I'm probably being overly critical as the hotel is obviously fantastic but for a single guy staying on business I just thought it was a little overrated. Everything was a bit gawdy, very red and in your face. Food was very good and staff and location excellent, just not my kind of place I suppose especially considering the price. more

My husband proposed to me at Prestonfield in 2006 (we only ate in the restaurant there but were that impressed we vowed to one day go back to stay overnight). I booked the hotel for my husband's 30th and was really looking forward to returning to our fairytale hotel. I was nervous that our bubble may get burst a little... more

This hotel is out of the ordinary. It's like stepping back to a time of absolute luxury and opulence. You actually, nearly feel honoured, that you are able to enter, this fabulous, historical house. Just to be part of its life, for a short time. You slept here too, along with all the long gone figures of history. how cool... more

We have stayed at the Prestonfield on a few occasions. It has the WOW factor. The rooms are fantastically decadent. Some might consider the decor to be over the top but I disagree. This place targets couples and is ideal for anyone looking for somewhere romantic and sexy. Rhubarb is a great restaurant, we have had excellent meals there with... more

Having been led into a cul de sac full of bungalows by the sat nav mrs gums was beginning to feel a little anxious about where I had brought her to on our anniversary. Her anxiety subsided, however, when after using that old fashioned item called a map, we finally found and drove up to the white hotel building set... more

Amazing old hotel set about 30 mins walk from the Royal Mile, set in its own grounds and with amazing decorations. We stayed for 3 nights and ate at Rhubarb for one which was really nice, my partner is a vegan and they made every effort to make sure she had a good meal. All the staff from the reception... more

The hotel is a fantastic place for a weekend away - romantic or otherwise. The service was great and the staff very helpful. The only negative thing is that there is no spa or pool, but the grounds are lovely and you can go for walks around Arthurs seat. A little pricey, but definately one of the best hotels I've... more

During my stay in Edinburgh, I had a memorable afternoon tea in the Tapestry Room at Prestonfield. It's just a ten minutes ride by taxi from the city centre, and the setting is wonderful. So, if you can't afford the prices of the hotel, treat yourself with an afternoon tea in a place you vill remember forever. more

We apologise first by saying that our first choice was the Witchery hotel but we were not able to go because we had a 9 year old son with us and they do not take children. I thank the Witchery because this meant we could stay at the Prestonfield and what a wonderful hotel it is. I cannot believe it... more

spent a wonderful day and night at Prestonfield for our first anniversary on the 26 October. We had previously read all the other reviews and i couldn't wait to try it for ourselves. The service is absolutely fantastic, from the wonderful kilted doorman who took us to our room, in fact, everyone was there to help and make sure you... more
