We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay again. Great location within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants and the seashore. Beautiful walks along the shore in each direction, and it was fun to be so close to the harbor. There are two levels of stairs - one to get up to the home and another level of stairs to the bedrooms - so not the place for those with mobility concerns.

We loved our week long stay at Morag's home. The pictures of the home are exactly how it looks. The home is a short walk to the bus stop and train station which we used frequently to get to Edinburgh or the other surrounding towns. While there the European Stone Stacking Competition was taking place which was an added bonus. There was a coffee truck and 2 seafood trucks right outside the front door which we visited frequently. In the evenings we could watch the sunset over the sea while listening to the Kittewakes get ready for bed. Everyone in the town of Dunbar is just lovely and helpful. We would stay again!

Perfect for us
Our home away from home was perfect for us. Our host kept us informed throughout our stay. Its location was perfect with a beautiful harbor and several great restaurants within easy walking distance. If stairs are a problem gor guest they should be aware there are several. I highly recommend this location.

Right on the harbour side with main street, leisure centre and station ( main line to Edinburgh) all in walking distance. Delightful walk along seafront and plentiful bird life to observe. Comfortable, warm accommodation and responsive host who dealt with minor problem instantly. We would be happy to return.

Christmas Week
The flat suited our needs and we had an enjoyable week needing only to use the flat predominantly in the evenings and of course staying at night. The negatives for us were that we were staying from 22nd to 30th December yet there was absolutely no Christmas decorations at the property which was an absolute shame. the flat would have been a much cheerier place with even just a tree and lights! We found the sitting/living area a little bare - it could do with a rug on the floor. Additionally the property is behind the lovely cottage that you show on the picture of the property which was a little deceptive. We only make these comments so that the owner can perhaps take them on board for the future and stress that taken as a whole the flat was clean and warm it being December.

Good points: location, good standard furnishings etc., near local pub!
Not so good: long flight of stairs from bedrooms to bathroom, only brief details of articles provided eg hair dryer, some plugs difficult to use as blocked by carpet
Disappointed no views of harbour from apartment

Amazing trip to Dunbar
The apartment was exactly as described. It felt like home from the first moment we arrived. The location is incredible, right on the harbour and within a short walk to the town and shops. Morag is an excellent host who helped our trip to go very smoothly. We can’t wait to come back ! Jackie and Todd.

Wonderful apartment in a great location
The apartment is warm, cosy, quiet and in an ideal location - just walk over the road and the sea is there, while the shops on the high street are just a short walk in the opposite direction. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and the bed is very comfortable. The only minor drawback is that there are no windows facing the seafront, but that’s all.

Lovely house, great location, weirdness with neighbors
Dunbar is a lovely harbor town that is perfect for exploring the John Muir way and beyond. The rental itself is perfect for two people, perhaps a stretch for more. We were a little alarmed when we received a message from the owner re: the downstairs neighbors to the effect that we should not use the washer after 5 p.m. It appears that the neighbors don't really care for the renters. Yikes! I don't want conflict on vacation. We walked in stocking feet as softly as we could so as not to ire them. Did we succeed? I'm not really sure because they always look a little grumpy. Despite this weirdness, we enjoyed our stay.

Great stay😊
Wonderful stay. We loved staying within steps of the active harbor! Something always going on! Even a nice ceremony which included bagpipes for the 65th anniversary of the Sea Cadets. Everything was clean, comfortable. All the appliances worked fine. Convenient for doing our own cooking and laundry. The busy, main street of Dunbar was just a short walk up the hill. Getting to Edinburgh was a quick 25 minute train ride. Would definitely recommend this rental apartment.

Superb location and authentic
The apartment had everything we needed. After a day of adventuring you could count on a terrific sleep as the beds were so comfortable.
As it states, a unique apartment on the harbor. Out the front in the morning a lovely coffee stand while you watch the boats and birds.
Very relaxing accommodations.
