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.... More

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... More

My room was decorated with lots of nice individual touches that made it feel much more homely than your average dorm room. The... More

Stayed in room 4 and it was very comfortable, can't comment on other rooms. The self catering kitchen was good but there could be a problem if a few people tried to use it all at the one time. Had one of the best Indian meals ever at the Villa Spice Indian Restaurant in the town. All in all a... More
