We were made very welcome at The Bonnie Badger by all the staff who were very friendly. The room was beautifully clean - gorgeous bath! We travelled with our dog and she was also made very welcome - a bed and bowl were provided. We were absolutely delighted that Maisie was also welcome in the Stable Restaurant as we had thought we may only be able to eat in the Bar area. The food was exquisite for both of our evening meals - the breakfast was high quality. It was lovely to have the jars with the fresh fruit and the special apple, yoghurt and home-made granola - this all made such a welcome change to the usual breakfast buffet approach of other hotels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - whilst it was busy, we still felt it was peaceful and private. Thank you to everyone at the Bonnie Badger.

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 staff were friendly helpful and caring. We had an excellent meal served in good time by a friendly attentive young man who made us feel welcolm.
I have stayed at the Goblin a number of times this year having enjoyed the many seaside walks in the area and and would recommend this hotel. Just think on this occasion we were unfortunate to have been given a budget room but considering the price and staying only one night it was a fair compromise and hope to return to enjoy this wonderful area.
Superb country hotel without all the modern "rubbish" Absolutely nothing to fault, although might be difficult for some because a lot of stairs. The location for a stopover travelling north or visiting Edinburgh is unbeatable. The fantastic price is perhaps because of the location, might be hard for Chelsea Tractors.
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.
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.
The hotel had been left to run down but recently it’s been taken over and the couple who now run it are doing their best to bring the property back up to a good standard . The food was tasty and of good quality .
Great old country pub/hotel, dog friendly (even tho we didn’t bring ours) amazing pub and top class homemade food in restaurant. ideal location to visit Edinburg and other local areas, amazing helpful staff.
very friendly staff. the food at the evening meal was exceptional and great cooked to order breakfast . bed was very comfy
liked the old fashioned charm and nice change from branded hotels
Gifford is a lovely Scottish village although there are limitations with any kind of activities and without a car i would probably never have stayed there
