    "We had a lovely stay at Iona."

    Thank you for the parking permit. The house is lovely and large and we had plenty of room. It had everything we needed (we did run out of coffee but bought some locally). It was perfectly placed for the shops, places to visit, and restaurants/cafes. Thank you for letting us stay.

    Dear Rebecca Thank-you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted that you had a great holiday in Iona and that you found the house lovely and large and it had everything you required. We are glad you found the location perfect for shops, places to visit and both restaurants and cafes. We hope you will return in the future to explore and discover further what Berwick and beautiful Northumbria has to offer. Peter and Maureen Property Owner
