    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.

    Didn’t know where and where not to go. Lots of areas to explore so maybe a more informative greeting would be good.

    Beautiful historical setting. Exceptional service. Exclusive decor and attention to detail. Quiet location.

    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.

    Honestly, I can't think of anything we didn't like.

    Everything was amazing. Staff were friendly and couldn't do more for you. The location is stunning, and the room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.

    If there was something I didn’t like (which there wasn’t) then if I asked them to fix it it would have happened in minutes. A truly luxurious experience with a focus on service.

    Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Loved my stay here. This will definitely become my Edinburgh hotel. Staff followed me around grounds to help me park and walk me to my room. Proper old fashioned care and service.

    Someone staying in the room left the alarm on before leaving and at 1.30am we were treated to a ‘drum and bass’ extravaganza at 100 decibels… checking alarms might be useful

    The best thing about the hotel was the breakfast. The Scottish breakfast was a tour de force. The restaurant generally was very good and the wine list was superb.

    That after we lost flight connection from the US and asked for cancellation, this hotel was the only one of several we had reserved for our Europe trip that DID NOT ACCEPT a cancellation, even although we advised 14 days in advance, so I offered the rooms to my daughter and her friends who live in Edinburgh and had a great time at the hotel.

    My daughter said it was excellent!
