Harbour view in Dunbar

A lovely comfortable well-appointed flat with a great view. Susie is a great host - she was very helpful and even arranged an early check in and late check out for us.

Glorious Getaway

We had the most marvelous time at the Old Harbor Master’s apartment! Everything was just perfect. The location was great. We walked & walked all over Dunbar. We loved waking up to the singing seagulls each morning. Wonderful memories made and we look forward to a return visit in the future. Julie

Tour of Scotland

One of the best VRBO’s we’ve had the pleasure of staying at and we’ve stayed at many. Would definitely return and recommend to others. Has absolutely everything you need for a short or long term stay. Host is lovely and easy to get in touch with! The flat is bright and comfy. Area is perfect for walking to get food or walking off the food you just ate! Sea is right at your door. Many attractions in the area with scenic drives to all. Thank you for everything!
