Five rooms with a view

There is a brilliant spectrum of accommodation in East Lothian and something for everyone. I stayed at a perfect cross-section of five, and would happily recommend them all.

Craigielaw Golf Club

The Lodge here is smart, light and airy. The food is plentiful and well priced, the atmosphere informal and buzzy. A complete golfing resort in one.

Duck’s Inn, Aberlady

With an excellent menu of mouthwatering food and the friendliest service, this characterful and lively golfcentric pub with rooms is a wonderful place to stay.

The Dunmuir Hotel, Dunbar

This Victorian, redsandstone, ever-improving family hotel is very welcoming and blends old-world charm with a modern approach.

Garleton Lodge, Haddington

An extremely wellappointed, stylish and comfortable B&b/small hotel set up in the hills, with sensational views along Scotland’s Golf Coast.

The Marine, North Berwick

Resplendent again following an extensive refurbishment, this classy hotel and restaurant overlooking the West Links offers a taste of the high life.
