Seaview House
A stylish farmhouse set within the Dunglass Estate with a summer house, firepit, and hot tub to boot.
The handsome, and aptly-named, Seaview House takes pride of place within the beautiful Dunglass Estate - 5,000 acres of woodland, parkland, landscaped gardens and a thriving sustainable farm set on the picturesque East Lothian coast. Located less than an hour’s drive from Edinburgh, Seaview House puts the great city as well as the region’s celebrated beaches, golf courses, historic towns within easy reach.
Seaview House is Dunglass Estate’s elegantly converted Georgian farmhouse, a handsome stone building with towering 12-pane sash windows that benefits from a private driveway, lawns and a gravelled courtyard. Encompassing four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, and inviting living area, the house also boasts a self-contained annexe, with a bedroom, shower room, sitting room and kitchen - ideal for grandparents or particularly independent children!
The perfect home for mixed generation groups, the ground floor of Seaview House offers a spacious, fire-warmed sitting room, a large light-filled kitchen with seating at the island and a dining table for eight guests, a utility room with separate hob, and a cloakroom. The annexe abuts this floor. Upstairs, there’s a generous master bedroom with en-suite shower room and two bedrooms with zip and link beds, which share access to a bathroom (with a shower over the bath).
In addition to being able to enjoy access to the expansive Dunglass Estate, Seaview House guests benefit from spacious private grounds. There are manicured lawns for children and dogs to tumble about on, a summer house, an outside dining area with barbecue and fire pit and – possibly our favourite bit – a large seven-person hot tub.
For larger parties able to holiday together, Seaview House cottage can be let with three cottages Willow, Laurel and Birch (all three bedrooms) and the captivating Treehouse (one bedroom), all of which sit just a few hundred yards away.

OUTSIDE
The property benefits from a large lawned garden which is divided into three distinct spaces:
To the right side of the property is a hot tub (7 person), to be accessed only via the utility room, which leads to the rear courtyard and gate to the side of the house. Outdoor furniture. Separate towels are provided. There is a separate outside WC for guest use.
Important - the water of the hot tub is emptied at the end of every guest stay, therefore please note that the water temperature may not be heated to the desired temperature on the day of arrival. This can take 24 hours to heat fully, therefore may not be fully useable until the day after arrival. It is also important to note that the hot tub needs daily testing and this will require attendance by a member of the maintenance team on the estate. This is essential for health & safety purposes therefore if guests are not agreeable to daily checks, then regrettably the hot tub would have to be removed from use for the duration of the stay. Please contact us if you have any concerns.We are awaiting images of the new hot tub.
Immediately in front of the property is a large lawn with summer house with covered porch area and rocking seat. Inside, the summer house has a large sofa and pair of armchairs, coffee table, dining table to seat four and small wood burner (with initial supply of logs provided).
The lawn then extends round to the left side / towards the rear of the property and has a large tree with swing. There is a sunken firepit area with outside seating and a deck area with outdoor dining for eight guests.
There is a large gas barbecue (gas supply is provided along with barbecue cooking utensils) and outdoor concrete and brick tables / shelving for food preparation / service. Please note that this barbecue is expected to be updated to a charcoal barbecue soon.
The garden benefits from far-reaching sea views of the East Lothian coast. The wider estate extends to 5,000 acres and guests are welcome to walk and enjoy the wider area.
Access to the property is via a secure access gate which leads to a private gravelled driveway to the side of the property with ample parking.
Location
Belhaven Smokehouse in Dunbar (9 miles) offer a super range of smoked fish, meat, cheese and local produce, and there are a number of quality butchers in the area selling locally sourced meat as well as game. Andersons Butchers in North Berwick (19 miles) come highly recommended, selling pork from the locally reared Mangalica or ‘hairy pigs ‘(a Hungarian cross between domestic breeds and wild boar). There is also a traditional fishmonger in Dunbar High Street. Larger supermarket shopping can all be found in Dunbar, Haddington and North Berwick.
For eating out, there are a wide range of dining options in the area but try The Creel in Dunbar for warm, informal dining and locally sourced food and seafood, or the Rocks Hotel for their excellent seasonal menu.
Further afield, the Waterside Bistro in Haddington is a super choice for lunch or evening dining, along with plenty of lovely coffee stops along the way.
