    Door locks were sticking and tricky to use. Mattress in bedroom a little lumpy and a bedside table only on one side.

    Excellent food for breakfast and dinner. Good location. Nice seating areas.

    Little design issues such as shelf on bathroom mirror - why not on the wall below the mirror!?

    Staff were excellent especially in the dining room at night. Good bus service to Edinburgh and North Berwick

    There was a lack of accessible plug points in the room. The bathroom was a bit austere, and a couple of hooks in there would have been useful.

    The staff were superb. Food outstanding.

    Not a negative. Hotel is popular for golfers so my wife was only lady at one point but would still recommend the hotel for all the other plus'.

    Excellent location. Lovely little town. Staff, room and food all excellent. Waitrose opposite for the day's sandwiches. We only stayed one night as we were continuing our tour but would have been happy to stay longer.

    Only issue I had was not being able to sleep for a while, with the guests above me.as their was alot of noise, and this was about 1 am. Knowing I would be up early to get breakfast then check out.

    I loved my stay and my room was perfect for the price I paid. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere of the place was perfect. The restaurant was lovely and the food was amazing and so was breakfast, atmosphere was lovely. Surrounding area was perfect for a walk to the beach and up the nature trial. I really loved my stay and would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Aberlady.

    Bar prices bit expensive not a great deal to choose from on restaurant menu food expensive for what it was found the food not to be anything special for the price paid just found everything to be overpriced for the establishment I know the cost of living has spiralled but i don't mind paying for what something is worth

    Comfortable bed and service from staff

    Nice destination hampered by incomplete renovations and noise.

    Some of the rooms have been updated - but not ours. The prices they are charging are probably reasonable for a modern room but not for the room we were in, which was very dated and scruffy. The bed in particular was very bad, composed of two small mattresses of different heights. The bathroom was also past its glory days. The worst element was the proximity of our room to the bar. A live band played until round 12.30 am, and we could hear it very clearly. This was not something we expected from a rural country hotel themed around the local nature reserve and golfing links!

    Aberlady is a stunning location overall, and the Duck's Inn is at the center of it. There's a good convenience store across the road and the Duck's Inn bar and restaurant are both great. Both the included breakfast and the evening dining were excellent.
