Lovely property, in excellent conditions and with plenty of amenities. The location is close to the beach, golf course, shops and restaurants, all within a few minute’s walk. The rooms are spacious and the view out of the big bay window is endlessly changing. Edinburgh is also an easy train ride away, with the station close by. We stayed as a family of 5, and it worked well for us.

Joanna & Andrew love North Berwick , its beaches and golf. Andrew spent his happy childhood holidays in North Berwick and 54 years later the couple still, attracted to its unique charm, were able to return to invest in this glorious Victorian property.
