About the award

Introduced in 2017, the AA Restaurant with Rooms of the Year award recognises an AA-rated guest accommodation that is also a dining destination.

The Bonnie Badger

Located in the quiet East Lothian town of Gullane, renowned for its links golf, wonderful beaches and coastline, The Bonnie Badger is Tom and Michaela Kitchin’s first ‘restaurant with rooms’ venture. Rescued from near dereliction, it continues to evolve and develop, displaying the same high quality and attention to detail as his other restaurants.

Bedrooms, in the main house and two cottages, are beautifully designed with little touches of luxury to ensure a memorable stay. The Stables Dining room offers Tom’s award-winning ‘nature to plate’ style menus, and there’s outside dining with a large fire pit to keep the chill off.
