    “We have stayed in many beautiful hotels, but Prestonfield House is, without a doubt, the most extraordinary and unforgettable hotel we have ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, we were completely captivated. Every corner of this property feels like stepping into another world. The magnificent historic interiors, rich colours, beautiful antiques, luxurious furnishings, and breathtaking attention to detail create an atmosphere unlike anything we have ever seen. What makes Prestonfield House truly exceptional is that it offers so much more than luxury. It has character, history, warmth, and a sense of magic that is incredibly rare to find. The beautiful grounds and peaceful surroundings make it feel like a secluded countryside estate, despite being so close to the heart of Edinburgh. The rooms are stunning, the atmosphere is wonderfully romantic, and the entire property feels like a work of art. Every detail has been so thoughtfully considered. The hospitality deserves particular recognition. The staff make you feel genuinely welcomed and valued, and the level of care and attention reflects everything a five-star hotel should represent. We have genuinely never been so impressed by a hotel before. Prestonfield House is not simply a place to stay; it is an experience in itself, and one that will remain in our memories for a very long time. If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would. An absolute masterpiece of a hotel, and somewhere we would return to in a heartbeat. Thank you, Prestonfield House, for an unforgettable stay.”

  • Absolutely delightful stay, the property, rooms, grounds, food and service were all top notch. Thanks
