  • Hello - We are looking to stay at your B&B to visit my Aunt who lives in Swan Court. I was wondering if the free parking is on site or whether we would need to park on the road. and also how long the walk to the Harbour from your property would be? Many thanks Kathryn

    Hi, we have one parking space on our drive and plenty of free street parking in front of our house. The walk to Swan Court is approx 10-15 minutes down Coldingham Road to the harbour. Hope this helps.

  • Hi, my husband and I are looking at accommodation for a wedding we are attending at Netherbyres. The ceremony starts at 2pm and finishes at midnight. Would it be possible to book in around 12noon? (Not necessarily to access the room, but to check-in.)

    We have an early check in option from 12 noon at £15 or you can drop your luggage off free of charge with no access to room. Hope this helps.
