We sometimes allow one well behaved dog but would want to talk to the owner before confirming this.
Parking is not allowed in the courtyard outside the flat. This is reserved for two of the other flats.

Pleasant apartment very clean and comfortable. Only downside the parking space is only useable for a very small car - but on street parking was nearby.Overall a very good place
We were delighted with this spacious, spotless, sunny and well-equipped apartment for our two week stay. The host was wonderful from check-in through close, offering assistance and information throughout. Highly recommend and look forward to a return.
This was a great getaway spot on the coast. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do within the town and the property itself was as listed, very clean and well kept. We enjoyed our stay!
We spent 2 nights while we were attending a wedding at Dunglass.
The apartment was clean, warm and well maintained.
The host was extremely helpful.
The apartment perfectly suited our needs.
We used Susie's place as a base for attending a wedding in the local area and it was just what we needed. Well located, all the amenities that you could need (the iron was especially helpful...) and a lovely communal space to relax and look at the beautiful view. The beds were made up as two doubles for us and our friends which was really helpful too.
We loved staying at this property, the location close to the sea and only a few minutes from the Main Street where there were shops and cafes was great. The train station was not far off for access to Edinburgh. Susie was always responsive and helpful. The accomodation had every thing we needed.

Well appointed cosy apartment located in a very quiet area by the inner harbour.
Visiting from the US to see Taylor Swift concert and spent a few lovely days in Dunbar. Really enjoyed the flat and fishing village feel. Beautiful little town.
A lovely comfortable well-appointed flat with a great view. Susie is a great host - she was very helpful and even arranged an early check in and late check out for us.
Suzanne met us and provided an overview of utilities, appliances, shower She was very welcoming. The apartment was great and the city unique and quaint.
The one thing I would suggest is more light in the kitchen.
This was our third time at the apartment-we love the view of the old harbour-the apartment is spacious comfortable and has everything you need to hand.
Susie the owner is so helpful and makes our stay a great success each time.
We enjoyed a week in this flat, which was perfect for us.
Dunbar has a great train connection to Edinburgh, so we did not use the car.
Susie is such a nice person! Thank you again!
Quiet, very clean and very comfortable. More spacious than the photographs suggest. Very close to Dunbar’s shops and restaurants and an excellent location for coastal walks. Excellent communication with the owner. A great place to stay.
Apartment is spacious and comfortable and with a lovely view down to the harbour. Susie is so helpful and welcoming. We love it and have booked to come again.
The apartment was clean and tidy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with the host was timely and clear directions given. The parking space was small but plenty of parking on the street. Lots of reminders to not be loud.
We stayed for a few days in June 2024. It's a very nice apartment, fully furnished. It's a short walk from the town's main street which has a couple of medium-sized supermarkets and several different restaurants. It's also about a 10-15 minute walk from the Dunbar train station and many bus stops for transportation options. Susie is very responsive with communications and answered all of our questions during the check in process. Would recommend staying here.
