Prestonfield House is like an oasis in central Edinburgh. It is a beautifully maintained period house with nice grounds. The staff were excellent. I had a party of Thai friends for dinner and they loved both the atmosphere and the dinner itself.
We had an absolutely super stay.
Seamless attentive and yet super cool staff.
Nothing was too much trouble for them.
A unique experience.
Can’t wait to return.
An outstanding hotel. No exaggeration to say this is our favourite hotel anywhere in the world. Stunning building, beautiful setting, incredible service.
Beautiful hotel, fantastic Christmas decorations, all magical. Staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful, all very welcoming. Evening meal and breakfast were delicious. Perfection.
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.
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.
Exquisite rooms, decor and gardens. Peaceful, relaxing. Superb staff. Superb food and service. We loved everything about Prestonfield House. Wished we could have stayed a day longer.
