"The Secret Cabin is magical and Lorna's attention to detail is remarkable"

Guest feedback like this means the world and is the best way to start the day 🥰

No filter necessary for such beauty on the doorstep 💚

"Perfect. Feels like coming home"

I can't ask for more than that as a run down of my last guests' return visit 😊

A little tour of the inside of the Secret Cabin in 4 photos!

The footprint of the Cabin may be small but there's plenty space inside and everything you need for a relaxing stay.

I'm fully booked over the summer months but taking bookings from September onwards. Pop over to my website to book direct. Any questions please feel free to DM

Happy guests = happy me! 😊

What's your favourite thing to do on the beach?

Think I've just found my new favourite!! 💚

13/05/2024

Through the gate, a cosy and private retreat awaits you.

There are lots of places to visit in the local area during your stay. Or, you can just switch off and unwind to the soundtrack of the woodland birds.

The loungers are waiting for you! Stargazing awaits.

I've 2 - 3 nights available in June due to a cancellation, the last dates before September! 2 or 3 nights from Sunday 23rd or 2 nights from Monday 24th, £115/night.

Book direct on my website. The link is in my bio. You never know, it might coincide with an aurora!! 💫

11/05/2024

Wow!

That was possibly the most magical thing ever!! The aurora borealis put on an amazing show last night. You could see the colours by eye, but photographed with night mode on a phone and all the colours of the rainbow appeared.

I was watching for it beside someone who thankfully told me to look south, not north, and there it was.

Incredible!

All ready for my guests who are staying for their elopement, organised by the very talented photographer

I'm pretty excited about this one as I've been asked to be one of the witnesses 🥰

This probably should have been yesterday's post with it being Earth Day, but every day, we try and do our bit to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible at the Secret Cabin.

All the amazing toiletries from are locally made and are refillable. The washing up liquid gets refilled in our local refill shop, Peppermint Beach. We even make sure the bird feed comes in plastic free packaging via Dunbar Pet Food.

Guests have the use of fluffy bathrobes and slippers during their stay, but the thought of single use, disposable slippers really didn't sit right, so I sourced washable spa slippers to reduce wastage.

The Secret Cabin is packed with little luxuries but always the most eco-friendly versions ♻️

How much fun can you squeeze into a 3 night stay at the Secret Cabin? A LOT!!!

There are so many things to do and see in the local area. If you'd like any local tips just drop me a DM or a message on your booking and I'd be happy to help

It would be rude to have a birthday stay without cake and something to toast with! 🥂

12/04/2024

I love when my guests love beach treasure too 😍

09/04/2024

Wow! What a high tide. At least these waves look calm compared to the super high storm waves of the past few months.

Happy Easter to you all! I hope the sun is shining wherever you are ✨️

Easter vibes around the woodburner for this weekend 🐣 Spotted these in yesterday and couldn't resist!! Anyone else love treasure hunting in Home Sense?

I'm very pleased to say that the Secret Cabin is now listed on the Egg Directory! It's Scotland's largest review led directory, helping customers find, and book, trusted recommendations. If you've stayed at the Secret Cabin I'd be really grateful if you could spare a minute to leave a review on there! 🙏

The Secret Cabin is a cosy hideaway for two, nestled in woodland and just a 5 minute walk to Seacliff Beach. 40 minutes from Edinburgh, it's perfect for a few days away to switch off and unwind. The Cabin is fully equipped with everything you might need plus luxury Laura Thomas Co products, fluffy r...

One of my favourite views 🧡

Driving into North Berwick at sunset last night did not disappoint! I love the view across the fields towards North Berwick Law. I spend a lot of time driving this road, taxiing my kids about to what feels like a million clubs but views like this make it all worthwhile.

What's your favourite view between the Secret Cabin and North Berwick?

It's International Day of Happiness today!

It can be the smallest things that make us happy, like waves on the beach or a garden bird merrily singing away.

What is making you happy today? 😊

28/02/2024

It's amazing what you fit in a small space (and see in the reflection on a light bulb!)!

Double bed, fitted kitchen with full size oven, double induction hob and Belfast sink, dining area and log burner.

You don't need much more than that for a relaxing break, apart from a small but perfectly formed showerroom, which is in the next room!

The light at sunset today 🧡

13/02/2024

The calendar is filling up fast for April onwards but there's still time to book yourself a stay during February and March.

Why not treat someone you love...❤️

It may be baltic and grey outside but it's cosy and bright inside at the Secret Cabin. Perfect weather for lighting the fire, snuggling up and relaxing!

Starting February with a (maybe slightly premature!) hint to spring and sunny days thanks to these beauties 🐝🌈

Any star gazers out there? 🌠

I can normally pick out Orion's Belt and the Big Dipper but that's about the extent of my stag gazing knowledge. How many constellations do you know?

When it's a clear night here, at Seacliff, you can see so many stars and I now have a little book in the Cabin to help guests identify them.

Here's to clear, calm nights for sitting out and star gazing and potentially even aurora spotting from the beach.

It's the Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend. Have you been taking part in the bird count?

The garden at the Secret Cabin comes alive with so many birds when the feeder is full. I took this photo literally just after I restocked it and the robin is always first to jump on!

I wonder how many of the different breeds can be counted here? I tried in my own garden yesterday and I'm sure there were over 20 blue t**s!!

What would you look forward to the most during a stay at the Secret Cabin?

Would it be...

Walks on the beach?
Curling up in bed with a book?
Snuggling up and watching the garden birds?
Soaking up the sun in the garden?
A game of Scrabble with your travel buddy?
Cosying up by the fire?
Roasting marshmallows on the firepit?
