Gorgeous, immaculate, luxurious. I’d give this stay more stars if I could. The staff caters to your every whim, the property is spotless, they have a free roaming peacock, cat and 3 highland cows. Idyllic. Best hotel I’ve ever stayed in hands down. Worth the splurge.

8/10 Very good

This property was beautiful. We loved the cow when we opened the blind to our window in the morning. The first thing we saw was a beautiful furry cow. We slept for 11 solid hours and everything was so comfortable and all the staff was so attentive we couldn’t have asked for more. We just love it here in Scotland.

Incredible service, the restaurant is excellent, as was high tea. Sort of walkable to downtown (45 minutes) and there are buses as well. About 30 minute cab from airport. Each room is uniquely decorated and very comfortable.

Everything about his property was incredible. It feels like you’re in the country but it is a quick and inexpensive ride to get into the city. The restaurant is amazing and the entire staff were simply the best we’ve experienced at any stay we have booked. I can’t recommend Prestonfield House enough.

Really lovely. Staff were excellent, taking great care of myself and my dog Teddi, especially at meal times so that I didn't have to leave Teddi in the car while I ate. My only very minor observation was the bed being so high. Needed steps to climb in. However an excellent stay, grounds great for taking dog for a walk. Would definitely stay again.

Relaxing festive break

Such a friendly welcome at this stunning hotel. Stayed in December so the festive decorations were out and stunning. Room was extremely comfortable with so many luxurious finishes and touches. We dined at on site Rhubard restaurant and whilst a delicious meal, found the service not as attentive as it could have been. But this was specific to the restaurant and not general to the hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

This property was absolutely stunning. Its location close to everything in the old city, and yet in a secluded, tranquil environment is perfect. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We arrived early in the day after an overnight flight from Canada and they were so accommodating. While our room was not ready, which was not unexpected we were served a lovely breakfast. Our bags were taken care of, and when we arrived back from town, around 1:30 they made every effort to get our room ready as soon as possible. We will go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend Prestonfield House.

The property was charming, the rich colours flowed throughout. Beautifully designed. Breakfast was very good and the views out of the windows from the restaurant to the highland cows and Colin the peacock. Bed/bedding not the most comfortable although spend of looking. Very quirky.

The staff was exceptional. We arrived early before our room was ready and the staff took care of our luggage and directed us to a delightful afternoon tea while we waited. We blew an electrical breaker trying to use an American hairdryer and they promptly got the electricity fixed. They were very flexible with dinner reservations, working around our daytime activities.

Peerless. Transport to Georgian, Jacobite and Stuart Scotland. No better place to stay in Edinburgh (except perhaps its sister property The Witchery). 10/10
