Archerfield Neuk is part of a charming complex of former farm buildings on an exquisite ducal estate on the East Lothian coast,  just 22 miles from Edinburgh.  If you are a golfer, the world Archerfield will have already caught your attention, and yes, here you are surrounded by some of the best golf courses in the country, with famous Muirfield itself just a comfortable stroll from the Apartment.

The delightful and airy first floor accommodation is situated amid extensive parklands,  and is surrounded by a delightful garden, a secluded part of which tenants will have for their own exclusive use.  Inside, it is enhanced by enormous Velux windows, which give a lovely view and make the place as light and bright as can be.  This bijou holiday home has been most comfortably furnished and well appointed by the Duchess herself, and now is ready to receive not just golfers, but anyone who seeks a holiday in gracious and peaceful surroundings.

For you are surrounded here not just by golf courses, but by delightful woodland walks.  You can also drive round the estate tracks and walk across the dunes to the sea shore, where there are deserted sandy beaches, perfect for picnics, and caves to explore.  From there, you will be able to see, just a short distance along the coast, Fidra Island, now an RSPB wildlife reserve and reputedly the inspiration for R L Stevenson's Treasure Island.

In fact, in this part of the world, ornithologists are just about as well catered for  as golfers!  The attractive seaside town of North Berwick is just a couple of miles from the house, and is home to the Scottish Seabird Centre, where you can spend a most interesting day. From there you can watch on screen all the activity on the nearby Bass Rock, one of the premier seabird sanctuaries in the country.  Or why not take one of the boat trips and see it all for yourself?  North Berwick is also a popular base for sailors and canoeists.

The East Lothian coast has many attractions - Dirleton Castle is just along the road, Dunbar Castle; Tantallon Castle is just beyond North Berwick, while down the coast  beyond Cockburnspath, there is the ruin of Fast Castle, where the dramatic situation more than compensates for the fact that there is very little left of the castle itself!  Inland you can head into the Lammermuirs, or visit the Museum of Flight at East Fortune or the Myreton Transport Museum. Lennoxlove House which is home to the Hamilton Collection is in Haddington and is open three afternoons per week.  Edinburgh is easily accessible by train from North Berwick so a day there (or several, if the Scottish capital is your prime objective, yet you would prefer somewhere quiet to come back to after a day's sight-seeing)  will also be an essential part of a stay at Archerfield Neuk. 

As you would expect from an area which is regularly visited by the Great and the Good of the golfing fraternity from all over the world, there is an excellent range of restaurants in the vicinity, while the nearby small town of Gullane also has a most interesting range of shops and a wonderful delicatessen.

 Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all INCLUDED in the rental.  Sorry, no pets and smoking is not permitted in the apartment.
