The Leddie: East Lothian boutique hotel and restaurant opens in Aberlady promising ‘unforgettable stay’

Formerly known as the Ducks Inn, the premises in Aberlady has now reopened as ‘The Leddie’ which owners say is the original name for nearby Peffer Burn that runs through the town.

Northern Irish investment firm, Wirefox, acquired the building last year, before renovating the property with the design inspired by the local surroundings ‘that celebrates and transcends the area’s rich history.’

The Leddie in Aberlady, East Lothian is now open, offering 27 luxury bedrooms, a bar and an 80 cover restaurant | The Leddie

Robert Clark, general manager of The Leddie, said: “The opening of The Leddie marks a significant milestone for us. We have worked tirelessly to create a space that not only provides exceptional comfort and luxury but also embodies the spirit and charm of East Lothian. We are very excited to welcome guests and offer them an unforgettable stay.”

The luxury retreat will offer 27 ‘elegantly designed rooms’, a bar and 70 cover restaurant - with a cosy lounge area featuring ‘a roaring fire and inviting nooks.’ Guests will also be able to enjoy a drink in The Leddie’s spacious front and rear terraces, which owners say is the perfect place to lounge and linger from noon until night.

The hotel’s restaurant seats up to 80 guests, serving a menu that ‘celebrates the rich bounty of East Lothian’s local larder.’ The menu caters to all tastes with everything from small plates - including Kedgeree croquette, curried mayo, rocket salad - to larger plates to include delicious flame grilled steaks, a hearty chicken, bacon & leek pie and the ultimate Leddie beef burger with meat from local East Lothian butchers, John Gilmour.
