Marine North Berwick

Chandeliers and parquet floors in a grand Victorian pile overlooking the Firth of Forth, about an hour from Edinburgh. Marine North Berwick is an upscale golf hotel with a full-service spa, a dark-wood bar built for long afternoons, and rooms dressed in carved headboards and extravagant wallpaper. Floris toiletries in the bath, because of course. The views across the links toward the water do most of the heavy lifting.
