Old Coastguard Station. Dunbar

Located on the edge of East Beach, this one-bedroom stunning seaside home was originally built as a coastguard station 140 years ago. Today, it has been transformed into a beautifully designed modern villa, boasting uninterrupted views of the open sea.

Fine attention to detail on every aspect of the interior has been considered, with high end finishings, underfloor heating and triple glazing, ensuring your stay is as comfortable as possible. The villa’s striking picture windows provide impressive panoramic views, making it an idyllic retreat for anyone seeking tranquillity and natural beauty.

As you enter this gorgeous abode, a spacious and elegant bedroom awaits you downstairs, complete with a luxurious king-size bed. The generously sized wardrobe provides ample storage space, ensuring your room remains clutter-free.

Also located on this floor is a high-gloss shower room offering modern luxury. You can enjoy a large shower unit and a refreshing rainfall shower head. Adjacent to the shower room is a utility area, equipped with a washing machine for your convenience.

Venturing upstairs, you’ll step into an inviting open-plan space where the kitchen, dining area, and living room merge seamlessly together. This bright and airy atmosphere is created by the abundance of natural light pouring in from three well-placed roof lights and the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.

The stylish kitchen is fully equipped and ready for your self-catering holiday needs, featuring a fridge freezer, hob, oven and microwave. Aside from the fantastic views, guests can satisfy their entertainment needs with the large flat-screen TV with Freeview TV.

East Lothian, also known as Scotland's Golf Coast, is a golfer's paradise. The region is home to some of the world's greatest links, including the largest concentration of Championship courses anywhere in the world - such as Muirfield, The Renaissance Club, and North Berwick, all just a short drive away.

Dunbar has its own railway station, offering an hourly service that takes only 30 minutes to reach the centre of Edinburgh.

Local area

The property makes for the perfect base to explore all that East Lothian (officially the sunniest place in Scotland!) has to offer.

There’s a wonderful coastline with sandy bays, rocky coves and fishing harbours to be explored at North Berwick, Seacliff, Dunbar, Port Seton and Cockenzie. Or further inland you can discover the beautiful, unspoiled countryside and woodlands of Binning, Pressmennan, and Butterdean to name a few, and the picturesque villages of Stenton, Garvald, Tyninghame & Dirleton many of which boast the quaintest coffee shops around. Then to the south extends the rolling hills of the Lammermuirs.

Dunbar is also conveniently located near public transport, and Scotland’s capital city of Edinburgh is just a short 30-minute (approx.) bus or train ride away.

Create a splash at Dunbar Leisure Pool, the ultimate centre for aquatic fun for all the family! The pool has a beached area, as well as a wave machine, water jets and flume. So much more than just a swimming pool, Dunbar is also home to a state-of-the-art Bodyworks Gym, health suite with steam room and sauna.
