Relaxing stay in North Berwick
Pros:

I stayed at Nether Abbey Hotel for a couple of days from 7/11/25. The hotel is in a very pleasant part of NB within 10 minutes of town centre. I was warmly welcomed by mine host, Marius (hope spelling right). My room, the breakfast and dining/bar area were all splendid. The food was excellent. The main purpose of my stay was to visit the East Fortune air museum and my visit there was brilliant especially as it included one of the original Concordes. It's about 15 minutes drive from the hotel. All staff were most friendly and helpful. I planned to watch the Rugby match between New Zealand & Scotland on 8/11/25. Marius suggested I watch it in the large bar/dining area of the hotel. I did so and enjoyed the game on the big screen with many others. Sadly NZ beat us! A thoroughly enjoyable couple of days. I will return.

Comfortable rooms, great location.
Pros:

Location is great. Short 5 min walk to the station and 35mins on train to Edinburgh or less than 10 min walk to the fantastic beach. Left the car in the hotel car park all weekend. Room warm and comfortable with tea, coffee, hot chocolate (rare!) and biscuits. Staff very friendly and eager to please. Bar was welcome after a long day out and about with sport shown on the TV. Would definitely stay again. North Berwick is a lovely town to walk about with a harbour, history, independent shops and plenty of places to stop for a meal or a drink.

Cons:

If we are being very critical, instead of new individual shampoo/shower gel bottles in the bathroom, there were large bottles which had been refilled so many times that the labels had rubbed off. Also, there was a good choice for breakfast (which had to be ordered the day before with you stating the time you would be down) but the porridge was lukewarm both mornings and some items of the cooked breakfast were either overcooked or not hot enough.
