“The Kings Arms has a surprisingly stylish cocktail bar for Berwick, and its Italian restaurant, Amore, makes al fresco dining a real draw; plus, I noticed how cheery and helpful the staff were, a definite plus. With its history and proximity to coastal attractions, I think this hotel has a lot going for it, especially for leisure travellers. It feels both central and welcoming.”
