Unwind in the evenings with the warmth of the lovely wood burner while watching your favourite movies on Smart TV. French doors lead to the south-facing patio garden to the front so you can enjoy spending time indoors and outside in the warmer months. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything the family cook will need to prepare a range of meals, with plenty of space for food and drinks in the tall fridge and an additional fridge/freezer in the utility room where you will also find the washing machine and back door. Sit at the kitchen island with a drink or breakfast and for more sociable meal times there is a large dining table and comfortable chairs. There is a downstairs WC off the utility room, perfect for when you are spending time in the rear garden, and a cupboard with coat hooks for hanging your outdoor clothing. At bedtime, head up the iron, open-tread staircase in the lounge to the first floor for the three well-appointed bedrooms, each with plenty of storage for your things. There is a king-size with a Smart TV, a twin bedroom with a comfortable chair, and a generous super-king-size with an en-suite shower room and WC. The spacious family bathroom has a freestanding bath for a relaxing soak in bubbles, a separate refreshing shower, and WC.

Outside there are two gardens, to the front, there is a south-facing patio garden with garden furniture accessible from French doors in the lounge, and to the rear, there is an enclosed garden with trees forming a small wooded area with wildflowers, perfect for games of hide and seek for children and dogs. Enjoy alfresco dining sitting on the garden furniture. Relax with a morning coffee to watch the visiting birds and in the evening, gaze up at the dark, super-starry sky.

The property was lovely and spacious. The dogs did enjoy the enclosed gardens. The kitchen had plenty of appliances if you chose to eat in. Lots of public footpaths in the area if you like to explore by walking but a lot weren't suitable for us as our dogs are not designed for stiles. Lovely beaches within a short drive though.

The Long Barn was just beautiful and spotless on our arrival. The welcome pack of biscuits, tea and coffee were a nice touch. It was spacious, and cosy at the same time. A perfect base for our stay. It was so private and quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was well equipped. Loads of storage, crockery and cutlery. In the bathrooms, Plenty of toilRead moreet rolls, hand soaps and towels provided. A washing machine, pegs and an outside line was brilliant. TV worked fine, radio was great as was Wi-Fi not that we needed it. Lovely seating in both front and back garden and a pets at home shop down the road for bird seed! Though be prepared, 4 of mealworms were gone in 30 minutes! Was wonderful to watch all the birds. I actually pottered about one morning before everyone got up in the early sunshine and dead headed the geraniums and watered them and refilled the birdbath then sat with a brew on the comfy chairs and enjoyed the tranquility! Berwick upon Tweed is not far in the car and you pass an M&S food and an Asda on the way! We ate at the Popping Chicken cafe which is near - great service and very dog friendly. The Sunday lunch was delicious. Fish and chips in the Hook Cafe in Seahouses were top notch and again dogs were welcomed in. Already planning a return stay and have recommended it to friends. Cocklawburnbeach is wonderful and clean. Car parking is on the road and was really busy when we went BUT the beach did not feel crowded and we had a wonderful time with the dogs there. Its our favourite parT of the UK to visit and Long Barn was one of the best places we stayed. 5 adults, a 4 month old baby and 2 springer spaniels give it 10/10 ! Hide

This is an excellent property enough room for 6 comfortably - though I noted a pull out under one if the twin beds so maybe a 3rd child in that room is possible too . Comfortable seating area and wood burner - with a full weeks supply of logs in the shed - we used it every day , Great kitchen area with enough pots pans and cutlery etc , we appreciRead moreated the welcome pack of tea and coffee. The beds were very comfortable we slept well . It benefits from 2 heating zones which meant we could keep upstairs cool for sleeping. Both front and rear gardens are private and fenced the bird feeders were well attended and we topped them up over the week . Easy parking for 2 vehicles was appreciated . The very new leisure centre in Berwick is under 5 minutes drive and with a main pool , kids pool , water slide/play zone and soft play is great for a family visit or you are just wanting to keep it - we used it most days . Exploring the walls and some quirky shops and various eateries was worthwhile . The walk to the pier end was excellent . In terms of the location the property is located between the main A1 and the East Coast main rail line so with windows open you can expect some back ground noise - with then shut we didnt notice it . We came back from the week fully refreshed . We will certainly be revisiting this property Hide

Had a 3 night stay (6 adults and 2 dogs), accommodation was very comfortable and the open plan living made it a very sociable occasion. The gardens were nice and secure, meaning dogs could be let out safely. Lovely quiet location within a short drive to lovely beaches.

The reason l have only given a 4 score for equipment at property was because the shower door in the main bathroom was not safe because it kept coming off the runners. Also the integrated fridge didnt seem to close properly, our milk didnt stay fresh even though it was well within the date. Otherwise a lovely property.
