West Ord is a rural location, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. However, the market town of Berwick is only ten minutes away. There is even a bus service from the end of the road. Beyond the immediate area are the Borders, the beaches and Edinburgh to the north. Edinburgh is best visited by train. We found the journey to be quick, direct into the city and managed to get some excellent prices with the help of the booking office in Berwick.

A comfortable, peaceful retreat with everything you could need. Not far from the amenities of Berwick.
Absolutely excellent location both to stay at and also explore the surrounding areas. We have stayed here a number of times and every holiday has gone far too quickly. The fact that their are no neighbours and you are much closer to nature make this a perfect spot for relaxing. Carol Lang, Sandy and Jim are the easiest people to deal with and they do all they can to make you stay as comfortable as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay at south Bells to anyone, you will not be disappointed and if you do go please say hello to the otters for us.

Spent a fantastic week in Till Cottage. Location is great for exploring Northumberland and Scotland. The cottage itself has everything you need - clean, comfy and very spacious for a family of four plus dog. Would definitely recommend and hope to return again.

The property was perfect for two people but maybe a little cramped for us as a family with two large teenage boys. Myself and my husband would definitely return as a couple. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating and overall we had a great time.
