Room (I think it was 14?) was nice, although tv perhaps a bit small by modern standards. Good lighting for reading in bed - thankyou! Public rooms and front gardens very nice; the website showed more extensive grounds behind the hotel, but we had an evening commitment and a fairly early departure, so didn't get to look! Breakfast was fine and nicely served at table by friendly staff. Haddington is a nice small town with clearly a lot of history around the town and general region. I would like to come back to this area at some point, and this feels like a good base.

The rooms were lovely and bed comfortable. Food was amazing in the restaurant and the staff were all so nice.
The location was good too, short walk to the centre with the bars and restaurants. Location was beautiful too with lovely views of the ocean.

Close to the station, comfortable bed and great value! The staff were also really friendly and accommodating, letting me check out an hour later than advertised and store my luggage for the day. Really good value and tasty breakfast as well

A suitable location for exploring East Lothian, visiting Edinburgh and, to some extent, Berwickshire. Well suited as a base for cycling/walking or as a destination given there are decent food options e.g. cafe Lantern Rouge and the hotels.
Yester castle ruins which has the "Goblins Hall" is a short walk from the town.

A beautiful untouched Scottish village.
A beautiful untouched Scottish village. Surrounded by lovely woodland and rolling hills. Near historic Haddington. A few hundred feet from the hotel are the imposing and elegant gates to Yester House. There is a nice cafe round the corner and a village shop. The church has a 17th to 18th century interior. One of the ministers emigrated and became a signatory of the American Declaration of Independence. So free-thinking!

There were no downsides to Gifford in our opinion.
There were no downsides to Gifford in our opinion. A picturesque, historic village perfectly situated for country walks, access to plenty historic castles and stunning beaches (Dirleton, Gullane, North Berwick and more) whilst also offering easy access to Edinburgh city centre. We went there by car, but there are buses into Edinburgh and a short taxi drive away there is a train station. For those with a car and an interest in Scottish history the castles at Tantallon (sadly closed at the moment for safety reasons) where the medieval powerhouse of the Douglas family lived and Direlton and Fast are worth visits in addition to the more obvious Edinburgh castle. A quiet location but with lively bars in the evenings giving an opportunity to meet local people. I recommend the atmosphere, with log fires and comfy couches, and the food at the Goblin 'Ha hotel although we didn't go in the other bar/hotel so this is no reflection on its service.

Could not comment on the Wi-Fi as did not try it out.
Could not comment on the Wi-Fi as did not try it out. Had to be at work for 8am, so couldn't try the breakfast. Room clean and comfortable, Excellent Evening Meal. Overall pleased with hotel premises.
The staff were friendly helpful and caring. We had an excellent meal served in good time by a friendly attentive young man who made us feel welcolm.
I have stayed at the Goblin a number of times this year having enjoyed the many seaside walks in the area and and would recommend this hotel. Just think on this occasion we were unfortunate to have been given a budget room but considering the price and staying only one night it was a fair compromise and hope to return to enjoy this wonderful area.
The location was good, the village small quiet and interesting. The outside of the Hotel was really nice, the bath towels were large and soft and our evening meal was good. The owner was friendly and showed us up to our room, explaining about meals etc, but was quite offhand when we advised him that 9:30 was too late for our breakfast. The young man who served our evening meal was also friendly and attentive.
Lovely picturesque village with a lot of greenery, playing field, park and off licence. It felt very safe and we’d happily return for another stay during the summer. Also the beds were comfortable and the bedding was hotel standard. My wife loved the sofa and the open plan living space is perfect for families.
Amazing hotel in a super cute and quaint village. We stayed the night before Scottish Open and location was very convenient. Rooms were spacious and clean, and staff was incredibly helpful! We had both dinner and breakfast and it was very delicious. Friendly pub atmosphere too!
It was a last minute booking, I had stayed there only 10 days before.
The hotel is a traditional old hotel with very pleasant rooms.
Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and good shower.
Dinner and breakfast excellent.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
We were attending a wedding at Yester Estate, and the hotel couldn’t have been in a better location! An easy walk straight up the road and onto the grounds.
The hotel staff were so incredibly welcoming and friendly, thank you!
This was a lovely hotel with pleasant, helpful staff, a comfortable room and enormous quantities of excellent food for dinner and breakfast. It definitely passed my 'Would I stay there again' test.
Lovely village. Waitress in the outdoor area was incredible! Chips were lovely! Bed was comfy, charming wee hotel and they were very accommodating for our dogs.
