Driftwood truly is idyllically situated, with the beach (from which there are unlimited views across the Firth of Forth) to the front and the golf course to the rear!

Just a few miles from the centre of Edinburgh by fast train, it is an attractive and comfortable holiday home and an ideal base for exploring this part of Scotland.
Standing in its own small fenced garden (with patio area) it is double-glazed and electrically heated and is simply but cosily furnished.
This may be a compact little house, but it has been cleverly designed to make the most of the space available. In the open plan living area, the kitchen/dining part is amazingly spacious, while the comfortably furnished sitting area allows you to relax after a hard day on the sands, on the golf course or in the sea.
Perhaps Driftwood’s greatest charm is its décor, which throughout reflects its proximity to the sea. The colour scheme of blue and sunny yellow in the sitting area shades to a jaunty blue and white in the double bedroom and the shower room. It is all very bright and jolly, and puts you right in the mood for the beach outside.
From Driftwood, there is an easy walk around the coast into nearby Dunbar (all facilities). For more energetic walkers, the Southern Upland Way commences just 8 miles away at Cockburnspath.
As well as the Winterfield course behind the house, there are many excellent golf courses in the area, notably Luffnessn and, of course, Muirfield itself. Then you can finish off the day by visiting one of the gourmet restaurants which the area also boasts.
From the pretty resort of North Berwick, in the shadow of Berwick Law (14m) you can take boat trips to visit the seabird colonies on the Bass Rock.
Dramatic Tantallon Castle and Dirleton Castle with its lovely gardens are both close by, while for longer trips you are not far from the Edinburgh Bypass and its feeder motorways, which will whisk you across the Forth Bridge to the Highlands or off to the west coast with minimum effort and delay.

'Another wonderful week staying at Driftwood. We love the new addition of the front porch. It helped prevent the wind from blowing all the sand off our boots into the chalet! Hope to be back again soon.'
'Enjoyed another stay at Driftwood. Our rehomed retriever Bailey had never been to a beach & loved the sea. Both very comfortable, love the new front porch.'
'Another lovely week in Driftwood – thank you for a loan of a little bit of heaven. A good time had by all.'
'Our 3rd visit to Belhaven but first time at Driftwood. We have thoroughly enjoyed our week in this bright, welcoming chalet and have been very comfortable and relaxed. The weather has been kind to us and we have re-discovered some favourite places and visited some new ones. Still plenty left to fill another visit I’m sure! Our dog Sophie is particularly grateful that you have allowed her to stay – Belhaven is her very favourite place to be!'
'Came to Dunbar for a family wedding and decided to make a holiday of it – so glad that we did. The chalet is perfect, great location. We were in the sea with grandchildren and cycled around. We hope to be back.'
'Had a lovely stay as usual in this chalet. So unusual to stay somewhere with such a comfy bed but always have a lovely sleep in Dunbar (think it’s the air)'
'Great place to stay we have really chilled. Slept like babies with all this sea air. Lovely sunsets, a very well equipped cottage.'
'Once again enjoyed our stay at Driftwood, lovely cottage by the sea and so clean. Hope to be back next year.'
'We again enjoyed our stay at Driftwood. Your chalet is so comfortable and clean and so near the beach. Hopefully we will come back.'
'We have had a lovely week back at Driftwood. It’s been great to be back at ‘Sunny Dunny’. Our dog has had a great time on the beach.'
