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

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

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

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
