The building looks lovely from the outside, however there was some niggling problems, no staff to meet and greet or issue keys and rooms, just email instructions to use door key fob for access to the building and rooms, quite steep stairs especially for us who struggle with stairs, in my room, the toilet seat was loose to sit on, single bed wasn't very comfortable and duvet barely covered the bed

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.

This was an ideal small hotel with a great location and great service from the owners ie room made up each and complimentary buffet breakfast in the room also each day. Our room was quite small but everything was in place and very cleàn. An ideal location close to beaches within walking distance and plenty of on road parking close to the hotel. Would recommend tò friends and family.

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.
