This was place to stay for a couple of nights while attending a wedding nearby. Plenty to see and do nearby Susie, the owner, was quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again if back in the area.

Great stay!

This was a great getaway spot on the coast. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do within the town and the property itself was as listed, very clean and well kept. We enjoyed our stay!

The unit was well presented, very clean, had a very open living area and Susie was available and helpful, both prior and at, check-in. We are a couple in our (very) late '70's and before we signed up she queried as to whether the 28 steps up to the unit would be ok. We pointed out that we were in excellent health and in fact we had no problem with going up and down the stairs during our stay. The problem was the beds. The unit was presented as a 2 bedroom with a king bed in one room and two singles in the other. For international visitors from Australia and the US a king bed is a large bed while in the UK a "king bed' is roughly the size of an Australian or US queen sized bed: i.e. it is quite small by most international standards and as two (not small) individuals it was not what we expected. OK, if one of us slept in the other room in one of the single beds except: they were like children's beds, quite short, and with uncomfortable mattresses. So, in conclusion, short of the 8-9 hours at night when we were sleeping, the accommodation, welcome, cleanliness and over-all presentation, the unit was excellent. The beds were not.

We had a fantastic stay in Dunbar! The flat was very clean and well equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. The views are amazing as well. Susie gave us a lot of recommendations and we took advantage of many of them during our three night stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Dunbar, and The Old Harbor Masters Flat were both delightful

Nice little place in Dunbar

We were pleasantly surprised by the charm of this flat and the area. There is a lot to do and see around Dunbar and North Berwick, and it was very easy to hop on the train and go into Edinburg. The big bed was really comfortable and the shower worked great.

Beautiful flat with a view in a central location

The property is even lovelier than the pictures don't justice, the view from the bay window over part of the harbour and further south towards the light house were beautiful and our toddler was absolutely blown away by all the things he could see out the window! It's such a central location within walking distance of the harbour, main street with shops and restaurants, swimming pool, and a fantastic park. Well worth a stay.
