Description from owner
Description
This pretty, red sandstone cottage offers a secluded home-from-home and is located just a few minutes' walk from North Berwick's West Beach, golf club and the High Street and just 10 minutes' walk from all of North Berwick's main attractions.
Old Abbey Cottage, so named after it's location on the historic Old Abbey Road, is set back from the main street along a pretty walkway revealing a row of five, 120 year old railway cottages with original street lamps and floral baskets. The property sits opposite the ruins of the 800-year-old North Berwick Priory.
The cottage sleeps up to five people in three bedrooms, one with a super-king bed, one twin bedroom and one small single bedroom along with family bathroom with under-floor heating. The cosy, south-facing living room with wood burning stove, separate dining room and modern, newly refurbished kitchen have access to a west-facing porch and garden at the rear - a sunny evening spot, ideal for a glass of something after a busy day on the beach!
The cottage is just a two-minute walk from the very floral (and award winning!) train station where the train to and from Edinburgh and Glasgow terminates. It takes only 30 mins to get into Edinburgh Waverley for a day trip of sightseeing and shopping. Free, on-street parking is available outside the property.
Cottage facilities include 40 inch HD Smart TV (Netflix etc), wifi, lots of books and DVDs. There is a dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer in the kitchen along with Nespresso coffee machine. New, very comfortable and high quality, ortho-support beds with Egyptian cotton bedding in each of to three bedrooms. Guests are welcomed with a few foodie treats and a bottle on wine on arrival.
One well behaved dog is welcome by prior arrangement only at time of booking. Owners must provide dogs' bedding and towels and they are not permitted on furniture or beds and must not be left unattended in the property for any amount of time. An additional fee applies of £25 per stay which is paid directly to the property owner. Please also note that the garden to the rear of the property is a communal area and some of the other residents are elderly. We ask if guests can kindly keep your dog on a lead when in the rear garden and clean up any mess immediately.
COVID CANCELLATION POLICY: If you have to cancel your booking at any stage due to government implemented Covid travel restrictions in your area or indeed in East Lothian/Scotland, you will be refunded your deposit and/or full payment if already paid. Our usual cancellation policy applies for bookings cancelled for any other reason other than government implemented travel restrictions, so please read the cancellation policy carefully and take holiday insurance in the event you may need it.
