Room (I think it was 14?) was nice, although tv perhaps a bit small by modern standards. Good lighting for reading in bed - thankyou! Public rooms and front gardens very nice; the website showed more extensive grounds behind the hotel, but we had an evening commitment and a fairly early departure, so didn't get to look! Breakfast was fine and nicely served at table by friendly staff. Haddington is a nice small town with clearly a lot of history around the town and general region. I would like to come back to this area at some point, and this feels like a good base.

The breakfast was beautifully cooked and presented as were the meals we had in the restaurant at dinner.
The dining room was nice on two levels with a well stocked bar.
Staff were friendly and informative. One young member helped us upstairs with our luggage.
The view from the bedroom was superb over the Firth to Fife.

A suitable location for exploring East Lothian, visiting Edinburgh and, to some extent, Berwickshire. Well suited as a base for cycling/walking or as a destination given there are decent food options e.g. cafe Lantern Rouge and the hotels.
Yester castle ruins which has the "Goblins Hall" is a short walk from the town.

A beautiful untouched Scottish village.
A beautiful untouched Scottish village. Surrounded by lovely woodland and rolling hills. Near historic Haddington. A few hundred feet from the hotel are the imposing and elegant gates to Yester House. There is a nice cafe round the corner and a village shop. The church has a 17th to 18th century interior. One of the ministers emigrated and became a signatory of the American Declaration of Independence. So free-thinking!

There were no downsides to Gifford in our opinion.
There were no downsides to Gifford in our opinion. A picturesque, historic village perfectly situated for country walks, access to plenty historic castles and stunning beaches (Dirleton, Gullane, North Berwick and more) whilst also offering easy access to Edinburgh city centre. We went there by car, but there are buses into Edinburgh and a short taxi drive away there is a train station. For those with a car and an interest in Scottish history the castles at Tantallon (sadly closed at the moment for safety reasons) where the medieval powerhouse of the Douglas family lived and Direlton and Fast are worth visits in addition to the more obvious Edinburgh castle. A quiet location but with lively bars in the evenings giving an opportunity to meet local people. I recommend the atmosphere, with log fires and comfy couches, and the food at the Goblin 'Ha hotel although we didn't go in the other bar/hotel so this is no reflection on its service.

Could not comment on the Wi-Fi as did not try it out.
Could not comment on the Wi-Fi as did not try it out. Had to be at work for 8am, so couldn't try the breakfast. Room clean and comfortable, Excellent Evening Meal. Overall pleased with hotel premises.
The location was good, the village small quiet and interesting. The outside of the Hotel was really nice, the bath towels were large and soft and our evening meal was good. The owner was friendly and showed us up to our room, explaining about meals etc, but was quite offhand when we advised him that 9:30 was too late for our breakfast. The young man who served our evening meal was also friendly and attentive.
Fabulous staff friendly and helpful.
Food was very delicious in the hotel restaurant. Very fast service and staff very nice.
Around 11pm i realised i never mentioned my allergy for feathers (duck feathers pillows)
Went downstairs to check if my pillow can be swapped not even 5 minutes later lovely girl bring pillows for me😊 really nice hotel.
Lovely picturesque village with a lot of greenery, playing field, park and off licence. It felt very safe and we’d happily return for another stay during the summer. Also the beds were comfortable and the bedding was hotel standard. My wife loved the sofa and the open plan living space is perfect for families.
Lovely rural pub hotel.
Bar / restaurant available.
Good food - dinner and breakfast.
Decent rooms, comfortable bed.
Good location for East Lothian - Museum of Flight, North Berwick
Locked storage area in loading yard for bikes.

Traditional decor and furniture
Amazing hotel in a super cute and quaint village. We stayed the night before Scottish Open and location was very convenient. Rooms were spacious and clean, and staff was incredibly helpful! We had both dinner and breakfast and it was very delicious. Friendly pub atmosphere too!
It was a last minute booking, I had stayed there only 10 days before.
The hotel is a traditional old hotel with very pleasant rooms.
Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and good shower.
Dinner and breakfast excellent.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
lovely traditional hotel in a beautiful village. staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. we ate there a few times and food was good. pizza night on Friday was great idea too. Nice lounge and beer garden meant plenty of places to sit.
This was a lovely hotel with pleasant, helpful staff, a comfortable room and enormous quantities of excellent food for dinner and breakfast. It definitely passed my 'Would I stay there again' test.
