Get to set to live out your very own fairytale with a stay in this lodge – set in the grounds of a 16th century tower. We love the huge windows looking out over the beautiful grounds. Take a stroll around the green lawns as you contemplate the tower's history – King James VI of Scotland once took refuge here – or perhaps take a short drive to Yellowcraig Beach, a natural cove that is said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's treasure island.

North Berwick sits on the coast and is a pretty town of colourful fishing cottages, a sweep of beach and fab seafood restaurants (try the lobster shack on the harbour).
