Prestonfield House, Edinburgh

The best thing about the hotel was the breakfast. The Scottish breakfast was a tour de force. The restaurant generally was very good and the wine list was superb.

Someone staying in the room left the alarm on before leaving and at 1.30am we were treated to a ‘drum and bass’ extravaganza at 100 decibels… checking alarms might be useful

My daughter said it was excellent!

That after we lost flight connection from the US and asked for cancellation, this hotel was the only one of several we had reserved for our Europe trip that DID NOT ACCEPT a cancellation, even although we advised 14 days in advance, so I offered the rooms to my daughter and her friends who live in Edinburgh and had a great time at the hotel.

The staff are superb

A pity in the context of the house that there is no dedicated bar

Everything , the staff were all extremely friendly & helpful

In the centre of Edinburgh, here you find excellent attention to detail. Location was perfect. Surroundings peaceful. Food was outstanding as was service.

Prestonfield House is a stunning hotel placed in a beautiful garden. The main structure presents the traditional baronial architecture and the rooms inside are just faboluous. The kindeness of the staff at the reception was exceptional, and so was our room, with a view on the gardens. Unfortunately we spent there only one night, but we already plan to be back and stay longer.

Everything was just perfect.

Location was perfect if you want to be close to the city center but not in the city. The landscaping and serene grounds were amazing for a walk or to gaze at the beautiful view during breakfast or afternoon tea. The staff were so pleasant and accommodating. I truly loved everything about my stay. The room was spacious and clean.

Beautiful place!!

Outstanding staff - very helpful and attentive, fantastic breakfast, beautiful grounds, lovely drawing rooms, epic views of King Arthur’s seat, highland cows. This is my favorite place.

The hotel is very pet friendly and the staff are particularly attentive. The hotel is beautiful with many artifacts, tapestries, and furniture that are several hundred years old. The setting is beautiful and there is a resident peacock, Colin, and a cat, Raven, on the property. There are a few highland cows in the farm adjacent to hotel. The hotel is in a neighborhood and is an easy 20 minute walk from the base of Arthur's seat.

The rooms were quite dark even with all the lights on. The rooms are on the small side.

Superb decor, safe quiet location and excellent staff service. .

Breakfast could be much better, too many items on the menu, perhaps giving the chef a hard time.

Highly recommend Prestonfield House! The perfect get away for the castle like feeling - right next to Arthurs Seat, but also near the city. We hope to come back one day!

Everything was sublime! Wish we got more information about the estate (since there is a lot of history)/small tour of the recreational rooms.

Very relaxing, the interior is beautiful and luxurious and the level of service was faultless. All of the food was brilliant too. Couldn't fault the place and we will defintely visit again.

A fabulous quirky characterful hotel with lovely staff and excellent food.

All the staff were excellent and very friendly. The facilities are amazing and the location is great.

Quite expensive for drinks. More options on the dinner menu.

Original and very comfortable. First class attention to detail. Welcoming and knowledgable staff.

Nothing to say.

There was nothing not to like it was mavelous

The location, house, welcome, food, decor and room were all wonderful.

The hot water in the room is blisteringly hot. We left our do not disturb tassel on the door but came back to find our room had been turned down and some very personal medical equipment had been moved around by someone. There is no soundproofing at all against the room above.

Very comfortable, homely, beautiful furnishings, loved the hotel cat 🐈‍⬛

The room was a little bit small

I had dined at the hotel several times before but had never stayed there - the room was sumptuous and met all expectations. Excellent, friendly service. It feels more like a country house than a hotel.

The property is a world away but close to town. From the second you arrive to the moment you leave, the staff is attentive and informative, and they go out of their way to anticipate your needs. The grounds are nice, including a resident peacock and cow, with fox friends playing in the field. The decor is truly spectacular, with layer upon layer of antiques, interesting pieces and detail. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable with still and sparkling water, cookies and chocolates, as well as an available mini bar. Rhubarb, the restaurant, serves beautiful food - breakfast was absolutely delicious with many options to choose from. During the evenings we sat in different rooms enjoying the decor, fireplaces and a wee dram to top off the day.

