Host & Stay | The Wasa Penthouse

Summary:
Located in the heart of Berwick-upon-Tweed, The Wasa Penthouse is a striking three bedroom apartment with plenty of style. Spanning the top floor of a recently converted 18th century chapel, this penthouse is bound to impress! Sleeping up to six guests, The Wasa Penthouse is perfect for coastal getaways with friends and seaside staycations with family.

The Space:
The Wasa Penthouse is named after an early 17th century Swedish warship which sank on its maiden voyage. It is now preserved and has become one of Sweden's most popular tourist attractions. Pronounced Vasa, the penthouse celebrates the links between Britain and Sweden where the apartment owners spend half the year in each country.

Inside the apartment, you’ll find an open plan kitchen, living and dining area. Sleek and modern, the kitchen has a range of soft-close units with granite worktops. Fully equipped for self-catering stays, the integrated appliances include a five-element induction hob, a double oven and microwave, a dishwasher and an American-style fridge-freezer.

The dining area and the living space both comfortably seat six making them perfect socialising and relaxing with your loved ones. You’ll find a smart TV, a blu-ray DVD player, DVDs and a library of fiction and non-fiction books in the living area so you can unwind during your stay.

The large master bedroom features a double bed, two double wardrobes, a smart TV, a sofa and a desk. The second bedroom is also a double and the third has twin single beds which can be linked to make a double.

All the rooms in The Wasa Penthouse benefit from incredible exposed beams. The Velux windows offer panoramic views over the old town of Berwick, across the River Tweed, and down the Northumberland coast to Lindisfarne and Bamburgh Castle.
