Extremely walkable location;. easy to take a Borders bus to Siccar Point, a major site in geology and the history of science. I would love to return.

Offering a garden and lake view, The Lodge by the Lake, Dunbar is located in Dunbar, 2.8 km from Whitesands Beach and 33 km from Muirfield. This beachfront property offers access to a patio and free private parking. The chalet has private entrance.

The property was a cute little lodge on the edge of a Loch. It was very warm and cosy- perfect for a weekend escape. It was lovely and secluded with plenty of wildlife around- i would definately recommend a set of binoculars to do some bird watching while relaxing in the hot tub. The hot tub was pre heated and the rooms was beautifully clean. All the amenities was all in good working conditions. Hair dryer, defuser and kitchen in good working order- although the extractor fan wasn't working this wasn't an issue. Its a perfect place for star gazers, you can see over 4 constellations in the sky as it seems to be in a dark area with many shooting stars. Lovely beaches close by and not far from the centre with some lovely shops and resurants. Will definately be booking looking forward to booking again in the summer.

My girlfriend and I stayed in the hot tub suite over a weeknight and we loved our stay, everything was ideal from the bedroom to the facilities. Very clean. Hot Tub was top of the range and easy to use. Could sit in until 11pm watching the stars. Would absolutely stay here again or recommend it to other couples looking for a getaway.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in! The staff were so kind and accommodating, very comfy beds with plug sockets right next to each, perfect location (walking distance from harbour and 10 minute drive from Dunbar beach) and everything was exceptionally clean. The basic provided breakfast was lovely, and there were great facilities for self-catering. The twin room was pretty spacious with a lovely sea view, and the retro decor throughout the hostel was very cool. Thank you so much & we will definitely be back!

    I really enjoyed the wonderful view from the window. The hotel is very quiet and everything was perfect. The diner with view on the seaside was much appreciated. It is close from the harbour, the city centre. There is a wonderful walk to do. the John Muir Way and the beaches are very close.

    Beautiful location, right on the beach, quiet location, the view from the lounge window was amazing. The chalet had everything that was needed, plenty of storage and well equipped kitchen, a lot of attention to detail.

    Staff were all lovely. Great fun using the hot tub whilst enjoying beach views. Hot chocolate in the room 😁 which not all hotels do. I don’t like tea or coffee so love it when a hot chocolate is offered. Lovely breakfast, had the salmon and scrambled eggs whilst enjoying the beach view. Lovely area.

    The chalet was clean and warm enough for the cold February nights. The Chalet is in a lovely scenic location with some nice seaside towns near it and also not too far to visit Edinburgh. The host was very welcoming and let my kids have a walk around the farm to view the lambs. Would highly recommend and would definitely visit again in the summer months.
