It is a lovely warm and cosy apartment which we very much enjoyed to stay in with our two children (aged 7 and 8 years).

Living room gets a lot of light during the day and very cosy in the evenings. It is a first floor apartment accessed from the side of the building. A great choice for North Berwick.

It was a beautiful getaway! A paradise close to the city. Amazing house, felt like a home away from home! The attention to detail in the house was different from anywhere else we've been in the past. It was stacked with all sorts of equipment and anything you would ever need. Beautiful garden with gorgeous lights. The fireplace was where we spent most of our time. For any couples or families looking for a getaway I would strongly recommend. The kindest regards to our host Patricia who made our stay so lovely. Much Love, Joni and Ayla

Surfsplash beachfront Holiday Cottage, Dunbar

AngieRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We had an amazing stay at Louise’s place! The pictures don’t do it justice….and the views! Literally sitting right on the beach where you step out your door and directly into the sand. Louise was an amazing host as well. She was so responsive , and when we requested an early check in she immediately responded and we were able to check in and settle in early. We would highly recommend her home if you are lucky enough to travel to Dunbar.

KarenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our first visit To Northumberland and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Lesley's apartment is the perfect space for a weekend away. Incredibly clean, modern, stylish and excellent quality bed linen, towels and furnishings. If I could have taken the bed home I would have done 😄 so so comfy! Lesley was the perfect host, answered questions quickly made sure we had everything we needed and I knew she was on hand had we have needed anything. The location is great, plenty to see and do in the area. A lovely bistro smack bang opposite the apartment, serving great homemade pizzas and meze and have a singer on on a weekend. Free parking was a real treat and Lesley's book of top tips, places to visit and restaurant recommendations was really useful. I'd highly recommend a stay at The Nest.

It was really something special to stay at Kinghorn Town Hall. The accommodation is just as beautiful as in the photos and even after a few days just as impressive as at the beginning.

We found it a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside as well as going to Edinburgh (also good access by train). We would love to come back someday.
