Without doubt the best vegan breakfasts I?ve had. Lots of choice, all of it good. I really loved the crumpets, but Karen will talk you through all the options & make fresh to order.
Should have taken more photos!
Lovely B&B overlooking the river Tweed a few minutes walk into Berwick.

Wonderful holiday at Loaf! Host Karen provides a warm welcome and plenty of local information to get you started in your Berwick/Tweedmouth explorations. The apartment has two double bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen area (no sink or stove/oven, but there?s a basin & dish detergent, mini-fridge, microwave, toaster and lots of crockery) and bathroom with a deep tub and a shower. Lots of vintage items throughout, many reference books and framed pictures, especially of the natural world, and many tourist brochures. Good WiFi. For breakfasts, guests have on hand the makings of hot drinks, bread, jam, marmalade, butter (everything vegan, of course) and plant milk. A warm breakfast is brought at a prearranged time. I enjoyed the four that I had, all attractively presented: warmed seasonal fruit with yogurt, breakfast pizza, multigrain porridge topped with fruit, and crumpet stack.
Loaf is located across the bridge, an easy walk from Berwick high street. Karen is a lovely host, the apartment is very comfortable, the breakfasts are delicious, and Berwick/Tweedmouth is a great place to visit, with riverside paths, walkable town walls, the LS Lowry Trail (artist, 1887-1976) and more.

I honestly can?t say enough great things about this stay.
As soon as we arrived Karen sat us down and gave us a very informative chat about the area, and all the great vegan spots near by. It is thanks to her that we found the vegan ice cream shop on Holy Island, which is absolutely incredible.
The place is incredibly peaceful and quiet.
Breakfasts served for us each morning, and wow, what how delicious they were.
Such a friendly place to stay. We were only here for 2 days, but we have already decided we will be back for a whole weeks stay when we can!
Absolute gem. And Karen is amazing.

What an amazing B&B. Great location, spacious and comfortable. Karen was a fantastic host and the 3 breakfast we had were so yummy. Loved the vintage shop and got a stunning dress for my nieces 21st.

I really think Karen has the blessings of Goddess Annapurna herself. Her food is like meditation. The apartment is truly a home away from home. Together with Mike they run the place with love for their guests and the planet.

This was an outstanding place to stay. Warm welcome and thorough orientation to the accommodation and local area. Beautiful decor (full of charm and character) and location (right by the River Tweed with lovely views across the old bridge to Berwick). Completely chemical-free so a real refuge for those with chemical sensitivities. Short and easy walk from the train station and into Berwick itself, with a great little wholefoods store and vegan-friendly cafes close by. Which brings me to the breakfasts. Oh my goodness. What to say? Clearly lovingly prepared. Fresh. Seasonal. Organic. Delicious. Nutritious. Lots of choice. And Karen was so flexible with my food sensitivities - making special dishes for me each day and always checking in with me to make sure I would be okay with what she was preparing. She even went the extra mile and prepared me a sumptuous lunch so I could eat on the train on my way home as I struggle to find workable options when I'm on the move. And although I struggle to be vegan in my day-to-day life because of the allergies and intolerances I currently have to numerous plant-based foods, staying at Loaf has added extra inspiration for me to be as plant-based as possible, and to hopefully be able to move towards a completely plant-based diet in time. Heartfelt thanks to Karen and big thumbs up for Loaf!

Had a lovely time staying here. Lovely host, breakfast and town. The bnb is right by the river and you can get straight into the centre of town walking over the bridge.

Can't believe I haven't reviewed Loaf yet! Hands down our favourite vegan B&B to stay, and even better since the move to the new venue. Cakes on arrival... walks by the river... super comfy apartment to ourselves with a great bed and perfect bath facilities... the most incredible breakfasts made with garden-grown produce (zero air miles)... Imagine the most amazing, chilled out, relaxed break to detox from the busy world - this is it! Highly recommended.

Lovely location in perfect central Berwick-upon-Tweed, with beautiful views from the garden. We were within easy walking distance of the town and close to shops and supermarkets etc. The views were gorgeous. Breakfasts were lovely too. Highly recommend.
