My husband and I and our “travel buddies” couple stayed in Firth View for the month of September 2024 and we loved it. The house is large enough for two couples to stay for that length of time and not feel crowded. The kitchen is nice and very homey. There is enough dinnerware and equipment to make meals, which we did about 50% of the time. The washer and dryer are in another building behind the kitchen, and the equipment is nice and up-to date. Plenty of starter cleaning products were included in the kitchen and laundry. The living room/lounge is very large and has a larger flat screen TV and plenty of seating.
The town of North Berwick (pronounced “Bear-ick”) is a perfect “landing place” if you are interested in exploring the East Lothian and Fife regions. The towns of Anthruster, St. Andrew’s, St. Monan, Gullane, and Dunbar are nearby and reachable with a car. The train line, which ends in North Berwick, connected us to Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as other small towns. We rented a car and spent several days at Hadrian’s Wall in northern England. We were in this area for the golf courses, walking the John Muir Trail (yes, John Muir was born in Dunbar and lived in Scotland before moving to the western US!), exploring the beautiful coastline, and finding beautiful castles. Firth View was there waiting for us as our home for 4 weeks, and it delivered on all points.
