Originally a herring smokery, this light-filled, tastefully decorated property has been imaginatively updated to make a bright, fresh and relaxing holiday home perfect for families and friends exploring the historic town of Dunbar. Making a fantastic base for walkers, hikers, beach lovers and nature spotters discovering the magical countryside and dramatic coastline of East Lothian, the characterful, elegantly furnished hideaway offers cosy accommodation for up to six guests. This charming, marine-themed retreat enjoys a central waterside location with sea views, and features a cheery wood burner, a delightful snug and a sweet coastal garden.

Stepping inside this airy getaway, the welcoming hallway leads through to the spacious lounge, a bright and sunny room with a cosy coal-effect gas fire, a Smart TV and an array of books and games. The lounge leads seamlessly across to a sweet snug area with sea views and a handy desk. Exploring the ground floor further you will find a handsome, stylishly arranged dining room adorned with a charming selection of artwork, leading through to a sleek and beautifully arranged kitchen with ample storage and workspace. When it's time to turn in for the night, head upstairs where you will find three gorgeous rustic-style bedrooms decorated in light neutral shades and featuring plush, solid wooden beds. The first is a relaxing king-size room, alongside a peaceful twin and a cosy double. This floor also features a refreshing bathroom.

Stepping outside, the enclosed garden has a sweet seating area with a picnic table and BBQ offering a serene spot for you to sit back and dine alfresco as you take in the magnificent sea views. Look out for local pet hens popping along to visit. Unallocated parking can be found along the road or in the free car park opposite.
