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.

Was brilliant. Service, personnel and room was amazing.
In this dining room have sat Benjamin Franklin, Dr Samuel Johnson and James Boswell, Sir Winston Churchill, and the Queen Mother. The painted panels are those from mid-18th century.
In the beautiful yellow drawing room opposite the dining room, the Queen Mother used to sit in the chair below the mirror to have a champaign, as her helicopter could land in the grounds.

Such a friendly welcome at this stunning hotel. Stayed in December so the festive decorations were out and stunning. Room was extremely comfortable with so many luxurious finishes and touches. We dined at on site Rhubard restaurant and whilst a delicious meal, found the service not as attentive as it could have been. But this was specific to the restaurant and not general to the hotel.

Really lovely. Staff were excellent, taking great care of myself and my dog Teddi, especially at meal times so that I didn't have to leave Teddi in the car while I ate. My only very minor observation was the bed being so high. Needed steps to climb in. However an excellent stay, grounds great for taking dog for a walk. Would definitely stay again.

One of the best experiences that I’ve ever had. They truly made me feel like royalty for the day. I was traveling alone and they were especially accommodating. Rob R from Chicago

I arrived at the hotel shortly before midnight, although I had already checked in online, I had to enter my e-mail address again and sign again. The room key was not prepared and they told me that my credit card was not working even though I had used it in the cab outside the hotel. The employees comment was: “Maybe you used it too often”. The walls in the hotel are very thin so you can hear guests walking in the rooms above you. The sink is only equipped with one ice cold and one super hot tap separately, so I had to mix the water in a glass to the right temperature. I was alone in the hotel, but I had to pay the rate for 2 people, I also had to pay for breakfast for 2 people. On my departure I had to leave the hotel very early and asked for a breakfast box and tea beforehand. The tea was prepared but no box. Hey guys, even if the pastries and croissants weren't ready yet, you could have given me yogurt and some fruit for breakfast on the way. This leaves a bitter aftertaste and the question of what you pay so much money for in this hotel? Definitely not a 5 star experience but the park around the hotel is beautiful. Once and never again...

This property was absolutely stunning. Its location close to everything in the old city, and yet in a secluded, tranquil environment is perfect. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We arrived early in the day after an overnight flight from Canada and they were so accommodating. While our room was not ready, which was not unexpected we were served a lovely breakfast. Our bags were taken care of, and when we arrived back from town, around 1:30 they made every effort to get our room ready as soon as possible. We will go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend Prestonfield House.
