3 bedroom Historic Cottage With View Over Aberlady Bay


The cottage of Luffness Castle, which has been completely modernised, used to be the house of one of the gardeners at the castle of Luffness. The view from its windows is over a field where sheep graze, often accompanied by deer. Beyond the field is Aberlady Bay, its nature reserve and a path leading to beautiful beaches. The sunsets are particularly memorable.

Golf is the prime reason why many people come to East Lothian. There are eleven golf courses, all of whom welcome visitors, within five miles of Luffness with many more further afield. There are also many other attractions for the visitor. The beaches and dunes at Gullane are particularly attractive for children. The Ornithological Centre in Aberlady, the Museum of Flight at Athelstaneford and the Seabird Centre at North Berwick are only three of many others.

Excellent restaurants, takeaways and public houses are to be found, within two miles of Luffness, in both Aberlady and Gullane, with many more a bit further away in Haddington and North Berwick.

Fairytale Property a 20 minute train ride to Edinburgh
We traveled with two kids under four, my spouse, and her parents. The apartment had tons of space and a nice patio as well. This cottage is literally built within the wall of the castle grounds. The very windows you look out to see the ocean and the sheep are built right into the wall. The walk around the property is fantastic. Beautiful rose gardens, herbs everywhere, and more apple trees than you can count. There are many walking trails just outside the castle walls as well. You will definitely need to rent a car if you stay here. The nearest bus stop is a 12 minute walk. So it’s doable, but not ideal if the weather is rainy. The towns around the area are really fun to explore and the restaurants in Aberlady are great. You’ll want to take the train to Edinburgh from Longniddry. It’s only an 8 minute drive to the station and a 20 minute train ride from there to the city center. You’ll love everything about this cottage, the location, and the magic of the grounds.

We had the most wonderful time. This property is excellent and the people that run / own it were lovely. We were coming back to my late Mother's home town and spect several special days here. The cottage was perfect and the grounds (which we were encouraged to enjoy) were spectacular. A very special place at a ver special time. Thank you.

Lovely
Our stay was one of a memorable one. The location of the property was excellent being within a large estate with a stunning view looking out to the ocean. It is also located very close to Gullane and North Berwick where we enjoyed shopping and some activities. We truly enjoyed the hospitality of Mr and Mrs Hope and the whole Hope family and also Michelle.

Beautiful location
The grounds of Luffness Castle were stunning and within easy walking distance of Aberlady. Would highly recommend the Duck Inn Hotel. We had a lovely meal there and great service too. There were plenty of beautiful beaches to visit in the surrounding area and would recommend trips to Gullane beach and the treasured sands of Aberlady Bay. Great barbecue facilities and outdoor eating area at the property which we made the most off in the sunshine. A fabulous stay enjoyed by all the family.

Great Visit
This is a great property I would recommend it to anyone. Everything is just as discribed. The owners of the property are great with nice suggestions on things to do in the area. The history of the property is pretty interesting. Be sure to allow time to walk around the property. Everything is modern and clean inside. I would suggest making sure and ask how the showers work, they are a little different to get started than normal.