It’s definitely a splurge, but worth every penny.

A unique aesthetic abounds. Sumptuous interiors, gorgeous flowers, steeped in history. Just beautiful!

The hotel had a lovely ambience about it. The grounds immaculately kept. The staff where exceptionally polite and nothing was too much trouble. A wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice. A perfect stay and would definitely return.

Amazing location and amazing maintenance on the old building.

Lack of halal food available for Muslim visitors.

Quite traditional chic setting, details everywhere. Great deco and with great collection. Will come back again.

We opted for this location for our last 2 nights in Scotland, as we wanted to treat ourselves a bit and enjoy some quiet time. It delivered much more than that. The house can be very cosy if you enjoy its style. If not, you may find it old-fashioned. But either way, its charm it’s undeniable. The effort put into maintaining the property at this high standard is remarkable. We also dined there and the service and food were impecable.

The service was excellent. The rooms were incredible. Highly recommend the afternoon tea and staying for dinner

The staff was exceptional! The grounds were beautiful!

Coffee could have been hotter

Beautiful hotel, where the service was exceptional. Great location if you have a car to park. Easy taxi into the centre. Love the decor!

Nothing.

Wonderfully decorated rooms, great food, good service.

A bit far from downtown Edinburgh.

The overall ambience, delicious food!

The roll top bath was quite high to climb into for the shower.

Excellent service and ultimate luxury close to the heart of the city. The breakfast and high tea were sublime. Staff are extremely helpful and the grounds and rooms are magnificent!

Perfect

Location fabulous. Breakfast incredible. Staff friendliness and attentiveness superb.

Even though it was Edinburgh Fringe time and I appreciate that all Edinburgh hotels increase their prices, I did feel that the cost was exhorbitant.

exceptional staff, brilliant breakfast.

Incredibly staff, stunning historic building, beautifully maintained grounds, sumptuous and unique decor, and a top notch restaurant right when you enter.

Staff were wonderful Food was delicious

The staff are always ready to meet your every need, they are polite, kind and have a way of making you feel at home each and every day. A superb sliver breakfast service in a opulent dining room with lovely garden views and in-house peacocks parading the grounds. On one side the views extend to the a golf course, to the field which hosts the bull cows and the stunning old brick coach house. There are plenty of rooms to sit have a tipple or afternoon tea or light bites in-between.

New receptionist failed to understand the culture or the place nor got a grasp of customer needs, she failed to listen and took a very suborn approach. very displeasing and disappointing indeed.

Location and opulence

Prices are quite high, especially for extras, but I guess this is only to be expected

All fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed food, service and surroundings.

Nothing. It was wonderful.

Unique and relaxing.

Loved everything.

Great location, breakfast a variety of options served with a smile. All the staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. We were there for our grandsons wedding and again everything went smoothly and this led to a thoroughly enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere.

We loved everything: the staff, the housekeeping, the service, the impeccable food for breakfast and dinner. The food at the hotel restaurant was better than Michelin star restaurant. We loved the decor and the specious lobby ( several of them). So many rooms to relax and enjoy a good book with a glass of wine or a good coffee. It is shown that a lot of thought and efforts were invested to make our stay perfect. They succeeded in every way. We felt like royalty.

Some little thing really: the blanket was uncomfortable and not a duvet, little space in the bathroom for toiletries, the location is not walking distance to the main attractions. But still it is a wonderful place to return after a day of sightseeing and exploring Edinburgh.

Stunning property and grounds. Excellent staff. Wonderful food. We loved it

Hotel had not been our first choice, however for a special occasion it ticked all the right boxes. The staff were great and the service was exceptional. It really topped off the experience of the trip we were looking forward to for 9 months.

Nothing, everything was first class.
