I'm just back from two night's away at the Macdonald Marine Hotel in North Berwick with hubby and my mum and dad. We had a really nice stay - had lovely beach walks, hit the boutique shops in North Berwick and ate great food.
North Berwick is a seaside town approximately 25 miles from Edinburgh. We regularly come here for day trips and normally stop for lunch at The Lobster Shack.
Our rooms were way up on the top floor with wonderful sea views (my dad loved watching the golfers on the course between the hotel and the sea).
And in the bathroom nice Arran Aromatics toiletries.
We ate some lovely meals including goats cheese with ratatouille, market fish which that day was plaice and vanilla pannacotta with pineapple and mango. The food was really delicious and the staff friendly and welcoming with the service being excellent.
We also ventured to Gullane and visited Falko for coffee and cake - raspberry gateau for me with a mocha. Yummy. There is also a Falko in Bruntsfield. See more details here.
I bought some Root candles which smell amazing and have a wooden wick (Westgate Galleries) and outerhebrides soap (Old Smiddy in Gullane).
Here's the beauty products I took with me..
and the make up..
Had a really nice trip and can't wait to go back! Have you been on a short break recently?
