Papa Jim's Cottage is a home from home holiday rental set in the beautiful historic village of Dirleton. Nestled between North Berwick & Gullane. (MINIMUM STAY 2 NIGHTS) This house is on one level with two bedrooms and one bathroom. It has a full kitchen with all you need to cook if you need to. A small but secure south facing private garden. Free parking at the door. The house is complete with a TV, books and games for all ages. Bringing a baby, we can supply a travel cot and a high chair. In the colder months a lovely fire awaits you.
We live right next door so able to assist with all your holiday requirements where needed. Our local knowledge is priceless!!!! We can point you in the right direction for most things, drop us an email beforehand so we can find the information for you to save you some time whilst you are here.
Dirleton is a beautiful village. For food, within walking distance, there is The Open Arms, The Castle Inn and Archerfield Walled Garden. For beautiful views walk a mile from the house to Yellowcraig Beach, take a dip in the Firth of Forth. Embrace the history of Dirleton Castle. Play bowls, there's a green within the castle walls. Love golf, there is 22 courses within East Lothian including Muirfield, Renaissance, North Berwick West and The Glen to name but a few. Nearby North Berwick has a direct train link to Edinburgh city centre. The house itself is on a bus route. There is so much to offer nearby the list is endless, but this area suits everyone, so many walks, golf courses, wild swimming, shopping, eating and drinking. Or a cosy comfy house to just relax.
