    Whilst the hotel is just as fabulous as our last visit the service was not quite the same. I’m not sure if it was perhaps a bit short staffed. We have always received complimentary champagne in our suite or room but this was missing this time. This did not spoil our stay it was just something we noted.

    We love Prestonfield and revisited for our Anniversary. We had a lovely time. The food was superb and the suite was fabulous.

    The service in the Rhubarb restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. We were waiting for the service for 30 minutes. The waiters were not attentive at all.

    Prestonfield house is a really unique place to stay. The atmosphere, the style, nature around — we were impressed.

    Everything!! Prestonfield is MAGIC. The beauty of the property, the service, all of it is next level. I have stayed there twice and will only stay here in Edinburgh. There really are no words to explain how amazing this place is, you have to actually experience it.

    Leaving was the only downside. Wish we had booked longer.

    The bed was noted to me as “antique.” I could feel the springs when I passed my hand over the bed and it overall it was very hard bed. If you like hard beds you’ll love it, but I’m more of a soft bed person. The shower water temperature oscillated quite a bit which was very difficult during shower times.

    The staff at Prestonfield are 10/10. They knew us despite us only staying a few nights and were incredibly kind and helpful. The Rhubard restaurant exceeded my expectations. The ingredients are so fresh that I doubt that I can get the same taste for some dishes anywhere else. The location is a short 10 minute drive from the center of the city and completely quiet at night except for when they have events. The decor is really lovely and I loved the house cat and 3 cows!

    The accommodation at Prestonfield House and the quality of service is out of this world. From the rooms, decor, setting and grounds to the quality of the service, food and staff, I would say a rating of 10/10 is too low. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it will go down as a special moment in our memories. And we are definitely planning to return.

    Unfortunately, stayed while renovation work was being carried out in the adjacent and opposite rooms. But this was well managed and caused minimal inconvenience.

    A beautiful hotel in a lovely quiet location, just far enough from the busy capital city.

    Just one small niggle - the bedrooms are slightly dark during the daytime but nevertheless still very dramatic

    The House , interiors and grounds were all beautiful and well maintained and the staff were so helpful from reception though to the manager . Also every meal we had (including breakfast )was amazing

    There weren't more cats, ha ,we had the pleasure meeting and beautiful black cat we came with us on the first night walking around as if you are into photography is stunning at night-time. Other than the fact we wish there were more cats, we have nothing to say negative what so ever .

    Prestonfield house was found completely by accident, but what an accident, just the grounds alone are stunning, my only regret is that I didn't come in the summer or spring time , which me and my partner plan to do, the staff are acceptinally polite and as a same set couple we was made to feel very welcoming and comfortable, so thank to the staff for this, this beautiful stay is highly recommended for a beautiful get away or just somewhere to relax, again myself and my partner thank you, for allowing us to feel comfortable. Also, may I add that the bed was acceptinally comfortable we had an amazing night's sleep.

    The staff go above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Everybody was lovely to our little dog and we had breakfast in the drawing room with her every morning. The amenities in our room were replenished twice a day including complimentary chocolates, cookies, water and crisps. It is the only place to stay in Edinburgh and is close to public transport too.
