Summerside Cottage
We chose Summerside Cottage as our base while in Scotland. Gullane is just a short drive away from the city centre. We chose to take the train from North Berwick which was easy.

Perfect location
This property is in the centre of town but set behind the shops so although everything is on your doorstep, there is no noise. A beautiful beach and miles of dunes are 5 minutes walk from the door so if you have a dog it’s absolutely perfect. The parking space is tight but we have a mini so it was fine for us. The rooms in the house are all a good size and the kitchen has everything you would need. A great choice for a wonderful holiday.
