Company information

We are Ian and Ruth and we have two children Brodie and Jasmine. We moved to Berwick-Upon-Tweed during Christmas of 2018 to take over Whyteside House Bed and Breakfast. Previously we were another couple in the busy South of England, doing well in our respective jobs but often feeling that we were missing out on a lot of our other interests. After a little debate we decided to open a bed and breakfast. We looked at a few in Scotland, Ruth grew up in Edinburgh, but during a day trip to Berwick-Upon-Tweed were totally charmed with the town and what it had to offer. It is a fantastic location, suitable for our various watersports, outdoor adventure and running interests. Now we would like to welcome others into a piece of our world and to share the fantastic area that we now live in.
