Beautiful flat with a view in a central location

The property is even lovelier than the pictures don't justice, the view from the bay window over part of the harbour and further south towards the light house were beautiful and our toddler was absolutely blown away by all the things he could see out the window! It's such a central location within walking distance of the harbour, main street with shops and restaurants, swimming pool, and a fantastic park. Well worth a stay.

Nice little place in Dunbar

We were pleasantly surprised by the charm of this flat and the area. There is a lot to do and see around Dunbar and North Berwick, and it was very easy to hop on the train and go into Edinburg. The big bed was really comfortable and the shower worked great.

Great place for a weekend stay

We used Susie's place as a base for attending a wedding in the local area and it was just what we needed. Well located, all the amenities that you could need (the iron was especially helpful...) and a lovely communal space to relax and look at the beautiful view. The beds were made up as two doubles for us and our friends which was really helpful too.
