Turn right here into Lochhouses and follow the road past the row of farm cottages until you come to the farm yard. Stay on this road through the village of Tyninghame until you see a sign in the field on the right which reads “Stewarts Turf”, at the bottom of that field you will see the sign for Lochhouses. Stay on this road past the East Linton turn-off and past the next 2 signs which read “Knowes”, take the next road left at the signpost which reads A198 to North Berwick, Tyninghame and Whitekirk. Exit at the 2nd Haddington sliproad signposted to East Linton.When you come to the roundabout off this sliproad, take the 2nd exit to East Linton on A199. Take the City Bypass dual carriageway from Edinburgh (signposted to Berwick-upon-Tweed).

Main road turn off: ///įrom the North of Edinburgh and Edinburgh

Dropping into the city is simple enough if you fancy it - take the train from Dunbar station (ten minutes’ drive) and you’ll arrive at Waverley, with the castle, the Scott Monument and the spectacular crags surrounding you. There are boat trips out to see the gannets at Bass Rock, the Glenkinchie distillery for picking up a smoky souvenir of single malt, or the famous Rosslyn Chapel nearby for a more contemplative excursion. You can even add a touch of glamour to your beach trip with a trot through the surf, in the company of the neighbouring riding stables. There’s plenty around to work up an appetite too, with miles of paths across the dunes and through the trees as well as the massive sweep of sand for some blustery, scenic hiking. There you’ll find the farm’s own veg and home-cooked meals ready for the oven, so you can heat them up and not waste a minute of exploring time. The six cabins at Lochhouses Farm are each self-contained spaces, sharing only parking (about a minute away), the campfire area the general open space in the dunes and the on-site shop, which was once a fishing boat. The kitchen has a wood-burning stove for heating and cooking and you can eat at the big breakfast table or out on the deck in the fresh air, lighting the brazier if it gets chilly. At the back you’ll find your shower and loo. The sofa in the main living space becomes a second double and the main double and bunks are in rooms past the kitchen area. Throw back the doors and the fresh, salty air flows in perfectly complimenting a nautically themed space of striped fabric, boat-shaped shelving and a cupboard bed that feels like a ship’s quarters.

You step down off the deck of this lovely bright cabin, straight into the sand, with the sound of the sea just over the dunes in front of you.
