Forget about the big online retailers; just drop by or give them a call. They provide personalized service that far surpasses anything you'll find elsewhere!

The quality of the rentals was impressive, and the staff was very attentive, ensuring we found wetsuits that fit comfortably. I also appreciated the helpful tips on how to get four little feet into four tiny boots! The children had an amazing time playing in the frigid North Sea for about an hour (with the air temperature around 8°C and the water about 12°C), which was longer than I had anticipated. We had a fantastic day, thanks to the great atmosphere and the excellent service from the St. Vedas team. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to rent suits and enjoy a day at the beach, or even for a surfing introduction, especially in wet weather with kids. Thank you for a wonderful day! Best, Jake

Pauline and Walter were incredibly welcoming. The hospitality tray in the room was well-stocked with plenty of tea and coffee. We also enjoyed a good breakfast, featuring excellent bacon! Honestly, the photos on the website don’t do this hidden gem justice. It's great value for money, and we would definitely book again if we need accommodation in Coldingham/St Abbs. Thank you!
