Perfect Cottage, Great location.

Great cottage, no suprises was exactly like the photos, so lovely, clean and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Jacqui had left us a welcome basket which was very thoughtful, she popped by to see us too which was unexpected but lovely to meet her. Irs in a great area to visit Berwick which we loved and all the surrounding areas including the scottish borders. Bed was comfy, kitchen well equipped, garden private. We had a peaceful stay and would highly reccomend!

As good as it looks.

We enjoyed our stay at Mona’s Cottage. It was apparent that the property manager, Jacqueline, had considered the needs of guests, with everything needed for a self-catering stay provided and a generous welcome pack with tasty local produce provided too. We quickly settled in and felt comfortable - almost like being at home. The location was perfect for visiting the local area. We would stay here again.

Great cottage near the Scottish border

This cottage provides everything to spend a great holiday time. Very well situated near the Scottish border, 5 minutes by car from the sea and a wonderful beach, very quiet and comfortable and well-equiped. The quite big garden is lovely. Many places to visit around in England as well as in Scotland. Communication with Jacqui was very easy and she will always help if needed. We will certainly return if spending holidays again in this region.

Perfection!

We are two mature bikers and the cottage provided secure parking for our 'boy's toys'! The cottage was spotless and absolutely beautiful with everything anyone would need for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal for exploring both sides of the border, and the neighbours were very helpful and friendly. WiFi and phone reception was excellent and streaming channels were available on the TV. There was a lovely welcome pack, and all cleaning products were provided. The beds and lovely bedding ensured a god night's sleep. In fact we can't praise Mona's Cottage highly enough and we are are already planning our next year's visit. We can't wait!

Comfy quiet cottage

The cottage was clean and comfortable with a lovely garden. It was well equipped. The shower was over a deep bath and a bit difficult to climb in and out for someone with slight mobility issues, but plenty of hot water. The cottage is ideally placed for exploring Berwick on Tweed, Lindisfarne, north Northumberland and the Borders and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jacqui was most helpful at all times.

Nice cottage near Northumberland coast

This cottage is quite near to Berwick-upon-Tweed and close to the stunning coast. Parking OK. Confusion on check in time, due to Vrbo I believe so we arrived when the owner was still cleaning. It was very clean and reasonably well equipped. We found the fridge to be rather small, even though there was only two of us. Storage in the kitchen was limited. The lounge was comfortable and the tv had Freeview and Netflix. Found the sound on it was poor though. Bedrooms were bright and pleasant with good bedding. The bathroom was small and being on the ground floor did cause us an issue, being elderly and needing to get up in the night!! Garden was nice although a parasol is useless if you don't have a base!! Just falls over!! Overall it was an enjoyable stay.

Excellent cottage

We loved our stay at Mona's Cottage. The owner is very helpful and amenable and the cottage is well-equipped, very comfortable and handily located just off the A1. There is a lovely garden with outdoor furniture and a BBQ, although we didn't use these, but a summer let here would be great to take advantage of the garden. Here is also wi-fi and Netflix. We didn't see that the bathroom was downstairs before booking, which could have been our fault. This wasn't a problem and it is very nice but the electric shower has low water pressure. Good access to the sights of Northumberland and there is an Asda and M&S Foodhall not far away. Marshall's cafe is within walking distance (next to Go Outdoors) where you can get a very good breakfast until 2pm! The cottage is also right by the coast route bus stop if you don't want to drive around the area. The only downside is there are no amenities in the village. Having said that, we would most certainly stay again.

Comfortable stay in excellent location

Well equipped and very comfortable. The welcome basket was very generous. Comfortable beds, with plenty of storage. Good CH. Contact with the host, Jacqui, excellent. A couple of minor 'down' issues : Household provision random = lots of some cleaning items, but no bleach, scourer, limited kitchen roll, no scrubbing brush. (Accept that this is self-catering but clearer information for arrival needed) Key box access very temperamental - difficult to operate which a real problem after an 8 hour journey; also on leaving. System needs repalcing.

Lovely cottage in nice location

We had a really lovely time at Mona's cottage. The cottage was extremely clean and in a good location for visiting Berwick Upon Tweed and many tourist sights and beaches. There are several grocery stores nearby which is really convenient. The cottage is well equipped and the beds are really comfortable. There is a huge backyard and the area is really quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Jacqui McCoy

Host profile image
Originally from a little bit down the coast in Warkworth, I've lived on the Northumbrian Coast all my life. I came up to Berwick on a lovely summer evening and thought it would be a nice place to live.
The Cottage came up for sale and I fell in love with it, a bit dilapidated but my partner is a builder and has done a wonderful job restoring it. We loved it so much we bought the house next door as well, which is also a holiday cottage. Lizzies Cottage.

Why they chose this property

Mona's Cottage is a traditional Stone Cottage with its many features preserved, a lovely sunny aspect. In a rural location yet not that far from the main A1, the lovely clean beaches at Cocklawburn and all the amenities Berwick has to offer.
The area around Berwick upon Tweed is packed full of history, picturesque places to visit and beautiful sandy beaches stretching for miles.
An ideal base for exploring Northumbria and the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh is only an hour away by car and 40 minutes by train (a wonderful train journey up the coast), there is also a bus stop 50 yards away if you don't wish to drive, taking you into Berwick or further down the coast. On a double deck bus the views are magnificent. There are many country and coastal walks and cycle tracks, it is ideal for families or a romantic trip away.
The garden gets the sun most of the day and is a wonderful sun trap to relax in and dine alfresco.

What makes this property unique

Mona's is cool in summer and warm in winter, we face south so you get the sun most of the day, the garden is quiet, private and surrounded by trees and shrubs. Decorated in throughout in warm whites to give guests a light filled calm interior to give a relaxing atmosphere.
