My husband and I booked Prestonfield for a romantic one night stay in June. The hotel itself is lovely (although a little dark in the bedrooms) and certainly unique due to the peacocks! Having champagne on ice and chocolates in the room on arrival was a nice touch. There were a couple of functions going on when we arrived but... more

We stayed at Prestonfield a few weeks ago for my nephew’s wedding. From the moment we drove up the drive after getting lost, while being distracted by highland cows to the right hand side, it was like we had been transported into the countryside but town was just a couple of minutes away! This place is luxury!! We were given... more

We booked on late rooms.com and were amazed when we arrived to be told we had been upgraded to a suite. It was pure extravagance and we indulged in the complimentary champagne and chocolate puds whilst enjoying the pleasures of two bathrooms! Dinner at Rhubarb was superb and breakfast equally memorable with the entertainment provided by the peacocks on the... more

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
