Don’t be deceived by Holly Croft she looks small but she’s a beautiful tardis. I chose to celebrated my 60th birthday with my family & friends and combine the rest of our stay into a holiday. This spacious gem was a fabulous place to host, a very well equipped kitchen, large roomy dinning room with plenty of seating.A light cosy lounge with three couches to relax into. 4 bedrooms to meet the mixed sleeping needs of my family. Two excellent bathrooms, modern & traditional ie a bath and a shower cubicle. Oh and a very well appointed utility. The joy of countryside & convenience of towns & farm shops.Holly Croft - perfect to relax & chill or if you wish to explore East Lothian or further afield.

We had a wonderful week at Holly Croft. The weather was lovely which gave us a chance to explore this beautiful area. There's a lovely walk straight from the house, ideal for dogs to run free along tracks in-between the fields. The views of the Law and surrounding areas are breathtaking. We went to North Berwick with it's neverending beaches all very dog friendly. And up The Law with it's wild ponies and views over to Edinburgh and beyond. Went spent a very interesting day at the Flight Museum with it's interactive hanger and Concorde it's well worth a visit. There's so much to see we will be back.

Spent a very enjoyable week. Weather lovely. Propery is excellent, views wonderful. Enjoyed watching the cows in the next field, rabbits in the morning, birds singing all day. Station is close, went to Edinburgh on the train.Only downside was that garden is huge,a big plus, but no enclosed space for dogs so dogs allowed but not dog friendly. Would definitely stay again though
