Prestonfield House

"So many hotels claim to be five star, but fall short of even being a reasonable four. The Prestonfield, for me, is a real five-star establishment that lives up to my breakfast expectations. I have an issue with hotels claiming this rating, but leave you to forage amongst other guests for drinks, toast, and breakfast. It is a staff and expenditure convenience on behalf of the hotel and lazy. Breakfast at The Prestonfield lives up to the hotel's reputation. A true cut above."

"Booked for dinner in the hotel. Whilst the food was acceptable, it is regretted that there is no ‘dress code’ - other diners were in jeans and slovenly clothing. This isn’t acceptable in an establish where quality is supposed to be important. I did bring this to the attention of the owner and whilst he did acknowledge my complaint, he made it clear he had no intention of introducing a dress code. Such a shame - spoilt the evening!"

"A lovely lunch in the beautiful surroundings of the Rhubarb restaurant - a gift from our son and partner for our anniversary. On the whole, the experience was wonderful but just marred by the fact that three of us chose the Pork Rilettes starter with a "sourdough" type accompaniment. There was not enough biscuit for the amount of lovely pork rilettes so we asked the waiter if he could bring us one or two more and pointed out how difficult it was to fit it all on to the small amount of biscuit we'd been given His reply was, "yes it was challenging but do-able" Walked off but never returned with what we had asked The main course was perfect as was the rest of the very pleasant staff but just feel that the waiter's attitude was unnecessary"
