Prestonfield House, Edinburgh
Expert reviews
“If the blond wood and brushed steel of modern boutique hotels leave you cold, then this is the place for you. A 17th-century mansion set in 8 hectares of parkland, Prestonfield is draped in damask and packed with antiques.”
“The cattle grazing on the hotel’s 20-acre grounds let you know that you’ve entered a different world, even though you’re ten minutes by car from the Royal Mile. Inside this 1687 mansion, baroque opulence reigns in the well-restored public rooms; there are plenty of gilt treasures to relax among as you sip a whisky.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Edinburgh.
“James Thomson’s leanings towards the theatrical were given free reign in his second hotel and mini country estate on the outskirts of the city. He rescued this 17th-century baroque pad in 2003 and turned it into a lavishly opulent five–star boutique hotel with 18 rooms and five suites in his signature overblown style.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Edinburgh.
“Hidden in lush grounds a short drive from the city centre this is the swankiest, most swoon-some country house hotel imaginable. Riotously rococo, with bedrooms straight from the pages of bodice-ripping romance, every comfort catered for and one of Edinburgh’s favourite restaurants.”
