The border town of Berwick upon Tweed lies three miles south of the Anglo-Scottish Border on the River Tweed Estuary. It lies in between Edinburgh, 60 miles to the north and Newcastle upon Tyne, 60 miles to the south. If you’re driving, the town is bypassed by the A1. Berwick upon Tweed lies on the East Coast rail line and can be reached in four hours from London, two hours from York and less than one hour from either Newcastle or Edinburgh.   I’ve listed the Berwick upon Tweed hotels by how close they are to the town centre.

Berwick upon Tweed

The Queens Head Hotel lies close to the town walls and the riverside and on street parking. It’s a small hotel with 6 ensuite bedrooms which all have wifi free of charge.

The hotel achieves 85% in guest ratings, based on the average of two unverified review sites.

The Berwick upon Tweed Travelodge is situated in the far north of the town close to the A1 roundabout.  It’s next to McDonalds (handy for free wifi and a cheap breakfast) and Morrisons supermarket.  It takes around 20 minutes to walk into the town centre but maybe longer to get back as it’s slightly uphill.

The Travelodge may well be the cheapest Berwick upon Tweed hotel if you book well in advance and outwith peak season you can find rooms from £19 a night (room only) on the saver rate and family rooms sleep up to 2 adults and 2 kids.

Marshall Meadows Hotel, the most northerly hotel in England, lies a couple of miles north of Berwick upon Tweed down a driveway off the main A1 dual carriageway. You can access the North Sea coastal path from near the hotel.  You’d really need a car to stay here.  The hotel has a selection of types of rooms including premier rooms, a suite and a family room.  There’s free wifi in all rooms.

I had Sunday lunch here a couple of years ago and the food was excellent and good value.  The Marshall Meadows receives an average guest rating of 82% from 114 verified guest reviews.
