Curlew Cabin, Shore Road, Belhaven, Dunbar, East Lothian, EH42 1NX
Situated on the picturesque Belhaven shoreline close to the iconic 'Bridge to Nowhere', Curlew Cabin is a beautifully renovated holiday chalet offering a rare opportunity to own a stylish seaside retreat in one of East Lothian’s most sought-after coastal locations. With panoramic views across the bay, modern interiors, and excellent outdoor space, this is an ideal coastal escape.
The cabin has been thoughtfully upgraded to create an open-plan living area with large windows framing uninterrupted sea views out to the Bass Rock. A wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point, while the sleek, modern kitchen is both practical and stylish. There are two compact bedrooms, designed to maximise space. The first features a raised, cabin-style double bunk with storage and sea views, while the second offers two single built-in bunks, with useful storage – perfect for family or guests. The shower room is well-appointed with a large shower enclosure and electric shower, a towel heater, vanity unit with basin, and underfloor heating. A ceiling window floods the space with natural light.
Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking via a gated driveway, a log store, a useful storage hut, and an outdoor shower—ideal after beach walks or water sports. There are seating areas to the front and side of the property where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine and stunning coastal views.
Curlew Cabin offers a rare chance to secure a unique, low-maintenance coastal retreat with panoramic sea views, modern comforts, and direct access to one of East Lothian’s most beautiful stretches of coast.

Location
Historic Dunbar, which is surrounded by fantastic scenery, is a vibrant thriving town with a real sense of community. There is a bustling high street with an excellent selection of independent and artisan shops, restaurants and galleries with the convenience of a large supermarket on the outskirts. There are excellent schools in the area. Private schooling is also available at Compass in Haddington, Belhaven Hill in Dunbar, Loretto in Musselburgh with further choices available in Edinburgh. The two colourful working harbours beneath the ruined castle are the hub of the town and the Harbour Trust is an active part of local life.
The Dunbar Battery has recently been spectacularly restored to create a unique open-air venue with an amphitheatre and a coastal garden. There is also a leisure centre with a swimming pool and a newly opened platinum fitness centre, two golf courses, beautiful sandy beaches, spectacular cliff top walks and the John Muir Country Park. The town is also home to Coast to Coast, Scotland’s largest surfing school. The convenience of easy access to Edinburgh City Centre by train (25 minutes) or via a regular bus service and access to the A1 and City Bypass is easy and straightforward, which combined with accessibility to Newcastle and the South by train or car adds to the appeal of this sought-after town.
