What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Set in a 17th-century inn, it has been renovated with a light touch using mossy greens, delicate wool throws, and the occasional wink of tartan.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Aberlady sits along the East Lothian coast, surrounded by tidal nature reserves and half a dozen links courses.
The rooms
Bedrooms lean into muted sage walls and textured Scottish wools, pairing bespoke headboards with quiet coastal light.
The Leddie Restaurant
Caramel leather banquettes line the wood-paneled dining room. The kitchen turns out seasonal Scottish dishes and fresh coastal seafood.
At the table
Brass taps pour local draughts at the oak bar, and drinks carry outdoors to tables beneath the garden pergola.
How it began
The inn takes its name from the local Peffer Burn, joining a 1638 building with the village schoolhouse next door.
