Bed and Breakfast Description |
| |
|
Christine & Tony Barton are justly proud of their comfortable 170 year old stone built house and particularly enjoy welcoming and looking after their guests, many of them regulars, who return again and again to sample the peace and beauty of the area, the generous hospitality. Although all the non-smoking bedrooms are individually furnished to a high standard, creating a comfortable, homely feel, a feature of Meadow Hill is the two ground floor disabled suites. Christine & Tony were keenly aware of the lack of facilities in the Berwick area for the disabled traveller and consequently now have what is arguably the best accommodation around.
Their two suites have been knowledgably fitted with every convenience: the first room is twin bedded with a large dressing room and shower room, the second room is ideal as a family room and has a double and two single beds, screened from each other for privacy if required.Both rooms have plenty of space to manoeuvre, level access showers, support rails, lower/higher level furniture where appropriate and of course, easy access to dining room and outside to private car park (1:12 ramp) and gardens. All rooms are en-suite with tea and coffee making facilities, biscuits, colour television and heated towel rails. Hair dryers and Irons are available if required.
Families with children are catered for (cots available) and made very welcome at Meadow Hill and while there is a well-maintained garden for them to play in, there are also other interests in the immediate locality, including supervised activities at Berwick's sport and swimming centre, an adventure playground, activities and events at splendid, Adam-built Paxton House, Chain Bridge Honey Farm where children can observe a working, glass-sided bee hive or follow and enjoy the animals on the Conundrum Farm Trail. |

Berwick-upon-Tweed Attractions |
| |
No other region of England has so many Castles and fortified homes, where Kings and powerful families once lived. Within a few miles of Meadow Hill you can visit at least six castles to discover, yourself, the often bloody and violent history of the area. The English and Scots fought fiercely for control of Berwick upon Tweed over the centuries, with ownership changing hands thirteen times until it fell to the English in 1482.
Today, Berwick belies its stormy past with a friendly, bustling atmosphere, interesting small shops, cafés and restaurants. A fascinating way of exploring the history of Berwick is with the town's qualified and knowledgeable guide, who will explain and show you the ruins of Berwick Castle, once part of the town's medieval defences that included 19 towers and 2½ miles of still intact, battlemented Elizabethan walls up to 35 feet high which encircle the town. At 8p.m. the curfew bell still rings out from the Town Hall, as it has since the gates of the town were locked every night.
Many visitors simply enjoy following pretty paths along the grand River Tweed looking for Kingfishers, Buzzards, Badgers or Otters among the varied wildlife which still inhabit this unspoilt area. Visiting local agricultural shows to view sheep-dog-trialing or watching the world go by while you have lunch outside a thatched pub are popular pastimes. For the more adventurous visitor there are various activities nearby, offering everything from a beach ride - galloping along the white deserted sands of Holy Island, to bird watching on and around the Farne islands, learning to rock climb, abseil or sea kayak. Alnwick Gardens is a must see, and its castle is famous recently because it appeared in the "Harry Potter" movies. |
