Stunning Stables Cottage in East Lothian Country Estate

Everything we needed was there. But rather dirty, especially under the beds and the bathroom.Really enjoyed the log burner, it made all the difference.Loved the location, peaceful and stunning scenery

This Cottage could be fantastic with a few tweaks … nothing wrong with the basics, but we had to clean a big accumulation of bird dirt off the windows, the sitting out area was overgrown and there were only a few logs for the log burner! Clean-ish inside, but no excuses for mould in the bathroom ! Could do better !!

Based on the photos and description, we were very excited to stay at the Stables Cottage. Upon arrival, however, we were quickly disappointed. The outside bushes are totally overgrown and make the property instantly look rundown. Upon entering, we were immediately hit with the odor of damp, musty wood which triggered allergies. The furniture and the beds are very uncomfortable. The sofa is stained and the throw pillows were dirty as well. The windows were dirty and moldy and there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. We made the best of it, but in the current condition, could not recommend.

All was great. This is a working stable with horses and those many that have to care for horses, plus at least one friendly dog. You felt welcomed and that was appreciated. With a 15 minute drive you are in North Berwick and so close to John Muir park and Seacliff. Seacliff is special. The only, and minor, negative was that it was not a peaceful place when we were there- lots of tree trimming (Chain saw) and chipping- so very noisy at times. I would guess this is a rare event and suggested to the management team that they inform potential clients before hand. With that aside, a very special space. Loved saying "hi" to the horses.

A delightful house in a very quiet setting but convenient for all the attractions of the area. The house has real character and we enjoyed being able to walk our dog through the neighbouring woods. Would certainly aim to return.
