I recently stayed at this hotel for two nights with my wife, we were there for a wedding. I appreciate that the hotel is made up of an old building but the level of finish was appaling.

The wedding was on a Saturday evening, but we'd arranged to meet a lot of the guests for drinks in the bar on the Friday evening. Despite another wedding going on, the staff were attentive and dealt well with the two groups being in the bar... More

Approx 30 mins from Edinburgh - The hotel was in an old hall with elegant traditional furnishings. I am not really... More

I booked six rooms for two nights and specificaly asked for a room for one of our party. I won't bore you with the difficulties in booking in save to say that they ask for a charge of £30 per room for booking in at 12 instead of at 2pm. The restaurant is up 3 flights of stairs and there... More

Overall our wedding day experience with Houstoun House Hotel was excellent. On our arrival we were greeted by your friendly, professional staff and led to beautiful, well maintained grounds providing a stunning backdrop for photographs. Throughout the evening the service was first class and many of our guests commented favourably on the quality of the meal served. We thoroughly enjoyed... More

My husband and I stayed here for a wedding in July during some of the worst rain (thunder and lightning). The hotel is spread over a number of buildings with the bar, restaurant and reception areas in the main building and most bedrooms across a quaint cobbled square. It was a lovely setting. When we arrived the day before the... More
