We stayed at the Prestonfield for 1 night for our anniversary. We booked a luxury double room and our stay included dinner and breakfast. Room- was clean, nicely decorated and styled. Bed was large and very comfortable, however the shaving mirror in the bathroom was broken, but since we were only there for one night it was not too much... More

We were on foot exploring the area surrounding Prestonfield and decided to try to tour the house on the advice of the innkeeper we stayed with. The grounds were classic and exceptionally well cared for. What we did not know is they were hosting a wedding that day. When we stepped inside we were greeted by a fine gentleman named... More

I cannot fault this Hotel. If you are looking for superb, personal service, a fantastic location that is a 5 minute drive to the heart of Edinburgh in a gorgeous estate setting, glamorous rooms, wonderful restaurant - what isn't to like? Would go back in a heartbeat. And we are in New Zealand!

The Prestonfield is truly a fabulous retreat. Our suite the Allan Ramsay was absolutely gorgeous. We were so well looked after by wonderful attentive staff. A fantastic customer experience. The Prestonfield is the perfect stay. Can't wait to return.

Fantastic weekend at the Prestonfield, stayed in the Franklin suite which was absolutely beautiful - one of the nicest hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. Although we actually live in Edinburgh going to this hotel is a real escape, as soon as you enter through the gates you are in a different world - beautiful country setting (although you... More

I dined at the Prestonfield hotel, food supplied by the Rhubard Restaurant in a private dining experience. From start to finish it was just wonderful. A private lounge with a huge ice bucket full of champagne with two waiters for the 20 of us for an hour before we were escorted into the private dining room for our meal. Food... More

My parents and I went to Prestonfields to celebrate Hogmanay in Edinburgh. My parents have visited Prestonfields on many occasions before and the Witchery by the Castle, but I had not, and was well setup for an unforgettable experience. The setting of the house is absolutely beautiful and grand. The interior is sumptuous and exquisite. On the first evening we... More

I booked the Prestonfield after learning it was a sister hotel of a hotel I love in Edinburgh to both stat at and eat at. However even though the hotel is set in beautiful grounds, with highland cattle and Peacocks walking around and not to mention the beautiful rooms with fantastic touches like chocolates and home baked cookies I could...

When I told someone that I was staying at Prestonfield, his comment was 'this is probably the best hotel in Edinburgh' so my expectations were naturally quite high - fuelled by the marketing literature, which has more quotations from the great and the good than a hit play! When you turn into the grounds it is clearly a spectacular building... More
