We liked that it was a short walk to the property from the Railway Station and a short walk to the main street and harbour. The breakfast box was a really nice touch that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Unfortunately there was a lot of young adults staying there the same night as us and they came in about 12.00 midnight and continued speaking and making a noise in the corridor until 3.00am so we didn't get much sleep.

Great location, value for money and great food hamper pack and fridge in the room which was such a nice touch at the price I paid.
Didn’t realise it was self check in as had no message telling me. So turned up in darkness, rain and no key box code. 2% battery life on phone and no signal I was a bit stressed but thanks to north Berwick golf club I was able to use their WiFi and get a message through to property and sorted in the end.

Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel doesn't provide breakfast, but they left us a basket full with food and snacks and small fridge with milk and cheese.
Beautiful location in old fire station, near the beach and short walk to the high street with nice pubs, restaurants and stores.
Small room so not suitable for long stays. the doors don't block noises and you can hear anyone walking in the hall past the room.

Great seaside location with easy access to Edinburgh, facilities, and comfort
The only complaints would be a lack of orange juice in the otherwise excellent breakfast pack, and the shower had limited power.

The hotel’s facilities and location were excellent, and the added touch of complimentary snacks and an in-room fridge was a nice bonus.
The hotel feels a bit dated and would benefit from some light refurbishment and general maintenance. With that said, I would stay again.

Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Situation was good. Welcome hamper was nice. Communal room was a bonus due to size of bedroom.
Room was very small and too warm. Bed was not very comfortable. No window in bathroom. Quilt was too small for bed.

Rooms were great but rest of the hotel little rough around the edges. For the price one pays it was great value though. I would go again.

We liked how spacious and clean the rooms were. The rooms were very cosy so just felt like being in home comforts. The service was great! The people were very friendly.

The hotel is located within a short walking distance of the train station and just a few minutes from the beachfront. There is a lovely open-plan sitting area and dining area for hotel guests to use. Both rooms were well equipped with comfortable beds. The larger room (Room 3) had a separate bath and shower. While no breakfast buffet was offered, there were provisions in the rooms which included a small mini bar fridge with milk and yogurt as well as with breakfast food items (croissant, porridge, cereal bars, etc). Staff were welcoming and friendly.
There wasn't anything that I didn't find to my liking.

Great budget option. Easy free parking opposite along side the golf course.
Friendly hosts who make you feel very welcome.
The stairs might be a bit steep for some older customers. I was ok.

Ignore the outside , the rooms are clean , comfortable and they make a real effort with welcome pack.
The exterior , it needs tlc. And the wooden bars on the stairs , trip hazard.

Location, Fridge in room
Room 3, No windows only a skylight, 4inch opening so it got warm & stuffy and of course you couldnt see anything. Sloping ceilings bathroom & kettle area, head banging!! Shower floor a foot off the ground, would be dodgy stepping out for an older person(Me) and nothing to hold onto. White paintwork shabby, whole place needs a total makeover inside and out.

There was a snack basket with porridge and snacks and a mini fridge for milk and drinks. We were also received warmly by the staff. We arrived before the check-in time and were able to deposit our luggage with the reception and run off to the Seabird Centre to catch a boat ride out! The suite (2 beds) was also big enough for our family of 3 (1yo)!
We had arrived on a Monday and the closing hours of the restaurants and shops around were a little early (5-6pm). It was quite quiet/dead in North Berwick on a Monday and we didn't know unfortunately if not we could aim to arrive a little to get more out of our day trip!

Not much to say.
There was no one at reception. The whole places was locked up. It’s a glorified Airbnb that costs more and is worse. Don’t stay here.

how close it was to golf course and beach and shops
had a great range of choice for breakfast in your room but maybe some healthier options would just give it even a nicer touch. there was greek yogurt though!

Location is excellent. Room quiet but rather small. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shower worked OK.
Overall, rather careworn and not really worth the cost. Lots of things did not work properly eg the toilet seat wonky, the TV only a couple of channels, holes in back of bathroom door, state of decoration poor. Towels weren't changed, toiletries not replaced and fridge not updated. No proper wardrobe so room got very cluttered. Hotel did not do breakfast.

The welcome was lovely from the couple who were managing the hotel.
It was small but deceptively well appointed.
The breakfast in a basket was well presented and just what was needed, with the great little fridge.
Location perfect. Parking easy.
I liked it all.

The location was good, we chose the family room as traveling with our daughter
Single glazed windows meant we could hear each car driving past. And the slanted roof caught us a few times

Such a beautiful hotel and run by two really lovely people who really helped me out during a really difficult time. They helped me with my bags, were friendly and very kind. Great facilities and a great touch with the tunnocks tea cakes! Xx
