Absolutely the best stay of our month long visit to the UK! The place was lovely and right on the beach. Cross the street and you’ll find the steps down to the beach. Down the street and you’re in front of some wonderful places to eat! Five minute walk to the local shops! We lived everything about our stay in North Berwick! Whether we were taking a rainy walk in the beach or popping in to the shops for goodies or a visit to the Seabird Center…. It was all magical. The flat is comfortable and cozy. Hot showers were wonderful as were the comfy beds! We also loved relaxing with a cocktail in the living room! Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Very comfortable accommodation in a beautiful location
The flat is in a lovely location close to a Sandy beach and with beautiful sea views. Shops, restaurants and facilities are within easy reach. It is wonderfully equipped with everything needed. Beds are comfortable and ample showers and bathrooms. Altogether we had a very nice stay. Just need better information about recycling and rubbish.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely two-bedroom property in North Berwick. Travelling with my older parents and teenage daughter, it was the perfect base for our family holiday. The apartment is fantastically located—just a short stroll to the beach and an easy walk into town, where we enjoyed browsing eclectic shops, grabbing delicious takeaways, and treating ourselves to ice cream.The accommodation itself was spotless and extremely comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you might need. It really felt like a home away from home. The view from the lounge is just beautiful.We had such a great time that we’ve already booked to come back next year. Our only complaint was that we couldn’t stay longer! North Berwick is a fantastic destination, and this apartment made it even better.

It’s great to know you felt so at ease and appreciated the little touches. We're especially pleased to hear you've already booked for next year—what a lovely compliment!

Location of property was excellent. Access to Edinburgh and local walks great.
The cleanliness and attention to detail was lacking considering the price paid. More detailed information re parking could be provided, we had to check with the very helpful and friendly traffic wardens. Also more information as to where the 'rubbish' could be taken.
These details could be added to information folders in the flat.
