Traditional cottage in peaceful countryside near North Berwick and beach

Traditional cottage in peaceful countryside near North Berwick and beach

10/10 Excellent
"My partner and I stayed three nights at Newbyth Garden Cottage and wished we could have stayed longer. The cottage was peaceful, attractively furnished, comfortable and well-equipped and Michael kindly met us on our arrival because he'd sent some links to me for suggested local cycling routes he'd devised and we'd needed to confirm a few aspects of them. We are so grateful to him as his willing cooperation and local knowledge helped us to make the very most of our limited stay - the cycle rides, both off and on road - captured the best of the varied local countryside and coast, as well as the charms of villages and small towns. We found a generous array of produce in the fridge and on the kitchen table on settling in to the cottage, the most kindness we have ever encountered during our considerable travels in the UK and elsewhere. We thanked him then and thank him again now for making our stay very happily memorable. Annette and Frank"

"Our experience at Leuchie was everything we could have expected. The house and gardens were charming and well kept. The meals prepared by Dorothy, our chef, were fabulous. Dorothy not only accommodated our requests for breakfast, dinner and drinks, but also made sure the fireplace was roaring after a long, blustery day on the golf course! Hew's restaurant recommendations and taxi service were spot on. And of course, North Berwick and the surrounding area offered the quaint Scottish experience we expected. We can't wait to book our next stay!"
