Haddington offers a slower East Lothian break around the River Tyne and a compact historic town. Choose a hotel in Sidegate or a cottage on the Huntington estate outside town. A short riverside outing can be the centre of the trip, with time for public streets and an unhurried meal. Cottage bookings need their own minimum-stay check; the two-day outline does not promise a one-night let.
