East Linton Flat, hotel in Dunbar

East Linton Flat is set in East Linton, 38 km from Edinburgh Playhouse, 38 km from Royal Mile, as well as 38 km from Edinburgh Waverley station.

The property was gorgeously decorated with lots of interesting items. The bed was very comfortable and the shower hot and strong. I loved the picture of Frida Kahlo, I’m becoming convinced she follows me!! I was staying here to attend a party nearby. My friends stayed in a nearby hotel and visited me here, we all agreed I got a much better accommodation for the same price!! The property was very well equipped and had absolutely everything I needed. The town itself is beautiful too, some beautiful buildings and the short stroll to Preston Mill was lovely.

    Very well kept, pretty seaside town with harbour and long stretch of sandy beach. There is a regular train service to Edinburgh (approx 20 mins) so it is easy to go and spend a day exploring the city. Good coffee shops on the high street (particularly Parkers) and a couple of local craft shops (e.g. The Makery and Found). There are lovely coastal walks especially the one round the cliff but beware on a windy day it can be quite a battle getting round!

    Dunbar is a lovely place to visit - lovely walk from the town to Belhaven Bay. Like most wee towns nowadays the town centre is a wee bit tired but there's everything you need and on a good day it's hard to beat. Great for children....the harbour area and beach are clean and well looked after

    Great town with some lovely independent shops! The Community Bakery is well worth a visit - the choice is fabulous; highly recommend the Donker rye loaf, the cheese scones, flapjack, the pies, banoffi pie... The list is endless!

    A wonderful town, with lots to do, and we were very pleased to find (unexpected) that there was music festival on). The walks were wonderful along the beaches and harbour, with a nice range of shops and cafes to visit when raining. Very friendly response from shop/cafe holders. We visited the John Muir museum which was amazing and the Town House was excellent. Not sure if there is one, but might be good to have a "food review" of the town, with options to go including the cafes, pubs and restaurants, as it felt a bit hit and miss on occasion. Aside from that, great place, we will come again next year.

    The folks at the information center where very helpful.

    The folks at the information center where very helpful. Dunbar is the birthplace of John Muir, also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States. The employee at the rail station was down right miserable and gave me a very bad impression of the Scottish people in Dunbar.

    Great sea front with cliffs, castle, historic fishing harbour (well, 3 harbours really), and chatty locals. A few top restaurants, and the usual mix of pub food and ethnic. Yes there are chip shops - one of them excellent with sit-in. Rail station with frequent service to Edinburgh. Useful bus service to North Berwick, once you have found which of the information sources has the right times AND ROUTE... Some bus stops advertise services which no longer go to that stop, and the Internet information is unreliable and out-of-date. No problem like that on the trains, but the bus is much quicker to North Berwick, and more scenic - it takes you right to the Seabird Centre on the sea-front.

    The location was convenient as it was just a short drive into Dunbar where you can find good shops and the train which can take you into Edinburgh. It has lovely views towards the sea and feels spacious and is comfortable and there is plenty of seating for relaxing and dining. Great to have dishwasher tablets, washing liquid, hand soap, tea towels etc. Spacious decking area with seating and a bbq. Sadly it wasn’t warm enough for us to use but in the summer would be lovely.

    First person I met at reception was a lovely lady that’d only been there since august, she then served us in the restaurant and we chatted for a couple of mins, every other member of staff we met were so nice, everyone was so professional and polite. The hotel was perfect for our stop over, the restaurant looked amazing and the food was honestly hands down the best food we’ve had in a long time. Credit to the chef.

    Dunbar was a great little coastal town, with easy access to Edinburgh. The Dolphin Inn had wonderful communal facilities and was immaculately clean and tidy. Breakfast items were also available every morning, including bread, butter, jam, cereal, coffee and tea. There were places to eat nearby, as well as bakeries in the town. We were able to walk a short ways down to the shore and stroll along the beach.

    Location was perfect with lots of walks on the beach and surrounding the golf course towards Dunbar where we stopped off at the Baywater Hotel in the beer garden with the dog. The chalet also had seating areas where you can get the sun all day. Everything you need in the chalet plus your own parking space which is a bonus.

    Host was very helpful in providing cot, high chair and big bag of toys for the baby plus milk and a bottle of wine. Location and view was a real joy. Dunbar has a pretty historic fishing harbour, with a good range of shops and excellent walks from the apartment Would strongly recommend.
