| Formerly a flour mill overlooking the river Tweed this historic and interesting building is an award winning conversion of a granary which has in recent years been converted into elegant and quirky modern apartments. Old Mill Apartment is positioned on the first floor and provides excellent accommodation for couples. A lift gives easy access to its main entrance or via stairs if preferred. The open plan living space boasts amazing water views across this fascinating harbour and estuary towards the historic walled town of Berwick upon Tweed, which is within a mere gentle stroll of Old Mill Apartment. This is Tweedmouth, sitting on the south side of the elegant Georgian town of Berwick upon Tweed, where there are many facilities within walking distance. There is a wide array of restaurants, shops, tea rooms, a cinema/theatre and pubs and the Swan leisure centre offers indoor swimming close by. Paxton House and Country Park is set in 80 acres of gardens, woodland and park land as well as a mile stretch of the River Tweed and has a fishing museum and two wildlife viewing hides, one by the river and one in the woodland where you may spot a red squirrel or over sixty species of birds; a popular visitor attraction around 5 miles away. Or take a short drive to visit the tidal island of Lindisfarne, often known as Holy Island and the birth place of Christianity. Access onto the island is via a causeway which is swept by the North Sea but safe to cross twice daily. Old Mill Apartment makes an excellent base to explore this coastal and river location with excellent beach walks right on the doorstep. Travel 45 minutes by train north to Edinburgh or south to Netoiletastle to sample the global cultural pursuits on offer; the railway station is only a mile from Old Mill Apartment. This unique location is England's borderland; often described as the 'secret kingdom' and provides an excellent base for touring Northumberland and the Scottish Borders alike. It is contained to the west by the wild, lonely beauty of the Cheviot Hills and Northumberland National Park; and to the east by its magnificent Heritage coastline, acknowledged as a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. |
