Location
The Studio is part of a quiet secluded residential area built in the old steading at Spittalrig, an arable farm in the verdant rolling East Lothian countryside a few miles from the bustling historic county town of Haddington. Located just off the A1 the Studio is 25 miles from Edinburgh International Airport and 16 miles from the city by road. By train, Edinburgh is only 20 mins away from Longniddry train station which is itself 15 mins drive or 45 mins by foot along the nearby old railway line walk, one of the many cycle routes that crisscross East Lothian. With the beautiful white sand beaches of Gullane and Yellow Craigs or the extensive hill Walking available in the Lammermuir or on the Pentland Hills a world of nature is only ever a short drive or bike ride away. The county hosts a number of well-known golf courses such as Muirfield and Archerfield and Haddington has its own golf course as well as a swimming pool and sports centre facilities.
The town itself has a great selection of pubs and restaurants and artisan shops, a Tesco and Aldi supermarket and once a month a street market where a wide variety of locally grown produce can be bought. There are excellent schools in the area at primary and high school levels with Compass School and Loretto Academy providing options for private education. Overall, East Lothian has a tremendous reputation and with nearby town North Berwick winning a Sunday Times 'best place to live in the UK ' award this year it speaks highly of the county overall.
