The Nether Abbey Hotel is well placed within North Berwick to take full advantage of the areas fine beaches, the wide variety of outdoor pursuits available, the towns sports centre (with an indoor swimming pool), and the new Scottish Seabird Centre, located at North Berwick harbour. North Berwick is a charming seaside town with sandy beaches, a picturesque harbour and a bustling high street surrounded by beautiful countryside. The area provides some of the best golf courses in Scotland. This intimate and stylish little hotel has been owned by successive generations of the same family for fifty years. In 2007 the hotel shut for extensive renovations and refurbishment with simply stunning results.
Although priding itself on old-fashioned personal service, there is nothing staid or old-fashioned about the hotel. The public areas are open plan, cool, contemporary and with all the sophistication one would expect from a city centre bar and restaurant. Guests needing to keep in touch can use the WiFi Internet access, which is available throughout the hotel. This little charming hotel started life as a grand seaside house at the turn of the 19th century. As with many buildings of this era, each room has its own character with high ceilings on the first floor and coombes and fireplaces in most second-floor rooms - the original servants quarters.
However, one thing that all twelve rooms and bathrooms have in common is that they have all been renovated to an exceptionally high standard. Each room comes with a flat-screen plasma TV with access to 85 freeview channels. All of the bathrooms are fitted out with Grohe fittings and furnished with beautiful limestone. Golf fans will enjoy the nearby opportunities to practise the sport. The hotel takes great pride in the food and drink served there, and places an emphasis on quality and fresh local ingredients.
