From the moment you arrive you will become one with the present moment as the colour, beauty and serenity of the house envelope you.
A soul enhancing experience awaits; this holiday home is the definition of a true escape.
A destination within a destination, The Secret Garden is a magnificent mid-century modern conversion of a 200-year-old gardener's cottage. Designed by renowned Scottish architect Sir James Dunbar-Nasmith, The Secret Walled Garden is a striking example of mid-century modern Scottish architecture, thoughtfully restored with contemporary comforts. It is set within five acres of beautiful and historical walled gardens.
Since 1698, ten generations of the Dalyrmple family have lived in North Berwick and family portraits, heirlooms, busts and portraits within the home highlight the illustrious family provenance. A wonderful talking point for history buffs.
Also, this home is perfect for all the Golf enthusiasts. Located in the very heart of numerous world famous championship courses. Sitting on the coast, not only playing golf but admiring the breath-taking view of the Bass Rock.
A walk around the house itself is thrilling; each room has its own sense of identity and colour palette.

The Secret Walled Garden comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests across six individually styled bedrooms - three in the Garden Wing and three in the Cottage Wing - making it ideal for extended families, groups of friends, or executive retreats.
The heart of the home is an expansive, light-filled kitchen and dining area, perfect for gathering and entertaining. A separate drawing room with a baby grand piano, a cosy TV room, and a snooker room offer multiple spaces to relax and reconnect. The layout is predominantly ground floor and includes an accessible suite, making it suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
The home enjoys a prime location with easy access to the charming and ever-popular seaside town of North Berwick, known for its stylish coffee shops, independent boutiques, and top-quality restaurants. And with Edinburgh less than an hour away, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy both coastal relaxation and the buzz of Scotland's capital.
That said, you may find little reason to leave the estate at all. Within the historic walled garden, a world of activities awaits. Pack your tennis racquets for a match on your private court, gather the family for a friendly game of snooker or table tennis, or enjoy more leisurely pursuits like croquet, boules, or a few swings at the two-hole pitching range. After a gentle stroll through the manicured gardens, younger guests will be thrilled to explore what feels like their own enchanted secret garden - hours of adventure and imagination await.
If you’re drawn to the sea, bring your wetsuit or paddleboard, as the beach is less than a mile away. Prefer a slower pace? Simply pack a towel and enjoy sunbathing, paddling, or a seaside picnic in one of Scotland’s most picturesque coastal spots.
