The Lodge at Craigielaw and Golf Courses

Positives- clean. Warm. Good shower. Good places to sit. Great view. Nice environment. Friendly staff. negatives - beans at breakfast. The beans were really bad. Bed a bit uncomfortable (two singles together). Breakfast a bit poor - only a few English breakfast options and cereal.

Chose to stay 2 nights to explore an area we were not familiar with and found this to be a very comfortable stay. All in relation to the cost paid, for an out of season stay we found this a good base to explore surrounding beaches, Gullane and North Berwick etc. I’m not into golf at all but if you are the whole area is just one golf course after another. The lodge itself is in the golf course/members club. The room facing the sea etc was very large and cosy. Shower room was piping hot. The bed was very large and extremely comfortable. Decor was fine, oak furniture etc. Solid and functional. I like a bath when out exploring so bit disappointing only showers but I knew this in advance and shower was good. Decor in restaurant / bar area nice and lovely Christmas lights and baubles hung on the windows gave a nice feeling. We ate two evening meals which were fine. Slightly on the expensive side for what they were. Breakfast included but could have been better. Fine if you are into full Scottish breakfasts which most golfers probably are but no choice of nice breads or pastries etc. Very handy for numerous beaches which I enjoyed with all the various rock formations and handy to visit wonderous woods light show in nearby Gosford house grounds that just happened to be on while we were there. Access to the lodge is a bit hidden and tricky on dark winter roads though.

Eight of us went on a golfing trip to Scotland. Overall, an outstanding experience (the people, golf courses, restaurants, etc). Hotel Craigielaw (near Gullane/Muirfield) was fantastic. Nice large rooms, clean bathrooms, and the staff was more than accommodating; they even did our laundry near the end of our stay. There is a golf course on the premises which makes for a good warm up round. The views are spectacular, overlooking the golf course and the bay. I highly recommend staying here

Beautiful rooms, well appointed woth glorious views beyond the golf course, across the River Forth to Leven. Staff are great . Second stay here , great for the golfers but great for walking locally too. Plenty of parking , bar and restaurant available too.
