5 star Self Catering Berwick

Composers at WoodlandThe site of the luxury 5 star self catering holiday properties was originally an old colliery yard building which closed in the mid 1900’s after fifty five years as employer to many people of the Scremerston community. The colliery building was sold and re-opened as a service garage for cars and agricultural vehicles. In 1996 a bungalow was also built on the site.

InteriorFollowing re-routing of the A1, the once busy road in front of 'Composers' became a minor access road to the local Cocklawburn Beach and returned the area to a peaceful and tranquil location, surrounded mainly by woods and farm fields.

DemolitionIn 2000, a new owner set about landscaping some of the meadow and surrounding areas, whilst reinstating the stone walls of the main drive. In September 2004, the present owners, Dee and Martin Colam, purchased the site, continued developing the estate and gained planning permission to build individually designed, holiday properties and a full timbered Reception and Office.

New FoundationsEach property pays homage to well known composers, namely Elgar, Vivaldi, Bernstein and Chopin, all given a different feel through the subtle use of materials, colours, decoration, fixtures, fittings and furnishing.

At the heart of 'Composers' is the passion of its owners to create something unique and very special for their guests. A destination where visitors quickly feel at ease be it for a weekend break, a longer midweek stay or a full holiday.

Part BuildOpened in April 2006, the 'Composers' project now offers guests the ideal place in which to relax and take advantage of luxurious holiday facilities whilst enjoying the beauty of the surrounding coastline and countryside of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.
