Moments, mastered
The idea behind The Leddie was simple: let’s do the basics, brilliantly. Too often, hospitality can feel overdone, with fussy food, excessive decor, and confusing concepts. Instead, we’ve decided to perfect the things we’re all after, with a focus on carefully designed details, character and above all, authenticity.
Our beautiful Aberlady landmark was first constructed in 1638. In 1970, the building was transformed into a hotel, incorporating the schoolhouse next door. For its new chapter as The Leddie, we’ve stripped the building back and restored it to its former glory, preserving many of the authentic period features and its historic charm.
There’s nothing quite like getting back to base at the end of a long day – so each of our sophisticated, stylish rooms has been designed to put comfort front and centre. Get ready for rich, refined textures. Soft muted tones. Gentle lighting and oh-so-soft beds. These rooms were made for supreme relaxation: this is your sanctuary. Warm, welcoming, and always ourselves, our team are natural hosts, going out of our way to make guests feel at ease.
We understand that getting the little things right goes a long way, and it’s the small details that leave a lasting impression. We pride ourselves on our attentiveness and care — and we’re always on the lookout for ways to be even better. The relaxed ambiance of our restaurant and bar offers inviting nooks, comforting flavours and the warmest welcome. Whether you're joining us in the restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can expect beautiful dishes served in elegant surroundings and the most relaxed vibes.
Our menu changes with the seasons, but it will always be curated to showcase local suppliers and fresh ingredients — with no fuss. This is food you'll want to come back to again and again.
The village of Aberlady is in the perfect location, only 30 minutes from the city of Edinburgh. Brimming with an inspiring coastline, natural landscapes, world class golf courses and animated wildlife, East Lothian is a place to don your walking shoes and embrace the great Scottish outdoors.
