Set directly opposite Dirleton's thirteenth-century castle, this family-run hotel really does live up to its name, and visitors can expect a genuine welcome with open arms – as well as cosy log fires in winter.

The chefs take great pleasure in offering delicious dishes prepared with the best of local ingredients and the busy restaurants are a testament of their skill. You may choose from the bright informality of Deveau’s Brasserie with its good choice of menu or the Library with its more sophisticated dishes. After dinner take time to relax with a liqueur or coffee in one of the many comfortable chairs or sofas in the lounges and think of nothing but a cosy bed and an excellent breakfast.
