Reservations are now live for The Leddie in Aberlady, opening in summer 2024.

The Leddie – a boutique retreat nestled in the heart of Aberlady, East Lothian, the epicentre of Scotland’s famous golf coast will open this summer.

The former Ducks Inn was acquired by Wirefox,a Northern Irish investment company, in September 2023. Since then, a refurbishment and design project has been carried out.  The hotel will officially open to the public this summer and is set to add to East Lothian’s food and drink scene.

The Leddie, a nod to the original name of the river that runs through the town, will be home to a luxury 27 bed hotel, a bar and 70 cover restaurant – complete with a cosy lounge area with a roaring fire and inviting nooks. In addition, guests and visitors alike will be able to enjoy a refreshing drink in The Leddie’s spacious front and rear terraces, the perfect place to lounge and linger from noon until night.     

The design has been developed in collaboration between Wirefox’s in-house design team and Studio Terry, incorporating inspirations from the local surroundings and Scotland itself. The distinctive interiors create an escapist and cosy space that both celebrates and transcends the area’s rich history. 

Robert Clark has been appointed as General Manager bringing his 16 years of hospitality experience to the role. Robert has worked in some of the best front of house roles in the country including General Manager of The Scran & Scallie in Edinburgh and the Bonnie Badger in Gullane. His local experience and knowledge will offer guests a personal touch like no other and a welcoming, familiar face for locals. 

He said:“I am delighted to have joined Wirefox at the early stages of the Marram collection and cannot wait to launch this beautiful property after all the hard work that has gone into it, from everyone involved. It is an exciting time and we are focussed on providing great hospitality for all of our guests, and we can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you this summer.”
