A five-star Edinburgh retreat

Tucked away in tranquil parkland beneath Arthur’s Seat, Prestonfield House is a five-star escape just 10 minutes from Edinburgh’s historic centre. This grand 17th-century mansion blends opulence with intimacy, offering a peaceful alternative to the bustle of the city, while still being close to iconic sites like Holyrood Palace, the Royal Mile, and Edinburgh Castle.

The estate is rich with character – you’ll see peacocks roaming the manicured gardens, and original period features throughout the property. You can relax in several lavish lounges or enjoy afternoon tea in the garden room with views over the lawns. Dining is a real highlight at Rhubarb, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant. Set within the house’s original dining rooms, it offers refined Scottish cuisine crafted from local, seasonal produce, all served in a theatrical and romantic setting. A curated wine list and attentive service elevate the experience further.
