CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Tweedmouth House is one of 93 care homes in Northumberland: a 55-bed nursing home in Berwick Upon Tweed, run by Mr & Mrs C Thomlinson. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. The typical home in Northumberland has 36 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2025. 95% of homes in Northumberland also score 5. In Northumberland, 91% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In December 2022, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in June 2022.
