A very welcoming accommodation. Staff were very helpful before arrival and were able to accommodate our request for an early check-in. The lodges were very peaceful with a beautiful view of the countryside and of course the cows. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the water pressure was great. Some cute arrival treats in the room were a lovely surprise.
With mountain views, Garleton Lodge is set in Haddington and has a restaurant, luggage storage space, bar, garden and outdoor fireplace.

I would really like to give this hotel 10 as the staff were wonderful. I commented on this on this when checking out. Then, on discovering that I had left my KIndle in the restaurant it was forwarded to me with no extra charge. I can't praise them enough! The chef even came out of the kitchen after serving our breakfast to make sure that we didn't need anything else before having his own. The waiter couldn't do enough for us. The food was excellent as well. My husband loved the haggis and black pudding!!

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. 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.
A lovely traditional hotel set in the beautiful village of Gifford.
This was our second stay at the hotel and as ever everything was perfect. The staff are particularly helpful, and Isabelle was extremely cheery and obliging at breakfast. The hotel also accepts dogs which is a bonus.
We have booked to stay against n in August!
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.
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!
The main rooms and our bedroom were nicely decorated with many interesting pictures, furniture and ornaments. The hotel had character and was spotlessly clean.
The staff were polite and helpful.
The service at breakfast was fast and the portions generous.
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.
This was a wonderful, historic hotel in a beautiful location opposite a park in a small, picturesque village. The bedroom was comfortable and there was a shower over a bath.
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
