Savour the views from the great vantage point of the sea-facing rooms to watch the golfers tee off at the first hole and take on the tricky eighteenth green.

At the changing of the tides during the exciting weather, waves crash dramatically on the harbour walls. The expansive views from the holiday home provide a warm space to enjoy the show. A perfect antidote for those just wanting to wind down, read or just find some space to relax or do some work if you need to. The inclusive WiFi gives you options.

Two wood burning stoves in the property give you the chance to create a special atmosphere during the autumn and winter months. Perfect for a romantic or cosy night in with the shutters closed.

To tantalise your taste buds, take your pick from four local restaurants mentioned in the Michelin guide including Osteria which is a short walk from the house on North Berwick high street.
