“A little hard to find. Could use a larger sign to make it more obvious where to go. Luckily we ran into shelley's husband outside and he showed us where to go and got us inside. Loved having the kitchen available to us.”

The Store overlooks picturesque Port Seton harbour just 12 miles along the coast from Edinburgh. Built in the 19th century as houses for fisherman, this property, on the end of the terrace, was once the General Store for the village. Now modernised and comfortable, the property still retains its traditional character and its large windows let in beautiful light bouncing off the sea.
Hi I am Shelley I am real home-bird, I like to bake, garden and play the piano. I also row on the sea here with our local rowing club. I love the big skies and changing seascape here on the Firth of Forth, and the great coastal walks and characterful Scottish villages. I also love going up town, Edinburgh is so close. It is such a beautiful city, such a pleasure to visit, I always feel like I'm on holiday myself.
Port Seton is a small Scottish town, very local and traditional. We have a working harbour, the small fishing boats mostly catching lobster and langoustine. Seals and cormorants are regular visitors. There are two fish-shops in the town (I work in one of them), good butchers and grocery stores, the odd art gallery, take-aways and good places for coffee. East Lothian is a relatively sunny county (for Scotland!) and has lots of places to visit, historic properties, great countryside and golf courses. Edinburgh and the Borders are both reached within half an hour.
