When you’re in such a tranquil area, it’s hard to believe that Edinburgh is just over a thirty-minute drive away. Nestled in a wonderfully peaceful and rural location, this secluded home is five miles from the quaint seaside town of North Berwick. The approach to this modern farmhouse is shaded by leafy trees and a long driveway where you can park up the four-by-four after a day of adventuring. As soon as you enter, past grey stone walls, you feel an immediate sense of traditional, Scottish charm from the architecture. Your host even offers a welcome hamper of shortbread and oatcakes to start your stay in this country lodge. After a nibble and a tumbler of whisky, light up the log-burning fireplace and explore the home. As you pad across the flagstone flooring, you’ll find the decor is beautifully understated, yet elegant and modern throughout. Outside, you also have extensive grounds where you can enjoy alfresco drinking and dining on the patio – Scottish weather permitting. And for the true water sports enthusiasts, you’ll be happy with the range of award-winning sandy beaches to explore, just ten minutes away by car.

Local guide


About East Lothian

Coastal golf courses, fishing villages and castles galore; East Lothian may be just down the road from buzzing Edinburgh, but it’s got a distinctly rural feel. North Berwick sits on the coast and is a pretty town of colourful fishing cottages, a sweep of beach and fab seafood restaurants (try the lobster shack on the harbour). If you want to stretch your legs, head up the steep incline of Berwick...
