The House at the Beach. North Berwick

The House at the Beach is a double-upper Victorian villa (built 1871). It is a beautiful home from home, equipped and decorated to a very high specification, with stunning views over North Berwick’s west beach, harbour, and the RNLI lifeboat station. The window seat in the sitting room is a favourite place for visitors to watch all the activities on the beach, sailing boats, boats from the harbour to the islands, as well as the regular training launching the lifeboat. Modern wooden sash and case windows let in the summer's sea air and keep out the wind on breezy days.

The house features original art throughout, along with several quirky elements. It also provides beach equipment, including bodyboards, windbreaks, and beach chairs.

Livingroom/dining room

The elegant living room takes full advantage of the exceptional views over West Bay and Craigleith Island. It’s lavished with all the little extra comforts to get you feeling right at home, including a flat screen Smart TV with streaming service, and complimentary WiFi.

Glass doors lead to the sophisticated dining room, again, offering uninterrupted views of the sea, never missing the frequent stunning sun sets.

Kitchen/Dining Area

The spacious kitchen and dining area is warm and bright with morning sunlight and is fully equipped with everything you need to cook up a treat to enjoy at the breakfast table. The integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave, oven and hob – and that all-important coffee machine!

Bedrooms

Choose from four beautifully decorated bedrooms, each offering unique charm. Three boast glorious sea views, with two featuring en-suite facilities. The fourth bedroom overlooks the private square and Berwick Law.

Please note we do not provide hypoallergenic bedding in our properties.

Bathrooms

In addition to the two en-suite bathrooms, there is a spacious family bathroom featuring a corner bath with an overhead shower, and a handy cloakroom with toilet and wash hand basin.

Outdoor Space

The private pretty garden, shared with our neighbour, is a real sun trap when it’s a little breezy elsewhere. Great for sunbathing or an alfresco breakfast or lunch.

Access to the property is by a short, private road with one parking space for guests staying at The House at the Beach. There is an external electric socket to safely charge an EV.

This property welcomes a pet. One dog only.

Visitors particularly love the beach, safe sea swimming, paddle boarding and canoeing, the sea pool for children, and the two local golf courses which are both walking distance from the house.

Older children love being able to visit the shops on their own, as well as play at the children’s golf course, which requires any adult players to be accompanied by a child.
