A great place for a stay in North Berwick

The room was clean and welcoming and bright. It's furnishings were modern and new. There was a well stocked snack basket and the Tunnock's mallow on the pillow was a welcoming touch. The hotel is situated across the road from the beach and minutes away from shops and restaurants. I would gladly return for a stay in The Folly.

It would be good if there were more places like that for people who simply need a decent room and shower for the night. It's a self-check in/out with a door code sent to your phone, but it does the job.

Delightful, quirky hotel. Easy self check-in. Might like more history of the place - i gather it was a fire station and the name folly and the owl connection. Always good to have stories.

A decent stay

It was a nice and quaint hotel, just a little pricy for the condition it was in, though I think that’s due more to location, which was worth the price. The owners were helpful and very friendly. The chocolate mallow that was left on my bed was delicious. The walls are very thin, which can be counter productive to sleeping, and a fan would have been nice in the room, but overall, a decent place.
