Garleton Lodge is renowned for its panoramic views, high-quality accommodation, food and drink, in a relaxed and peaceful countryside setting.
Sitting on a large hilltop plot near Haddington, looking over Scotland’s Golf Coast, the substantial property boasts sweeping 360-degree panoramic views across Edinburgh, the Forth and the surrounding East Lothian countryside. Due to its position, the hotel is popular with golfers playing the numerous nearby courses.
The current commercial configuration offers six en-suite letting rooms with additional facilities including a lounge with a fully stocked bar, spa treatment room, hot tub and large Finnish BBQ hut, as well as a self-contained cottage adjacent to the hotel with two en-suite bedrooms and a private lounge.
The remainder of the property provides a luxury owner's accommodation including an extensive lounge, an en-suite master bedroom with panoramic views from full-height glass windows, two dressing rooms, two further en-suite bedrooms and a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with a kitchenette.
After purchasing the property in 2016 and completing a full refurbishment, owners David and Angela Cockerton are now looking to sell due to retirement.
They said, “When we first discovered Garleton Lodge, we fell in love with its hilltop setting, the views and its position in the heart of East Lothian – a location renowned for good food, drink and golf, which are elements that have been an integral part of what we have offered our guests over the past 10 years.”
“We have worked closely with Scotland’s Golf Coast to successfully offer stay and play golf packages to both domestic and international guests, as well as weekend escapes, wedding accommodation and for businesses, both accommodation and a venue for corporate awaydays.”
Gary Witham, Director – Hotels at Christie & Co, is managing the sale process and commented, “As well as being a mecca for top quality golf courses, East Lothian also has stunning beaches and easy access to Edinburgh. To owners, the location suits a high-end accommodation focused business or a stunning private residence.”
Garleton Lodge is on the market freehold with a guide price of £1,850,000.
