2 THE BAY - contemporary apartment with magnificent views over Coldingham Bay., Coldingham

Scottish Borders. Sleeps up to 4

A design-led contemporary apartment with a distinct surf vibe and magnificent views over Coldingham Bay.

Watch the incredible waves for which Coldingham bay is famed from your private balcony

Dotted with beach huts and ringed with wildlife-rich dunes and grassland, the horseshoe-shaped Coldingham Bay is one of the most picturesque beaches in southern Scotland. Only a smattering of homes pepper the grassy slopes above the kilometre-long white sand beach, amongst them the pair of strikingly contemporary Bay Villas.

With sweeping views over the bay and ocean beyond it, the Villas are set back far enough from the water’s edge to allow you to take in the dramatic coastline while being near enough to go for an early morning swim and stroll on the sand.

One of several apartments which make up the new design-led Villas, 2 The Bay is a first-floor home with a balcony overlooking Coldingham Bay and the sea beyond it. The owners have a keen eye for design classics reflected in the interior details including Eames hooks, Tylko shelving and Crittall shower screens. The interior styling reflects the entire family’s passion for the sea and surfing with splashes of blues and aquas throughout the apartment and a collection of surfing artwork, in particular the bespoke neon piece in the master bedroom which perfectly encapsulates the holiday spirit.

While you’re not soaking up the views of Coldingham Bay from the balcony, you can head down to the sand itself to enjoy excellent surfing, diving and kayaking - professional instruction in all three pursuits is available through the nearby St Vedas Surf Shop. There are also plenty of walking routes in the local vicinity, including a scenic coastal walk that takes in the pretty fishing village of St. Abbs, the perfect spot for a tasty seafood chowder or crab baguette. Should you fancy a day trip, choices include the historic coastal town of Berwick-upon-Tweed and vibrant City of Edinburgh.
