My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in July 2024. After reading the reviews we were dreading our stay however we were pleasantly surprised. …

The hotel is simple but very nice. You are very close to the beach etc, breakfast is in the room and generous . All in all we will return, lovely host, its air bnb style so self chk in and out, great by me. There is no bar / restaurant but the price reflects that well I think.

Lovely place to stay, we were pleasantly surprised with the food basket and small fridge in the room, stocked up with treats, very unexpected. There is no parking, however the golf course is literally across the road so it was easy to park up and access the hotel.

This is a great no fuss hotel, the room was very clean. I slept really well and I plan stay here again. No noise heard and more snacks in the room than some very expensive hotels. Shame I have a specific diet otherwise I'd have eaten it all. You can park free all night just a few hundred metres from the hotel. The train station going into Edinbrugh is also just a few minutes walk, and less than 30 mins in for an £8.80 anytime return. I came back alone for the last leg on the 10.20pm train on Saturday and it was quiet. Great for an anxious and nervous individual! I drove here due to my anxiety with long train journeys, to meet my friend who lives up here, but next time I plan to to stay here and catch the train from Wigan for sure.

This has to be the worst accommodation that I have ever stayed in.The pictures look great…but DONT BE FOOLED! This is basically a property that has had a very cheap makeover by very very poor tradesmen. …

Avoid and remove from trip advisor. This is not a hotel. This is a hostel. From the outside blinds closed, ring a man for code to safe deposit box for key at side door. Not allowed into front of building.  …

This should be taken off trip advisor as a place to book. I haven't slept here yet but if I hadn't paid I would not stay. From the outside appears closed and scruffy.  …

It was a folly. This is more Airbnb than a hotel. Booked for B&B but no hot options and dining area closed however, a poor selection provided in room. Misleading from booking site. Fortunately plenty of good quality cafes/restaurants in North Berwick. Room was clean but lights not working/fittings loose etc. Not worth the money.

The hotel was a bit awkward to find and it is not staffed which created a problem for me as the message with a phone number to contact anyone was not easy to read (numbers are not clear) I rang a number a few times but got no reply. …
