Old Abbey Cottage is a cosy, three bedroom former railway cottage built in the 1800s. Secreted up a leafy pathway, OAC is just a few minutes' walk from North Berwick's West Beach, golf course and High Street. A former railway cottage, it is also just two minutes from the picturesque train station (which you can't see or hear) with regular trains to Edinburgh and beyond. There's a wood burning stove for cooler evenings and a sun trap both front and rear, it's the perfect antidote to a busy day on the beach.
The cottage sleeps up to five people in three bedrooms, with a super-king (can we twinned), twin and single bedrooms 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!
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.
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.
Cottage facilities include 40 inch HD Smart TV (Netflix etc), wifi, lots of books and DVDs. There is a 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 the three bedrooms. Guests are welcomed with a few foodie treats and a bottle on wine on arrival.
Old Abbey Cottage is located in the really tranquil and historic Old Abbey Road. This old Victorian railway cottage is one of five terraced villas set back off the street down a pretty, leafy walkway. The cottage is just a short five-minute walk from the West Beach, the starter's hut and the High Street. The floral, award-winning train station is just a minute walk away with regular trains direct into Edinburgh city centre. Trains terminate in this 'Toy Town style' station, so you can't hear them coming and going!
This is a peaceful area, ideal for those looking for a relaxing break and a slower pace of life.
Old Abbey Road dates back more than 800 years and opposite the cottage are the remains of the St Mary's Priory, which used to be a monastery of nuns in Medieval North Berwick. Dating back to 1150 it ran for over four centuries and the ruins, gardens and Dovecot still remain.
North Berwick, just 25 miles from Edinburgh is a pretty seaside town with numerous sandy beaches, two within short walking distance of the cottage. It's a thriving historic town with 12th-century harbour, the five star Seabird Centre and lots of quality restaurants, bars and shops. There's the annual Festival by the Sea every August which is a mini version of Edinburgh's Fringe Festival and attracts families and tourists alike. The area is easy to navigate and most things are available on foot (although a visit to the main supermarket will take around five minutes in the car from the cottage. However there are smaller convenience stores on the high street such as the Co-op)...
This cottage is located in North Berwick. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Scottish Sea Bird Center and Aberlady Bay Nature Reserve, while Tantallon Studios and National Museum of Flight are cultural highlights. Traveling with kids? Consider East Links Family Park and Scottish Fisheries Museum.
