In 2020 we started work to develop some of the retail space and stock rooms into another apartment which we have named Tregarth. We now market the two properties together as North Berwick Holidays. Our aim is to allow visitors to enjoy the delights of North Berwick, which remains a fantastic seaside resort and visitor destination, befitting its long-established nickname of “The Biarritz of the North”.

It is recorded that a Prayer Meeting House was established on the site in 1778, the members of which eventually formed the congregation of the Abbey Church that was built further down the High Street in 1868. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1608133245402-F8P9TCM9ER1B7PAPAENH/Westgate_189.JPG About When we took over, it was a gallery, gift shop and coffee shop, as it still remains, but in a very different style. As well as transforming the business through developing the café and injecting new life into the gifts and arts, we started our holiday letting business, which since the sale of the gallery in November 2024, is now our main business activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1608133411632-5FQ0D0J8KVX3RQIBKILJ/westgate+exterior+blue.jpg About In a departure from its religious beginnings, the site became a mercantile hub when in the second half of the 19th century, the Auld family built up a joinery and cabinet-making business that rode the wave of North Berwick’s growing reputation as a seaside and golfing resort. From furnishing the grand summer residences of the great and good and leasing out beach huts every summer season, to making coffins for those past enjoying the balmy sea air, Wm Auld & Son became a local institution. Sadly, with the demise of British seaside resorts the business eventually contracted, with the old cabinet-makers’ shop changing hands several times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1602754502512-EY1BJHO9XWB1KR7NJ11U/josh-nuttall-XVTWFHcNIko-unsplash+%281%29.jpg About https://northberwickholidays.co.uk/tregarth daily 0.75 2024-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1608032946528-9L1YVLON66M5WC27ZNC8/Westgate_115.JPG Tregarth -

Also nearby are Gullane, Archerfield, Luffness, Dunbar, Kilspindie, Craigielaw and Musselburgh, to name but a few. Although a relatively short distance away as the crow flies, the “home of golf” at St Andrews on the other side of the Forth is a longer trip by road but is still easily accessible as an outing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1608029299840-AZG9UON2Y5RVTR9AVYSI/Glen+Golf+Course+and+Bass+Rock Golf North Berwick has 2 golf courses in the town itself: the West Links that is just seconds from the holiday apartments and the Glen Golf Club at the east end of the town. Both offer challenging tests for the golfer, with the added benefit of some of the most spectacular views in golf. https://northberwickholidays.co.uk/history daily 0.75 2021-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1611758530202-LXVZOH3C5IMNB4F7J9C7/xavier-coiffic-c5vukNy-3sE-unsplash.jpg History & Places of Interest West of North Berwick in the village of Dirleton sits Dirleton Castle and it’s beautiful gardens. This magnificent fortress–residence served three successive noble families over 400 years. Badly damaged in Cromwell’s 1650 siege, Dirleton’s fortunes were revived by its new owners in the 1660s. Both Tantallon and Dirleton Castle’s require visitors to purchase tickets. North Berwick and wider East Lothian has provided the backdrop and inspiration for many hit films and television shows including Under the Skin starring Scarlett Johanson (Tantallon Castle) The Railway Man starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman (North Berwick town and beach) and Outlander (East Linton, Gosford Estate) to name just a few. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1611758504555-NYH65H6CDJILXMN4F9T6/tantallon+castle.jpg History & Places of Interest North Berwick has a rich history, and there is evidence of such in the local area – located near to North Berwick Law are hut circles, rich middens and a field system dating from 2000 years ago – the name Berwick itself means barley farmstead. The ‘North’ was added later to differentiate from South Berwick, now Berwick-upon Tweed. In the 14th century North Berwick became a baronial burgh under William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas, who built Tantallon Castle to consolidate his power. The ruins of Tantallon Castle perched on a cliff edge overlooking The Bass Rock remain today and can be visited 5KM East of North Berwick. https://northberwickholidays.co.uk/watersports daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1611759387855-I3WQ57TJQY50FNXTZODH/grace-ho-wXbE5KDv18o-unsplash.jpg Watersports East Lothian offers a fantastic range of boat trips to the Bass Rock, Craigleith and Isle of May, for all ages with the opportunity to see the variety of amazing wildlife through the seasons.

You can control the Scottish Seabird Centre’s live webcams to observe the marine life in its natural habitat; the Bass Rock is famed as being the home of one of one of the largest single rock gannet colonies in the world. When Sir David Attenborough set foot on the Bass Rock, he described it as ‘one of the wildlife wonders of the world’! https://northberwickholidays.co.uk/relax daily 0.75 2022-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1611759634720-VEB84NO0FKDIAGG0K4AX/engin-akyurt-SMwCQZWayj0-unsplash.jpg Relax & Unwind Although North Berwick has so much to see and do, explore and have adventures – holidays are also for rest and relaxation.

We don’t know if Biarritz is known to its locals as the “North Berwick of the South”! Whether you are looking to sunbathe, swim, walk or explore you really can do it all. The West Bay is mere footsteps away from the front door of both our holiday apartments; just grab your bucket and spade, cross over the eighteen-hole putting green and you will find yourself on the beach, overlooking Craigleith island. https://northberwickholidays.co.uk/eatingout daily 0.75 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8817b7aab0951b5d642440/1611759003211-RJFI05IY9R2837XG2QT6/david-todd-mccarty-OrTjocYe1b4-unsplash.jpg Eating Out North Berwick has many independent cafes and restaurants showcasing the best of the local produce including seafood, meat and locally grown vegetables.

Turn right when you leave North Berwick Holidays, and just a 5 minute walk away is a Co-op; ideal for your grocery essentials. Keep a look out for Lockett Bro’s Wine Shop on your walk for the best choices of wine, beer, spirits and more… For a bigger supermarket shop, there is a Tesco and an Aldi on the outskirts of the town.
