Fenton Lodge
The lodge sits within the footprint of 16th century Fenton Tower, yet nestled cleverly into the landscape to allow guests to relax, sit back and enjoy the view.
Beautifully appointed throughout, the style-led interior has been cleverly designed, drawing inspiration from nature and the gentle colours of the sea. Farrow & Ball colours have been used to great effect here, adding warmth and colour in all the right places, along with tactile furnishings in wool and linen.
French doors lead out on the patio which extends onto lawn and acres of private land for walking or just the simple enjoyment of taking in the view and doing nothing.
The lodge has an entrance porch for outdoor gear leading into an open plan living space, while the galley kitchen is divided by a floating wall which makes chat and a glass of bubbles a distinctly sociable affair whilst prepping supper.
Two sumptuous bedrooms sit either side of the living space, both with zip and link beds which offer flexibility for single guests or two couples. The two adjoining bathrooms add a touch of glamour with underfloor heating, double basins and lashings of hot water – one with a large walk-in shower and the other offering a little bath-time luxury.

Location
The nearest town is North Berwick (3 miles) where the shopping is small and friendly with plenty of quality independent traders and fresh, local producers. There are two small supermarkets with a good selection of provisions, along with a butchers shop, fishmonger and bakery. There's also a large Tesco approximately a mile away, and food deliveries can be arranged with both Waitrose and Asda.
There are plenty of places for eating out with everything from sweet cafes and ice cream parlours mixed with characterful restaurants and bars ranging from the small and intimate dining experience of Osteria; regional dishes and cocktails at The Herringbone; or the distinctly rustic outdoor experience of the Lobster Shack!
Alternatively, head to Drift just a few miles East of North Berwick. Their selection of cakes are superb, especially the chocolate Guinness cake and the heavenly carrot cake!
For more elegant dining, head to La Potinière at Gullane (4.7 miles) for superb food or the Creel Restaurant at Dunbar (12 miles) for delicious seafood and award-winning cuisine. Not to be missed is Tom Kitchin's restaurant 'The Bonnie Badger' at Gullane which is a fabulous 5 star AA restaurant using locally sourced produce washed down with artisan beers and wines from an impressive selection.
