, modern, clean, very comfortable in every respect, with fab views over the harbour across to Berwick. It was lovely to meet Graham who provided us with a well stocked welcome pack and made us feel at home. I would highly recommend this flat and we will return ourselves.

Stuart May 2022

“This apartment is really fabulous it is very clean & spacious and has everything that you could need for a self catering holiday, it is also very nice & quiet, the only thing missing is a full sized ironing board as the tiny table top one is really not good to use for long items!”

(if you do read this Graham 2 Ikea easy chairs would be absolutely brilliant in the big window bottom) We used to move the arm chair and small wicker chair into the window bottom but 2 of the mentioned Ikea chairs would make this apartment PERFECT. The apartment has amazing views over the harbour, town & out to sea. The shower was really great with good pressure. Bedroom was also very comfy with plenty of space & storage. The owner Graham was lovely and very knowledgeable. The apartment has its own private parking space within a gated area, your parking space is a tad tight as you have to park in between 2 metal pillars but my Husband had no trouble at all in our Golf by folding the mirrors in, it is such a bonus to have your own parking space. We have enjoyed staying in this apartment that much that we have already rebooked it for 2023. 5 Mill Wharf is a Really GORGEOUS apartment.

- Stuart, May 2022

Many thanks Julie for all your kind words,it's really appreciated. Great idea for Ikea chairs in window,will get on it ! Look forward to seeing you again on your return next year. Regards Graham Property Owner

“Lovely holiday apartment equipped with everything for a very comfortable stay, including a tray of goodies to start us off - milk, butter, tea, coffee, bread rolls, etc.”

The view over the harbour to Berwick walls is great, especially at breakfast time when the sun is streaming in from the east. (The apartment faces north.) The apartment is very convenient for Berwick centre ( just over the old bridge) and for local store, eating places and exploring the area. Graham is a great host and always willing to answer questions about the area. We fully intend to go back as we were too early in the season for many places to be open.

- Susan, March 2022

Hi Susan Many thanks for your kind words,think picture window faces East North East which explains stunning sunrises particularly at this time of year. Strangely Berwick sits more or less on same latitude as Copenhagen & even Moscow to the distant east. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. Regards Graham Property Owner
David March 2022

“An ideal location to explore Berwick and both the Northumberland Coast and Scottish Border.”

Anthony Barry February 2022

“The property was nice and clean and although we stayed there in February the apartment was very warm.”

The kitchen was well stocked but there was little space left in the cupboards for our food. The only criticism that we have is the size of the pans. There are just three small pans.

- Anthony Barry, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback Regards Graham Property Owner

“We cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough and we certainly plan to re-visit.”

The apartment had fantastic views, every thing was in place for us and the hosts had considered every comfort and went above and beyond in respect of the provisions that were left for us with some lovely touches. We had a very slight problem with heating which was sorted out immediately and to our complete satisfaction. Definitely worth a visit as it was great value and the host could not have been more helpful.

- Catherine, October 2021

Paula September 2021

“Had a lovely time at 5 Mill Wharf in Berwick upon Tweed.”

Graham met us and showed us in to the lovely place. He also went out of his way and also showed us which way to go into Berwick and Spittal. The place itself was just like home from home with everything you could possibly need for a nice chilled out stay. Plenty of kitchen equipment if you should want to cook yourself or a few recommended places to book (in the yellow folder) if you wanted to go out and eat. It was a very relaxing and cosy apartment with a very comfortable king size bed. We would highly recommend you booking with Sykes Cottages and totally stay here.

- Paula, September 2021
Neil August 2021

“Graham Bell was very helpful and accommodating and we both felt that everything was absolutely spot on.”

Colin August 2021

“The apartment was very well situated and was clean and tidy.”

It was the small things that were missing, eg no egg cups, no kitcehn towels only two saucepans. The bed was extremely comfortable as was the sofa in the sitting room. We liked the apartment and would book again.

- Colin, August 2021
Victoria July 2021

“5 Mill Wharf is a beautiful apartment in a stunning location.”

Graham is a very friendly host, who met us on arrival & when we were leaving, as well as being in contact before & during the holiday. He had some great advice & suggestions about local places to eat & things to do - the local sunset cruise is a must! There were bonus items of food & drink in the apartment (which we weren't expecting) and the privacy felt very secure during our stay, which was really lovely. Would definitely recommend using Sykes Cottages & booking this apartment to anyone visiting the area.

- Victoria, July 2021
Mary-ann July 2021

“The apartment was in a great location to explore the town and also Spittal beach.”

