Located in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Scottish Borders, this remarkable cottage, known as The Lookout, offers an exceptional blend of historical significance and modern comfort. Constructed by the Admiralty between the 1740s and 50s as a lookout point for sea traffic, the cottage boasts breathtaking views of the River Tweed estuary, the charming town of Berwick, and the expansive North Sea. With its elevated position, The Lookout is perfect for couples and families seeking a serene seaside retreat, surrounded by the natural beauty of the area, including a thriving population of mute swans and returning otters.
The accommodation within The Lookout is both spacious and inviting, featuring two well-appointed bedrooms that can comfortably sleep four guests. The larger double bedroom includes a super king-size bed, convertible into a twin, while the second bedroom contains a double bed with an antique wardrobe. The family bathroom, centrally located, offers a full-length bath with a power shower.

The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, equipped with a Belfast sink and quarry-tiled flooring, making it an ideal gathering spot for family meals.

A small barbecue area and a shed for bicycle storage further enhance the outdoor experience, allowing guests to fully embrace the coastal lifestyle during their stay.
Beyond the cottage, a short 10-minute walk leads to Spittal Beach, known for its golden sands and Art Deco amusement pavilion. The historical center of Berwick-upon-Tweed is just a 15-minute stroll away, where visitors can explore the medieval bridge, Elizabethan walls, and a vibrant selection of shops, restaurants, and pubs. The surrounding area is rich in history, with notable sites such as the battlefields of Flodden and Halidon Hill, as well as the picturesque Lindisfarne and Holy Island, both easily accessible by car. For those looking to venture further, the East Coast mainline trains offer convenient access to Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne, making The Lookout an ideal destination for a memorable coastal getaway.
