Ideal house with character

What a lovely house in a great location. Fixtures and fittings all high quality. Beds very comfortable and a very well equipped kitchen. It is a short walk from the beach and the high street with independent shops and restaurants.Andrew, the owner, is the most effective communicator we have had the pleasure to encounter. Also, his local manager and cleaning staff exceed expectations. They all did everything they could to make our 4 night stay a pleasure, including a day of red wind wandering. A lovely place to be in a ‘lockdown’.We would certainly recommend Fraser’s Marine Lodge.

Cozy well equipped apartment that felt just like home

Communications with Andrew prior to our arrival were first class. We had a friendly welcome to the property by Gordon who showed us around the apartment. The apartment was cozy and very clean. I don’t think I have stayed at a better equipped rental property. The property is located 2 minutes from North Berwick GC and is at the end of the town’s delightful high street. If you are coming to North Berwick this is the place to stay!

Lovely property, in excellent conditions and with plenty of amenities. The location is close to the beach, golf course, shops and restaurants, all within a few minute’s walk. The rooms are spacious and the view out of the big bay window is endlessly changing. Edinburgh is also an easy train ride away, with the station close by. We stayed as a family of 5, and it worked well for us.

Great property

Just a short level walk to the centre of North Berwick. On the main road but no issue with road noise. Bath has low sides with rails and a non slip service so ideal for younger children or older members of your party. Car parking not the best (but we were warned before hand) but the seagulls took a great liking to my car for target practice. Comfortable beds and everything you need was there.

Golfers paradise

Staying at Marine lodge was the best choice in our minds. From the time we booked it, Andrew was always on hand to answer questions and provide tips on the local area. Upon arrival we were given a warm and very happy welcome by Gordon, he was also happy to answer any questions we had whilst staying. The complimentary decanter of Scottish water went down a treat on the first evening :) The apartment itself is of a very high standard of finish and fully equipped throughout. We loved the fridge! All the rooms are of large proportions which gave the four of us plenty of room to relax. Our golfing gear does take up room but the porch alone swallowed our clubs with space to spare :) North Berwick itself provided us with a good selection of eateries from fine dining to food pub food and also a well serviced town when it comes to supermarkets. Suffice to say that Marine lodge should be your choice as it will be ours the next time we visit North Berwick.

Great Location - 5 star apartment

Marine Lodge is truly fabulous. This was our first visit and nothing disappointed. The apartment is furnished and decorated to a high standard and has so many nice touches. It’s the perfect base for exploring NB. You are within walking distance for everything. Close by are all the shops and restaurants on the high street and you are minutes away from the beach. The massive lounge and front bedroom both have sea views to enjoy. The wood burning stove was great as we visited in January when the weather was really chilly. Andrew and Gordon were superb from start to finish to ensure everything went smoothly. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for five star accommodation in the heart of NB! We hope to return soon.

5 star accomodation in our favourite place!

Marine Lodge is a fabulous, spacious apartment which is definitely worth a visit. You will not be disappointed. The owner continually improves and adds to it over the year and it’s so well looked after. This will be our 4th visit over New Year and we have already booked again for 2019. It is so homely with the grand lounge which looks on to the Main Street in North Berwick. Very comfortable couches and a beautiful fireplace with lots of wood to burn, so cosy! There are 2 generous bedrooms with everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped and is super for entertaining. We even sit in the back porch some evenings, which is rather cold in the winter but such a lovely space looking out in to the garden. We would love to visit in the summer! Thanks for sharing this lovely family home.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Hinds

Host profile image
Joanna & Andrew love North Berwick , its beaches and golf. Andrew spent his happy childhood holidays in North Berwick and 54 years later the couple still, attracted to its unique charm, were able to return to invest in this glorious Victorian property. When it came on the market the location & opportunity were too good to miss !

Both Andrew & Joanna are keen sportspeople and remain members at North Berwick Golf Club.
They love - as you will - the escapism of the area, the outdoors and the proximity to Edinburgh.
They aim to ensure you will have a wonderful, comfortable stay, and their whole team is driven to make your experience one you will want to repeat.

Why they chose this property

The apartment offers an ideal seaside retreat from a day's golf North Berwick. This Victorian period property was the original Lodge back in the 1860s.

It commands a fantastic central location just beyond the High Street near Westgate gallery, some 250 yards from the beach and first tee of the historic North Berwick West Links. Shops, Restaurants and traditional Scottish bars and transport links are just a short walk away.

The owners have upgraded and developed this grand apartment to provide and equip it with the modern amenities most saught after by holiday renters eg. Wi-Fi, IPOD docking station, DVDs & TVs in 3 rooms, Dishwasher, American Fridge Freezer and Washing Machine & Dryer.
It could sleep up to 6 people and also offers a Cot.
They continue to develop the property and created an additional bathroom, to provide guests with spacious shower area and additional storage. Now boasting a 12kw Multi-fuel Stove fire, with a stylish wet room. It also has new additional storage "golf-locker-style" facilities.
Winter time is ideal for Golf Parties from Northern Europe and Scandinavia - including Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland as only a short walk from the first tee on the Historic West Links.
2018 saw the completion of the kitchen upgrade.
Year on year our US clients continue to return and with the advantageous value of the $ dollar versus the £GBP sterling, we look forward to being able to welcome even more visitors from the USA.
A recent 2019 Review:-
