Property details
The County Hotel is located in the centre of North Berwick, on the popular high street just a few hundred yards away from the stunning beach. North Berwick is a relatively small town but growing rapidly in popularity with the addition of numerous new housing developments. Affluence and age are very diverse with a slight bias towards mid/high affluence, with a high level of older adults looking for daytime and early evening options. It is also a very popular destination with tourists all year round, particularly during its own annual festival ‘Fringe by the Sea’ which attracts over 60,000 visitors.
