Prestonfield House is like an oasis in central Edinburgh. It is a beautifully maintained period house with nice grounds. The staff were excellent. I had a party of Thai friends for dinner and they loved both the atmosphere and the dinner itself.

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.
