Peacefully located, yet only a ten to fifteen minute stroll from Drem railway station, which is served by Scotrail. Regular trains to both Waverley, to the West,and North Berwick, to the North East.

Holly croft was ideal for us to celebrate New Year and two young grandchildren birthdays. Very spacious, clean and comfortable with comfortable beds, sofas and good showers. Lovely setting and great walk up the lane to the fields for our dog. Good communication with the owner, Adam, who responded always promptly to a couple of enquiries.Thoroughly recommend and would love to stay again.

Everything is good. It would be prefect if you could provide the dish washer machine. My son told me that the lock in one of the bathrooms is not quite right.
