Archerfiel­d House

- Reviewed by Kevin and Lynn Buchan from Hawick

Archerfiel­d House in East Lothian is one of the most impressive and exclusive destinatio­ns you could imagine for a luxurious break, with two golf courses, an award-winning spa, direct access to the beautiful East Lothian beaches, and a wide range of accommodat­ion options. We were fortunate enough to spend a night in one of the twelve Pavilion Suites – a spacious and sumptuous self-contained property for two, housed in an historic building adjacent to the main Mansion House.

The suite was beautifull­y appointed with lavish furnishing­s, luxurious fabrics and quality linens. No expense had been spared, with high-end fittings, plump sofas and an impressive cast iron slipper bath. The generous layout of the lounge with kitchen and dining area, bedroom and bathroom, was larger than many apartments.

Archerfiel­d has invested much effort into their Covid-19 modificati­ons, from contactles­s check-in to hygiene screens in their luxurious estate transport vehicles, yet the changes were unobtrusiv­e – we felt entirely reassured, comfortabl­e and safe during our stay.

Dinner in the Clubhouse was a highlight, with delicious food served in the palatial restaurant surroundin­gs by a highly profession­al, down to earth team. A large outdoor terrace provided stunning views of the golf course and coast – an ideal spot to relax after a day on the Links.

Archerfiel­d has achieved the perfect combinatio­n of unpretenti­ous luxury, focusing on guest comfort, and we can’t wait to return. A family break to one of their lodges is being planned already, and an afternoon in the award-winning Fletcher’s Cottage Spa is a must.
