Tyne Park

Perfect for large families or groups of friends, this superb, dog-friendly, house is set in a tranquil location on the outskirts of East Linton, where you’ll find shops (including an award-winning butcher) and places to eat and drink. Visit the Garden Centre in Dunbar or East Fortune (both 6 miles) where you can refuel at the cafe and pick up local produce to take home.

The long, sandy beach at Tyninghame is less than 4 miles away, perfect for long walks or paddling. There are more beaches in North Berwick (6.5 miles), a picturesque harbour town where there are also two world-renowned golf courses.

Visit the Scottish Seabird Centre and take a boat trip to spot seals, dolphins and the world’s largest colony of gannets, or hike up North Berwick Law and enjoy incredible views from the summit. Aviation enthusiasts will enjoy a trip to the National Museum of flight (6 miles).

Or a day trip to Edinburgh is just 23.5 miles by car or 20 minutes on the train from East Linton station. Thoughtfully designed for both style and comfort, the spacious stone house is set over two storeys, with some internal steps.

From the vestibule, stroll through the hall and into the light-filled, open-plan living space, where everyone can gather for cooking, dining and relaxing – perhaps firing up the wood burner for glowing warmth on cooler evenings. The sleek kitchen boasts an array of appliances, including a microwave and a dishwasher, and the elegant dining table comfortably accommodates eight people.

As an added bonus, you can even chill bottles and cans in the retro-style drinks fridge to accompany your meals. Afterwards, sink into one of the sofas for some well-deserved down time, or head to the separate lounge, where there’s more soft seating and a Smart TV, ideal for cartoons, a family film or a favourite box set.
