Within walking distance of the picturesque county town of Haddington and just 16 miles (26 km) from Edinburgh, Maitlandfield House boasts traditional charm and original elegance. The Maitlandfield House Hotel combines the quality and efficiency of a modern hotel with all the charm of an elegant and historic town house. The hotel has a quiet, peaceful location, just a short walk from the heart of the pretty town of Haddington. The hotel is also within easy reach of the A1, which offers fast, convenient access, right to the heart of Edinburgh’s city centre. The hotel’s new Brasserie restaurant serves modern Scottish cuisine, prepared using locally sourced ingredients. With a stylish yet informal environment, the Brasseries offers an interesting selection of individual dishes and fixed priced menus, together with a balanced and well-priced wine list. The brasserie was commended by the East Lothian Food and Drink festival in 2007 and again in 2008.
