Marlborough Cottage lies on the south side of the River Tweed in Spittal village, enjoying a commanding view of the Tweed estuary and Berwick Bay.   It is within yards of the promenade and beach, and a few minutes drive or a leisurely walk from Berwick town centre.

It is the architect-designed conversion of what was originally the housekeeper’s rooms attached to Marlborough House – an early Victorian townhouse - with a lounge extension added to take advantage of the stunning views, and fitted out and furnished to a demanding standard.

There is one double bedroom, equipped with a wall-mounted LCD TV, and one triple, which has a full double bed with a full single bunk above. The large shower-room has a double-size cubicle, and the fully-fitted walk-through kitchen incorporates a washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, built-in oven and halogen hob unit and microwave oven; this leads through to the lounge/diningroom which has a six-place dining suite, leather double sofabed, two leather easy chairs with footstools and a 32” wide-screen TV and DVD player.

Freshly-laundered bedding and towels (excluding beach towels) are provided, electricity and gas central-heating are included in the rental, subject to fair usage; for rentals longer than one week, a bedding and towel change are available each Saturday, together with a cottage ‘freshen-up’.

The cottage is laid out on one level and has ramped access; off-road parking is provided on our own land adjacent to the cottage. There is ample outside seating and a large garden at the front of the house which guests are welcome to use to relax in. Laidlaw’s convenience store, in the village, carries most basic grocery needs, plus rolls and pies baked on the premises, newspapers and a selection of magazines.  There are a filling station and Co-op superstore in Tweedmouth and a street market in the town centre on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The local town bus service stops immediately outside on the Main Street, and if you are arriving by train or coach: there are numerous local taxi operators covering the area into the late evening/early hours of the morning – booking is advisable, especially at weekends.

Marlborough Cottage will sleep up to five, or a maximum of seven utilising the option of the double sofabed in the lounge, and is available to rent on a weekly basis Saturday to Saturday throughout the year (other start/finish days may be available);  midweek and weekend breaks are also available by arrangement.

Marlborough Cottage is fully non-smoking and pets are not accepted.
