The Lighthouse At St Abbs

The Lighthouse at St Abbs is a wonderfully unique holiday stay resting right on the gorgeous Scottish coastline in St Abbs, near Coldingham. Set on the edge of the St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve, these holiday homes sit above the basking waves and dramatic cliffs, making them ideal for friends, families, and couples seeking an exceptional coastal escape in the Scottish Borders. The lighthouse itself stands on the rugged promontory of St Abb’s Head, a location renowned for its sweeping cliffs and thriving seabird colonies. St Abbs Head Lighthouse, built by David and Thomas Stevenson and listed for its architectural and historic interest, has watched over these waters since 1862. Its construction followed the wreck of the Martello steamship on Carr Rocks in 1857, prompting the Northern Lighthouse Board to establish a guiding light to aid navigation around the Firth of Forth and beyond. Visitors can explore the headland’s dramatic paths, including a rewarding circuit around Mire Loch and up towards the cliff edges, where thousands of seabirds nest during the summer months. The reserve is rich in wildlife both on land and at sea; carpets of wildflowers—including sea pinks, wild thyme and rock rose—spread across the grassland, while the surrounding waters are equally full of life. A tea room and facilities next to the car park make this a convenient and memorable stop during your stay. Close by, Coldingham Bay offers a beautiful arc of sand that contrasts with the rugged cliffs, while Eyemouth presents a charming harbour and coastal village atmosphere. A short drive brings you to Berwick-upon-Tweed, known for its historic ramparts and independent shops, while Edinburgh promises an enriching day out filled with culture, history, and exceptional places to eat. With easy access to sections of the Berwickshire Coastal Path, The Lighthouse at St Abbs sits in a prime position for discovering this striking corner of Scotland. Treat yourselves to a remarkable stay at The Lighthouse at St Abbs.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
