A classic British B&B of the best traditions. One feels like Margaret has truly welcomed you into her home. As mentioned previously she is a delightful host, imparting the sense that you are more than just customers. The house itself is a little old fashioned but despite this the room was large, warm and pleasant. There were tea making facilities... More

Having just read your review we're delighted you had such a positive experience and felt so welcome in our home. That is just what we want to achieve; we don't claim, or even want, to be like a hotel, but aim to offer the sort of break that we'd give our best friends. We'd love it if you chose to... More

I am writing this, sitting with my cup of tea, having just finished breakfast, overlooking he river and the bridges of Berwick, out of the window. Our hosts a very friendly indeed and helpful on all aspects of your stay in the town. A short but pleasant stroll along the river bank takes you from the house to Beriwck town... More

Booked at short notice to stay in the twin room with my son as he is relocating to Berwick upon Tweed to start a new job and was up house hunting. Margaret was a wonderful host and nothing was too much trouble for her. She made us so welcome, gave us information on Berwick and advice on where would be... More

Castle Vale House is a beautiful old house with great views of the town, bridges & the stunning river Tweed. The house is unfortunately a little run down & desperately needs some tlc. I was a little put off by the religious items in the room, I don't think they're appropriate for a B&B. The owner Margaret is warm &... More

Thank you for reviewing our B&B and making some good comments, particularly your optimistic 'it's a nice B&B that could be great'. We agree our style is definately old-fahioned, but feel this suits a house built in the 1850s. When we moved into Castle Vale 18 months ago it had been empty for some time and was sad and run-down.... More

My husband and I have just stayed for 2 nights at Castle Vale House. Margaret gives you a very warm welcome to her home and is a goldmine of information on the town and the surrounding area. We were accommodated in the Royal Border Bridge Room with an amazing view of the bridge and the river. It was lovely to... More

If you want to come to Berwick this is a great place to stay. Our room on the ground floor had an enormous window looking out at the river and the beautiful railway bridge. Berwick train station in fact is just up the road. It was while travelling on that very train line to Edinburgh that I first saw Berwick... More

We were a party of four travelling down from Edinburgh and found this lovely B & B thru the Tourist Information in Berwick (who were lovely too!!) last minute with 10 mins to go before they closed. We arrived at the B & B 15 minutes later to a lovely welcome and the rooms were more than confortable and very... More

Stayed here with my Dad after a 4 day camping tour of Northumberland. On arrival we were welcoming by the daughter of the house and it was a very warm welcome. We had arrived earlier than planned and our room wasn't ready but we were able to park the car and head into Berwick for some lunch and to explore.... More

Thank you for your comments. We're sorry you found it noisy during the afternoon when our teenagers were enjoying music upstairs, the grandchildren were playing happily outside and their uncle doing the weeding. I was busy with the laundry, not expecting guests to shower during the day. One of the attractions of a B&B is being able to stay in... More
