my husband and I went to dunbar to carry out my mothers last wishes that her ashes be spread off the coast of dunbar in the north sea.So this was a very emotional time for me but Peter and Linda made the whole thing so much easier . We arrived around noon after a red eye flight and a 3hour drive from Glasgow airport( should have taken an hour and a half but first time driving in U.K.) Linda made us tea and sandwiches and delayed her vacuuming so we could get some sleep also asked Peter not to use the lawnmower.The next morning after a wonderful breakfast she gave me an orchid to say good by to my mum and told us the best place go as the tide was out , also told us no rush to check out. When we were leaving she was driving same people into dunbar to a wedding so they would be able to drink , For all this we paid only 90 pounds no extra charge for the sandwich and tea. The room was large and beautifully decorated with a large modern shower . This is the first time I ever stayed in a B&B ant it certainly will not be our last Thanks so much Peter and Linda

I came across Thortonloch House whilst looking for a place to stay when attending a wedding at Dunglass Estate in September 2011. Communicating with the owners, via email was extremely easy and had everything booked with them within a couple of short messages. 

Even though I only managed to arrive there at around 10pm, Linda was waiting for me to show me to the room and offer me a cup of tea. My room was a double with ensuite which was immaculately clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing with eggs freshly laid by the chickens in the garden! There was a wide variety of options for breakfast if a full English (or Scottish!) is not your thing.

I stayed for two nights and was made very welcome throughout my stay. As there were a few of us staying there for the wedding, Linda very kindly offered to run us to and from Dunglass which was short car journey away. She also gave me a lift to Dunbar station in the morning!

The beach is just a short walk away from the house so very handy if you are looking for some sea and sand! 

All in all, I would highly recommend a stay at Thortonloch House as you couldn't ask for a better welcome or service during your stay. The rooms are extremely well presented and the breakfast is fantastic! 

We stayed here for 2 nights for a friend's wedding at the nearby Dunglass Estate. Linda was very accommodating allowing us to have a late breakfast on both days (full English cooked on an aga) to tide us through the festivities / allow us to have a lie in afterwards! Linda also very kindly drove us to and from the wedding and provided an iron and hair dryer for getting ready. I think she would also pick up/drop off at Dunbar train station if asked (4 miles away).

Our room didn't have a sea view but was very comfy and spacious. My only criticism would be that the tea/coffee facilities were limited and not replaced for our 2nd night.

We loved being close to the sea and went running and swimming both mornings. The area has its own 'microclimate' due to its shelteredness and was considerably warmer than Edinburgh the day we were there, sunning ourselves on the beach watching fisherman haul in sea bass attracted by the warm water flowing from the nearby power station (don't worry it's a Blue Flag beach!). The John Muir way also goes right past the house and Thorntonloch would be a good stopover for walkers.

Myself and two friends stayed here in August 2011 while doing a charity bike ride from Leeds to Edinburgh. The B & B is beautiful & clean, a welcoming place that instantly feels like home, which is just as much down to the owners Peter & Linda. The went above and beyond any expectations anyone could ever have of any host. 10/10!!
