I first visited the Bonnie Badger a few years ago and was disappointed to say the least. I didn't particularly want to visit ago but one of my travelling party was very keen.............I will NEVER make the same mistake again. The wine list was uninspiring and over-priced and my main course (pork tomahawk) was so overcooked you could barely cut it. The sides were also lacking in variety and none were appropriate for the one main course that I was attracted to. The service was slow and the staff looked disinterested and lacked enthusiasm and polish.

Lovely hotel, with charming service and excellent food. We were there for four nights, for my daughter’s wedding, since she was having her reception there. We had a deluxe room in the cottages. Our room had a very comfortable bed, and we slept very well. My only quibbles would be that the shower is very small for a large man, and there is minimal clothes hanging space. Other than that, our stay was perfect. Staff are very friendly and service is impeccable. Food throughout was excellent. They clearly have superb suppliers, and the standard of cooking is extremely high, as you would expect of a Tom Kitchin establishment. Breakfast was fantastic every day, and the bacon was superb. The roe deer for the wedding reception was the best venison I have ever tasted, haggis was perfectly cooked, and all the sauces were exquisite. We will return.

Went to the garden restaurant.We were early but got water and menu but waited over 20 min for drinks.Not good enough for such an expensive restaurant.Food was ok but not worth it.

Everything you could want from a hotel/ restaurant. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Rooms were excellent - small but perfectly formed. Bathroom was immaculate with a wonderful shower and heated floor. Bedding, towels all beautiful and the homemade salted chocolate chip cookies were sooo good. We ate in the Stables restaurant one night and the food was top notch with excellent attentive service again. Breakfast both mornings absolutely delicious - we had full Scottish one morning but you also got fresh fruit salad and yoghurt with fruit compote. You can tell they use the best local ingredients in everything they serve. Even the plates, dishes and mugs are ceramics by a small Scottish business. And a great music playlist in the bar, restaurant, garden room. Extra little touches which just added to the cost, welcoming vibe. We loved every minute of our 2 night stay and were sad to go, even with a compliment gift bag of water and homemade flapjacks. Fantastic value for money - we’ll be back!

Really enjoyed our time here the room was great and really enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. Service was excellent. Had the scallops, pork and cheese board. The house rose is excellent and lots of wine choices. The bar was a little dark but that is being picky. Good place.

Loved everything about the Bonnie Badger. Have stayed at many wonderful hotels in Scotland and it’s one of my favorites. Hotels are very expensive in Scotland and I think we’ve become a bit numb as to the prices, but, compared to comparably priced hotels from Dornoch to Glen Coe to Aberdeen to Fife, the Bonnie Badger is top notch. Loved the comfort of the bed, the shower, the delicious food, and especially the staff. Also much prefer it to the other top rated hotel in lovely Gullane. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved it. We spent the night at the Bonnie badger and from the moment we walked through the door the whole experience was fantastic. All the staff working there are great from the warm welcome when checking in to the attentive staff in the restaurant. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Made to feel very welcome The food was exceptional not only in the evening but the following morning at breakfast. Honestly can’t recommend it highly enough and I can’t wait to go back
