Gather together with friends or family in this spacious Victorian villa which can sleep up to 12 people. Take time to enjoy the outstanding panoramic views across the coastline and over the world-famous golf course of North Berwick. As a pet-friendly property, you can also bring your pet for long walks over the coastal walks of the area.
Set yards off the 18th fairway on the West Links and a minute's walk from the 1st tee the property reveals breathtaking panoramic views that take in the golf course, beach, offshore islands and Fife coast across the water.
In a previous era, it formed the main part of the Pointgarry House Hotel and has hosted golf pros across the decades. The space retains all of its period features, generous room dimensions and quirky charm. This is a cosy yet spacious home that offers the opportunity to relax and mix with your fellow guests in a versatile way that suits your group.
For beach lovers and dog walkers, you can access the beach just a few yards from the back door. Turn left to reveal miles of unspoiled sands towards Fidra Island. Turn right to discover the independent shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants of the High Street, located just a few minutes' walk away. No need for taxis or designated drivers here. Beyond that lies the stunning West Bay Beach and Milsey Bay Beach, Glen Golf Club and many more miles of coastline, waiting for you to explore.
Savour the views from the great vantage point of the sea-facing rooms to watch the golfers tee off at the first hole and take on the tricky eighteenth green.
At the changing of the tides during the exciting weather, waves crash dramatically on the harbour walls. The expansive views from the holiday home provide a warm space to enjoy the show. A perfect antidote for those just wanting to wind down, read or just find some space to relax or do some work if you need to. The inclusive WiFi gives you options.
Two wood burning stoves in the property give you the chance to create a special atmosphere during the autumn and winter months. Perfect for a romantic or cosy night in with the shutters closed.
To tantalise your taste buds, take your pick from four local restaurants mentioned in the Michelin guide including Osteria which is a short walk from the house on North Berwick high street.
