Macdonald Houstoun House

This was our first stay in Scotland after traveling from the USA. The property was beautiful, easy to get to especially navigating driving on the opposite side of the road than what we are used to. Everyone was kind, welcoming and super pretty property. We all wish we had more time here to further explore the beautiful property. Only heads up - watch the heavy bags my friends no lifts up the stairs. :) We ate dinner in the bar which was super yummy and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Breakfast was one of the best that we had on the trip as well. Highly recommend signing up for breakfast - chef was really great...especially on dinner and I loved how many options there were for those with allergies - we're dairy free!

Nice boutique hotel with friendly welcoming staff, nice restaurant and food with a very cozy bar.

Hotel room, meal in restaurant and staff were amazing . Highly recommend for a short stay .

When we checked in we were told that the pool was closing at 3.30pm that day (check in from 3pm). This was the main reason for us choosing this hotel. We should have been notified of this. We'd have stayed elsewhere for half the price had we known. Nobody apologised, or seemed bothered.

Fabulous historical hotel , excellent room and bed was very comfortable. The staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful. Our only concern was the quality of the restaurant. The menu was weak and the quality of food was not as good as expected in a four star hotel. This is a shame as the hotel overall was first class , we would return, but very much doubt we’d use the restaurant unless it can Make improvements. A special mention to the lady on the front desk , who was extremely attentive and cheerful.

the hotel is based in a old Scottish manor house which gives it atmosphere. Rooms confortable and clean.. Grounds are pretty. Can recomend the scramble egg and salmon choice on breakfast Menu. Close (still need a car) to the park and ride tram so centre of Edinburgh easily reached. Staff are friendly and good.

This was our second visit to this hotel. Love it It’s so beautiful and we will be returning next year.

We loved the grounds. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was very cozy and had everything we needed.

A very beautiful quiet location with lovely grounds and a great spa. Staff were flexible and friendly.
