The salt tang of the Firth of Forth greets you before you've even dropped your bags, gulls wheeling overhead and the harbour bobbing with small boats just down the lane.
Port Seton sits on East Lothian's working coastline — no frills, all charm — and Anchorage offers both B&B rooms and a camping pod for those who fancy something in between a tent and a proper bed. It suits couples after a coastal escape, walkers tackling the John Muir Way, or anyone drawn to honest seaside towns where the fish and chips are still good and the beaches stretch for miles. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so you can bring your four-legged companion along for windy clifftop strolls.
The setup's simple and the details are best confirmed when you arrive — campfire policy included. Open all year, so you can chase winter storms or lazy summer sunsets over the water. It's Port Seton through and through: unpretentious, salty-aired, and wonderfully close to Edinburgh when you need it, wonderfully far when you don't.
