About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A generous, elegant front-line Victorian property with stunning sea, golf & offshore island views.

A heady mix of location, expansive views, comfort, heritage and style.

A paradise for golfers, beachcombers, walkers and food lovers. Retreat and relax or get outside and active - your break, your choice.

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.

The accommodation is versatile which makes it ideal for family get-togethers, golfing parties or friendship groups to gather in a beautiful and convenient setting. The main bedroom on the ground floor can be used as a family room and easily takes two single beds along with the super king double.

W.C. across the hallway and shared use of the shower/W.C. on the first-floor landing.

This beautiful and spacious room on the first floor features a double bed and two large linen sofas – perfect for lounging.

Golf Basecamp
The location and accommodations cannot be beat. Located on the 18th hole of East Berwick, just a 3 minute walk to the first tee and about a 5 minute walk to town. The house was well equipped and very clean. The bedrooms had plenty of space. Would recommend for a larger group on holiday or a group of 4-6 golfers.

great stay
We were a group of 8 people. Plenty of room for all of us--very spacious and right on the beach/golf course. Cute town to walk around with plenty of restaurants nearby along with the train station. My only advice would be to have the hot water available all day--the times it was available was a little hard for 8 people needing to shower--we did try to adjust the times but it didn't help with getting hot water for a some of us having to take cold showers.

The town is fantastic and the property is literally at the heart of it. Right on the 18th Fairway. You can't get a better location and the house itself is fantastic for families. Had a very special weekend and would book again for sure.
