Best Five Star Hotels in Gullane

Booked the Dinner, B&B package on offer. Friendly welcome from the manager who also kindly carried our bags up to our room. Our room overlooked the delightful gardens albeit the weather did not show them off to their best. We enjoyed a cup of tea in the library beside the roaring fire. Dinner itself was an absolute joy! Being Valentines we were presented with a delicious champagne cocktail made up from Secret Garden Gin and Rose Champagne. We were then given some amuse bouche including smoked salmon and caviar and a little tartlet. My starter of crab was absolutely wonderful. The ingredients that went with the crab resulted in the freshest flavours that burst in the mouth. For main pork loin was served. This was the nicest pork I have ever tasted as it was moist and succulent and literally fell away when cut. Again the accompaniments worked perfectly with this dish. A pre-dessert was served which again could not be faulted. The main dessert itself of hot apple souffle with a caramel sauce and mango sorbet were enjoyed by us both despite thinking we could not possibly manage to eat anything else! This was not the end of the meal as coffee was offered along with some petit fours. I have to say that the entire meal was one of the best I have had in a long time and I cannot praise the chef highly enough. Overall this is a delightful hotel with lovely friendly staff and I would recommend it to anyone. I know many reports state the hotel is a bit ”tired” but this is a fairly old manor style building that has its own special charm which for me is ideal.
