Brilliant guest house!
We stayed at Cowrie guest House for 3 nights. Ruth and Ian were very welcoming. Our room was lovely and very comfortable, we had everything we needed. The house itself is beautiful and very nicely decorated. Breakfast was amazing! As well as the usual cooked breakfast there was a special to choose from every day as an alternative. I had scrambled eggs on a croissant one day and french toast with bacon and blueberries on other days. All delicious! We would not hesitate to stay here again if back in Berwick.

The Cowrie Guest House is *the* place to stay if you're visiting Berwick. Ian and Ruth are terrific hosts. They're incredibly friendly and accomodating people. I left early for a hike one morning and they prepared a take away breakfast for me separate from what they normally prepared for breakfast. The house is beautiful, clean, and cozy. It is also easily accessible to the train station and walkable to the rest of Berwick. Ruth also has a business crafting beautiful sea glass jewelry--definitely worth a look. I'll certainly look to be staying with Ian and Ruth the next time I'm in Berwick.

Having travelled by train the location was ideal being only a couple of minutes walk away. Ian and Ruth the owners are very welcoming and provide a wonderful breakfast selection. The room was extremely comfortable and conducive to a good night's sleep after exploring the town and surrounding area.

Just what a guest house should be.
Just what a guest house should be. Very comfortable room with a great en suite shower room. Spotlessly clean. Fantastic breakfast cooked to order using quality local ingredients. Many thanks to Ruth and Ian for being such great hosts. Hope to see you again soon.
