5 Bed Cottage in North Berwick

About this property

Offering superb accommodation for larger families and groups of friends, this generous, tastefully presented retreat is surrounded by serene countryside in a beautiful and historic part of Scotland. The area is a golfer’s paradise, with several wonderful clubs along the coastline, including the famous Open-hosting course at Muirfield (5.5 miles). Looking out onto Milsey Bay and West Bay, the traditional seaside town of North Berwick (3.5 miles) has lovely beaches and a wealth of great places to eat and drink. From the Scottish Seabird Centre you can take a boat trip towards Bass Rock, Lamb and Craigleith to spot colonies of gannets, puffins and guillemots. Back on dry land, follow the John Muir Way or hike to North Berwick Law, an ancient volcanic hill, with other local attractions including the National Museum of Flight, Hailes Castle, Dirleton Castle and Gardens, and Preston Mill and Phantassie Doocot, all within 6 miles.

Entering this impressive holiday getaway, a large vestibule offers a warm welcome, leading through to a spacious hall. From here you can head through to a bright and charming, stylishly arranged open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with high vaulted ceilings and picture windows allowing light to stream in. The spacious lounge area has a Smart TV and chic seating, alongside a sociable central dining table perfect for enjoying a family feast together. The thoughtfully updated kitchen area to the rear has an additional breakfast bar and ample equipment for rustling up all your favourite dishes. This delightful retreat offers five light and inviting bedrooms, two of which can be found downstairs: a beautiful double and a pretty king-size room. The ground floor also features an invigorating bathroom and a handy utility room. Heading upstairs you will find a refreshing shower room and the three remaining bedrooms, all with plush king-size beds – one with an en-suite shower room, while the other two can be made up as twin rooms on request when booking.

Heading outside, the large and enclosed wraparound garden has a generous lawn with ample space for younger guests to run and play, alongside a choice of seating areas including a main patio accessed from the open-plan living area and featuring a BBQ and outdoor seating, making an ideal spot for dining alfresco and enjoying the peaceful surrounding views. Off-road private parking is available for six cars.
