From start to finish, our stay at Haddington House was exceptional. The staff were incredibly warm, professional, and always willing to help—true hospitality at its best. The hotel was spotless, with a calm, elegant atmosphere and tasteful decor throughout. The view of the Irish Sea only adds to its charm. Bonus that it’s walking distance from Forty Foot, a popular spot for locals to take a daily dip in the sea. The restaur A perfect blend of comfort, cleanliness, and charm.

Short but Sweet Stay

The staff at Haddington House were amazing! They gave great recommendations of places to see, and helped me figure out public transportation in the area. And they were all so so so kind! The location was also very convenient. Within walking distance of a lot of shops, but also close to bus stops for the longer treks.

They have beautiful bikes available to ride the pathways along with seaside!! They are in perfect condition and matching with seafoam green paint, a basket and brown leather seats. This was our favourite hotel on our trip and we even came back a second time! They provide a little basket with beach towels. The staff are very professional. Gorgeous Hotel!

Exceptional stay, toasty room.

Exceptional service, and lovely hotel. Free on site parking, which was very convenient and a great amenity to have, especially in that area. The only negative I have, is that the heat was on very high in the room, and it was uncomfortable. I tried to turn it down / off, but it remained hot for a long time. I had to leave the window open all night. Everything else was excellent.

It’s a no

My stay was basic, the room was close to the lift very noisy, you could hear chatters and doors slamming. I was not able to rest after a long flight. Room was musty and outdated. Staff were not friendly, when we asked for a room change we were told that they were fully booked. Location was great for shopping. I would not recommend.

Lovely stay

My sister, husband & I stayed one night. No issues. Didn’t have the breakfast or evening meal. Very comfortable. Only thing was they charged us again about an hour after I paid on the same card. Was a little unusual as it wasn’t even the same account. They rectified it as soon as I brought it to their attention.
