Wonderful central location within steps of beaches restaurants and grocery stores (golf too but not why we were there). Great walks along several holes on 2 different coursesThe house is a charming combination of coastal and traditional Scottish decor. It’s everything you need with all modern conveniences (washer dryer dishwasher large refrigerator with an ice maker and Netflix with TVS in every room including the kitchen!). If you are lucky with the weather which we were there is a lovely private back garden with a table and chairs to sit out and enjoy the sun. Some thoughtful gifts in the kitchen upon arrival. Andrew gave us many great restaurant recommendations we only tried 3 but each one was perfect. Gordon who is the local contact met us on check in and replied to our text quickly with a few questions we had. Highly recommended!

Fantastic location - fantastic property - fantastic host

Fraser's Marine Lodge was the perfect place to stay for our short visit to North Berwick. The home itself is spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated, and included everything we needed for our stay. It is just steps from the beach, the golf course, and all the great restaurants and shops of High Street. Add to that the great views of the sea out the front windows, and there is nothing left to be desired.Andrew was a perfect host, and he took the time before and during our stay to make sure everything was perfect for us. It was. We also appreciated the personal "meet and greet" from his colleague, Gordon. We would love to visit North Berwick again soon, and hope that Fraser's Marine Lodge can be our home-away-from-home once more.

Ideal house with character

What a lovely house in a great location. Fixtures and fittings all high quality. Beds very comfortable and a very well equipped kitchen. It is a short walk from the beach and the high street with independent shops and restaurants.Andrew, the owner, is the most effective communicator we have had the pleasure to encounter. Also, his local manager and cleaning staff exceed expectations. They all did everything they could to make our 4 night stay a pleasure, including a day of red wind wandering. A lovely place to be in a ‘lockdown’.We would certainly recommend Fraser’s Marine Lodge.

The trains are easy to use and 5 min away from the property. The 'manor' is huge, spotless, has everything you could possibly need to cook, chill, watch a flick, or just have a cup of tea and read.

Weekend trip review North Berwick

Booked above apartment for two nights together with relatives and my family. We absolutely loved apartment from the moment we walked in; everything was there. It was a very relaxing place. Apartment was clean, welcoming, a place you would want to spend time in. The shops, resturants and beach are close by. North Berwick is a lovely town to spend time in. Our relatives were also equally pleased with the apartment. I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to anyone else. If I go back to North Berwick again, which I hope I will; I hope to be able to book this apartment.

Very comfortable and relaxing place to stay

Very convenient for North Berwick shops, beaches and train to Edinburgh. Good views, parking, very clean, comfortable and relaxing. Thanks to Gordon for welcoming us and to Andrew for being so helpful with recommendations etc., and thoughtful - loved the daffodils and the shortbread. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family or friends. Lots of good walking locally, both short and long. Dirleton and Tantallon Castle very interesting and Scottish Seabird Centre also worth a visit. Tour of Royal Yacht Brittania in Edinburgh (Leith) was very good, including delicious tea and scones. Would also recommend a visit to see The Kelpies and Falkirk wheel (about 1h 20 min drive).

Two Wonderful Weeks in North Berwick

A wonderful home away from home. A blend of modern appliances and traditional architecture and furniture. Located perfectly at the edge of the main shops along High Street, so that everything was within walking distance. Andrew Hinds is the perfect landlord: Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. He helped at every step of our step: two years of full refunds when we could not make our trip, followed by excellent help in making this one work. He taught us how to use Whatsapp, gave us the links to the service staff and local transportation. Gordon gave us a thorough introduction to the house, and Lyndsey came by weekly to keep it clean.This was our seventh or so visit to N Berwick, but the first without a car or golf clubs. We just came to enjoy being there. The Sunday Times listed N Berwick as the most livable town in the UK, but we have considered it that for the past 40 years: our home away from home.

We were given all the information we needed and a lovely welcome food pack. Superb hospitality. The apartment is beautiful and very well appointed. Spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated reflecting the seaside and golfing town it is situated in. Perfect location for exploring all North Berwick has to offer.

Great golfing trip

We were two couples from the US on a golfing trip. Marine Lodge was the perfect place to base ourselves for the second part of our trip. It has a well appointed kitchen where we would eat breakfast each day and would have been a great place to cook evening meals if there weren't so many good restaurants within walking distance. The train station is a five minute walk up the hill and the train ride to Edinburgh is about 30 minutes. We went to Edinburgh for lunch and an afternoon of sightseeing and were back with plenty of time for a rest and time to go out for dinner. The apartment was very clean throughout, the beds very comfortable and we were met and shown the workings of the place when we arrived. We were all very happy with our stay an hope visit again.

Perfect,whatever the weather.

This was our second visit to Marine Lodge and hopefully, not our last! Our first visit was during the winter and we were so cosy in the apartment, this time we enjoyed sunny days and were able to make full use of the garden and sun porch. Luckily, we had one or two chilly evenings, so we allowed ourselves to light the log burner!! Once again, we found the apartment to be clean,comfortable and perfectly suited to our needs. Golf, the beach, and several restaurants were enjoyed all the better for being just minutes away. Gordon was on hand to welcome us again and when we had a plumbing problem, this was dealt with swiftly and with good humour! Can't wait to return!

Best holiday ever!!

My family and I have been holidaying in North Berwick for a number of years and I can definitely say that the 2 weeks we spent in Marine Lodge have been the best so far. The apartment was spotless, spacious, ideally located for all local amenities and only a 2 minute stroll from the beach and putting green. Upon our arrival we were met by Gordon who showed us all around the apartment and provided us with information for all the local attractions. The patio area with its sun lounge was an absolute sun trap, great for just sitting and reading if so desired and the apartment being so spacious meant that we were not bumping into each other and had plenty of room for relaxing. I would definitely make this our first option for holiday rental in North Berwick everytime.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Hinds

Host profile image
Joanna & Andrew love North Berwick , its beaches and golf. Andrew spent his happy childhood holidays in North Berwick and 55 years later the couple still, attracted to its unique charm, were able to return to invest in this glorious Victorian property. When it came on the market the location & opportunity were too good to miss !

Both Andrew & Joanna are keen sportspeople and remain members at North Berwick Golf Club.
They love - as you will - the escapism of the area, the outdoors and the proximity to Edinburgh.
They aim to ensure you will have a wonderful, comfortable stay, and their whole team is driven to make your experience one you will want to repeat.

Why they chose this property

The apartment offers an ideal seaside retreat from a day's golf North Berwick. This Victorian period property was the original Marine Lodge back in the 1860s.

It commands a fantastic central location just beyond the High Street near Westgate gallery, some 250 yards from the beach and first tee of the historic North Berwick West Links. Shops, Restaurants and traditional Scottish bars and transport links are just a short walk away.

The owners have upgraded and developed this grand apartment to provide and equip it with the modern amenities most sought after by holiday renters eg. Wi-Fi, IPOD charging, DVDs & TVs in 4 rooms, including kitchen/diner, Dishwasher, American Fridge Freezer and Washing Machine & Dryer.
It could sleep up to 5 people and also offers a Cot.
They continue to develop the property and created an additional bathroom, to provide guests with spacious shower area and additional storage. Now boasting a 12kw Multi-fuel Stove fire, with a stylish wet room. Great central heating system New in 2024. It also has new additional storage "golf-locker-style" facilities.
Winter time is ideal for Golf Parties from Northern Europe and Scandinavia - including Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland as only a short walk from the first tee on the Historic West Links.

Year on year our US clients continue to return and we look forward to being able to welcome even more visitors from the USA.
A recent 2019 Review:-
