The Old Church, Horncliffe

A truly unique B&B experience.
5 Star, Gold Award plus Breakfast Award.

A stunning Church conversion in a small village near Berwick-upon-Tweed. Just across the river from Scotland!

It is very quiet here, an ideal base for exploring rural and coastal North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

We have 3 en-suite rooms, all with superkingsize beds (can be twin), flatscreen TV, blu-ray dvd player, ipod dock, bathrobes, slippers etc etc.

We are close to the A1, about 60 miles from both Edinburgh and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Both cities are about 40 mins from Berwick by train - and no parking!

This is a land of outstanding natural beauty with a turbulent and very violent history

Northumberland has over 60 conservation areas and more castles than any other county

Horncliffe is less than 4 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed
(the most northerly town in England) and 8 miles from Lindisfarne (Holy Island)

It is 2 miles from the A1, which gives access to coastal routes into both
Northumberland and the Scottish Borders

Edinburgh and Newcastle are both about 60 miles away on the A1
or 40-45 minutes by train from Berwick - and no parking!

There are footpaths along both banks of the River Tweed, to Berwick on the coast and inland to the village of Norham.

These river banks are home to a diverse selection of wildlife, it is possible to see deer, seals, otters and red squirrels as well as a variety of wild birds. Less than a mile from the village is the Union Chain Bridge

Opened in 1820, this wobbly suspension bridge links England and Scotland. On the English side of the bridge is the Chain bridge Honey farm. Free to enter, the Honey farm has anexhibition, visitor centre and shop.

There is also a cafe in a former London double-decker bus.

From the other side of the bridge it is possible to walk into the grounds of Paxton House.

These grounds and gardens extend over 80 acres. The 18th century Adam country house hosts a number of exhibitions, including world class paintings loaned by National Galleries of Scotland