“Excellent location for walking into Berwick and the coastal paths north and south, or driving into Scotland or Northumberland.”

The apartment does look over the Tweed to the walls of Berwick, with swans gliding in and out of the quay. However, it also overlooks a busy working wharf, resulting in a lot of haulage trucks coming and going. A lovely apartment though, in a beautiful area.

“Well located and within easy walking distance of Berwick town centre and Spittal beach.”

The apartment has lovely views over the harbour. It has everything you need and more! The welcome pack of goodies was amazing and so thoughtful. Nothing was too much trouble. If we return to Berwick, we would certainly stay here again.

“This comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated flat was the perfect place to explore Berwick upon Tweed.”

Graham was wonderfully welcoming and the hospitality tray was much appreciated. It was a short walk over the bridge to the restaurants, we recommend the Queens Head and Limoncellos. If you fancy staying in there is a Marks and Spencer food hall in walking distance and you can simply sit at your table and look out on the River/sea while eating. There is so much to see and do Paxton House is a must and of course the coastline is gorgeous. We can’t recommend this flat highly enough.

“With a stunning view over the docks, it was an ideal location to explore Berwick and the surrounding area.”

The accomodation was very well equipped and included a private parking space. Handy for local shops and take aways and just 45 mins away from Edinburgh by train.

“The views of the light in the harbour can be stunning both morning and evening.”

The 'treats' on arrival were very generous. It was a very good base for exploring both Berwick and the coast for a few days. The bed, especially, was very comfortable. Everywhere was was very clean. Thank you.

The property

This new to market, contemporary second-floor apartment, 5 Mill Wharf, is the ideal Berwick base for visiting both local and surrounding attractions on the Northumberland and Berwickshire coast. Centrally located in the area of Tweedmouth on the south bank of the River Tweed, East facing 5 Mill Wharf enjoys fabulous, uninterrupted views of the town, tidal estuary, out to the Lighthouse and sea from the large picture window, and offers the perfect choice for a couple's romantic break, receiving the sun throughout the morning. Enter into this recently refurbished, contemporary and stylish apartment and find a bright and spacious open-plan living space to relax in when you're not out and about in Berwick, with a sleek kitchen space complete with appliances and a handy washing machine. Cook up a romantic meal for your other half with Siemens oven and hob and serve it up at the intimate dining table for two as the last of the sun's light enters through the feature window adding a beautiful ambiance. End your evening by snuggling up on the functional sofa and enjoying a film on the flat screen TV before heading to sleep in the elegant bedroom where a king-size bed awaits along with fabulous fitted wardrobes. Freshen up in the lovely shower room, complete with a large shower enclosure and a heated towel rail to keep you warm. Watch the sunrise out of the large picture window, keeping your eyes peeled to spot any swans and seals in the nearby harbour or dolphins further out to sea. The bustling town centre of Berwick-upon-Tweed is just a gentle stroll away over the 400-year-old bridge, Old Bridge, arriving onto Bridge Street where you can find a throng of restaurants, pubs and quirky independent shops. Situated yards from the northern end of the Northumberland Coastal Path, this apartment is perfect for a couple seeking walking and cycling and golfing opportunities, with the town's Elizabethan walls providing another great promenade to soak up the historic scenery. Venture south along the Northumberland coastline to find historic castles at Alnwick, Bamburgh and Holy Island, the latter only accessible by the causeway at low tide and home to an ancient priory, cafés and pubs. More spectacular walks can be enjoyed by heading west into the Cheviot Hills at the end of the Pennine Way, passing through the picture-perfect villages of Ford and Etal. Travel 3 miles over the border into Scotland to visit the quaint fishing villages of Burnmouth and St Abbs, as well as the town of Eyemouth, home to Eyemouth Golf Club, Eyemouth Museum and Eyemouth beach. For those seeking a city visit, East Coast Mainline trains can whisk you away to Edinburgh or Newcastle in around an hour. A must do is a trip on Berwick Boat Trips out into the estuary past Berwick Pier where you can also enjoy a leisurely stroll. You will see seals basking as well as other wildlife and a real chance of spotting passing dolphins. Berwick is also the ideal base for heading south down the coast to visit the historic castle and priory on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne accessible only at low tide. Slightly further south is the stunning Bamburgh Castle used regularly by film companies and the picture perfect fishing village of Beadnell. Spend quality time with your partner in this beautiful Northumberland town at 5 Mill Wharf.
