Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of lovely surprises and a few disappointments. The rooms were sumptuous with some special touches like champagne on arrival, chocolates, and freshly made cookies, although they were smaller than expected and quite dark due to poor lighting which didn't complement the dark decor. The service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to be friendly and helpful, though there was a minor issue with housekeeping leaving a window open causing rain damage. The location was excellent, offering a relaxing haven just a couple of miles from the city center, surrounded by greenery, including a putting green we enjoyed. The dining experience, while not as strong as other offerings, was still enjoyable, especially set against the stunning backdrop. Overall, a great stay with a few areas for improvement.
The hotel is situated in a lovely neighborhood surrounded by green spaces and a golf course. The rooms are spacious, opulent, and well-equipped, perfect for a cozy stay. The service was professional and attentive, although there was a slight issue with taxi arrangements. The location offers a tranquil setting close to nature, while the dining experience had some minor disappointments. Overall, a charming stay with excellent amenities.
The hotel's decor and lighting in the rooms were elegant and clean, creating a very comfortable atmosphere with rich fabrics and quirky furnishings. However, the rooms were a bit smaller than expected, and the low lighting made the dark decor less inviting. The service was top-notch, with the exception of an incident where housekeeping left a window open, causing some inconvenience. The location was peaceful and relaxing, offering lovely views and a warm neighborhood feeling. The dining experience was superb, being greeted warmly and enjoying a delightful meal. Overall, a cozy stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of delightful and slightly underwhelming experiences. The rooms, while smaller than expected for a party of six, were beautifully furnished with antique pieces, but changing was a bit of a hassle. The service was top-notch with attentive staff, although drinks before dinner took a bit longer. The location was perfect for a short visit, close to Edinburgh, but the lack of air circulation was noticeable. Dining was outstanding with fantastic food and impeccable service, however Danish pastries were missed. Overall, a great stay with minor room size and airflow concerns.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. While the rooms were rather small, the service was exceptional, and the location was exactly what I had hoped for. The dining experience was mostly positive, with a few minor issues. Overall, it was a memorable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel rooms were incredibly spacious and opulent, with a full Sky TV package as standard, making for a comfortable stay. The service was a mix of helpful assistance and some shortcomings in handling guest needs. The location was convenient, surrounded by Prestonfield Golf Course, but could have been quieter. The dining experience offered a great variety of options, though some dishes fell short. Overall, a luxurious stay with some room for improvement.
