Superb and again, absolutely driven by the staff member we spoke to he was fantastic.
Pros:

The staff member we spoke to was absolutely superb. I can't remember the man's name but he was absolutely phenomenal, great host, attentive, informative and really accommodating. It was very much a whistle stop trip from us but he offered to make and leave our breakfast out in takeaway bags and gave us some really helpful advice on where to eat/what will be open after our round of golf. Couldn't recommend this place more and thank you again for being such kind and genuine staff! The rooms were also great too, spacious and comfortable!

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans cet hôtel à Aberlady et avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. L’emplacement était idéal pour profiter de la région et notamment découvrir les nombreux parcours de golf de l’East Lothian.

Le personnel a été particulièrement gentil, accueillant et aux petits soins pendant toute la durée de notre séjour. Nous nous sommes sentis très bien accueillis et avons vraiment apprécié leur disponibilité et leurs petites attentions.

Une très bonne expérience, nous recommandons sans hésiter cet hôtel !

Crap.
Pros:

Staff and location

Cons:

Bed was like sleeping on a bag of coal. Outside window was fixed open. Buses etc accelerating up the road outside kept us awake all night. We cancelled second night as we could not face a second night under those conditions. Due to hotel “system” they could not refund the second night.

All in all a very unsatisfactory stay.
