Macdonald Houstoun House

The service was exceptional. Very friendly staff. Me and my girlfriend felt taken care of from the moment we arrived, until the moment we left. The food was great! we could not help ourselves and ordered roomservice dinners and lunches more than we originally planned to do. The breakfast was as advertised and we could even tweak it slightly (more coffee, fresh milk, no black pudding ect.). We always got breakfast with room service and the staff was always smiling and very nice. The room was as advertised and very accurate to the images on booking.com.

Very friendly and helpful, we had our small dog with us who was very welcome , did not mention a £20 charge for him when booking , but that's fine as the room was very spacious for him and the grounds were enough for a little run fir him in the morning

We booked this hotel because it was closer to the airport without going through Edinburgh traffic. This review it will not be fully representative of all the services as we dint us the pool, spa, or dining hall. The grounds and exterior of the house were beautiful and full of old world Scottish charm. The staff was pleasant, personable, and really helpful. The bed was super comfortable. We were leaving before the breakfast service opened so the Hotel made a to go bag for our morning journey. Overall, for our last night in Scotland it was lovely.

Generally very pleasant - lovely setting - lady on reception with a north eastern English accent was so helpful and friendly - decent breakfast included in the price but certainly would have been upset if i had paid the price separetely - not worth that at all although it was ok - continental setting was ok but not worthy of the price tag Quaint and original bar areas

Staff are amazing. We loved the vault bar and the swimming pool for our toddler son. The size of room was ideal as we brought our own travel cot. We would love an extra space such as a games room/ kids space for children to burn off some energy if the weather isn't great. The only thing we noticed was in one of the stairwells there were glasses and empty bottles left from previous guests and the remained there our full stay. Decor is slightly tired but we loved the feel of the hotel. Will be back if we can get another good rate.
