The place is situated in the middle of Berwick, entrance though a gate into a backyard. About 20 minutes walk from the train station. Nice and quiet. No reception area, you might find the owner or her "helpers" (students) in the kitchen. Make sure you let her know of your arrival time, otherwise she might not be present upon arrival. I traveled with a girlfriend, we had booked a double room with shared bathroom, but were upgraded to a room with private bathroom, no extra charge. The room was quite small, with beds for three persons, but we didn't mind the size at all, as it was nice and clean, good beds, and staff were very welcoming. Breakfast (which was included) was OK, but no more than that. Yet again, Berwick and the hostel was such a nice place with friendly people, nothing could spoil the nice time we had there. I am a 40+ traveler, and this was a very nice surprise compared to other backpacker places I have been to.

I booked Berwick Backpackers for a family get together on a budget and was not disappointed! the rooms were lovely and the setting is perfect for exploring the town. the facilities are just what you need - well equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms and lovely comfy bedrooms. i would totally recommend the hostel - and will be back hopefully to do a bit more of an active holiday and explore the lovely northumberland countryside.
thank you to angela and her staff for being so helpful and friendly and ensuring our weekend was one we will never forget!

I loved this place! I was travelling solo, off-peak, and ended up with no less than a dorm, two bathrooms, and the entire kitchen area all to myself. Everything was clean, tidy and welcoming, the one person I spoke too was friendly, and it's in a great spot for sightseeing. Hope I can stay at more places like this in the future. :)

Stayed at the "Backpackers" with 12 others whilst doing the coast to castles bike ride. Rang Angela as we approached Berwick, she promptly dropped everything to welcome us. Excellent rooms, very clean and tidy, secure bike storage , drying facility and can cater for a big group. Lovely , well equipped kitchen , full of food, that can fit the all group in and discuss the next days activities over a cuppa or a beer , whatever you choose! Slap bang central in Berwick, ideal for pubs and places to eat, if you choose to go out. Will probably do this again next year, definately recommended.
