My friend and I have stayed here previously albeit it was a few years ago and under different management and had an absolutely delightful time. We can't say the same this time around. The issues started when we came down for breakfast, we saw two Indian men standing at reception on their phones as we walked into the restaurant, they did not greet us it also took them almost 10minutes to come into the restaurant to give us menus and ask if we wanted tea or coffee. They took our order and then proceeded to disappear again for a number of minutes during this time other guests came into the restaurant and sat themselves or got themselves menu's. Once they finally reappeared with our breakfast meals we again had to ask if we would be receiving pastries at some point as we had already asked twice previously, we were passed off with a very dismissive "Yes, yes". But about 5 minutes later we did finally receive them. We saw these so-called managers spend more time on their phones and walking in and out of the restaurant than actually serving guests, may I add that this wasn't a particularly busy morning and if they had been doing their jobs correctly nothing they couldn't handle. I could go on about the issues of this hotel (service, decor, rooms) but it's not worth it because the standard as clearly fallen from where it was a few years ago. We won't be back, and I will be sure to tell the rest of my friends and family to book elsewhere in the future.…

1-star review for the absolute disappointment that was our stay here. This hotel although on the outside looks absolutely stunning has so many issues on the inside both in the extremely outdated decor and the absolute incompetence of who we could only assume was "management" due to the suits. The room we stayed in was not only outdated but numerous items were either broken or not included despite it being advertised on the website. 1. Chair was broken and dusty 2. Windows didn't latch properly 3. No tea or coffee making facilities despite being advertised 4.Constant noise throughout the night 5. Chips and cracks in the paint work of the room 6. Carpets looked like should have been replaced a decade ago For the amount of money, we spent and for what is supposedly a "5 star" hotel it was an absolutely appalling standard. Not to mention the service from the staff in the restaurant who spent more time either standing around staring or looking at their phones, we had to constantly ask for our water and wine to be topped up because apparently even with a nearly empty restaurant and three staff members this was too difficult for them, our food not only took ages to come out but once we'd finished our meal, our plates sat empty on our table for a good 15minutes after we'd finished because again the staff obviously had better things to do. When we came down for breakfast the following morning it was like watching children in suits, running around not knowing what to do, we found it embarrassing to see. We seated ourselves as we couldn't find anyone, we then waited 10minutes for someone to take our order, then waited another 15minutes for our tea and coffee to arrive and when we finally got our food it was borderline cold as we could only assume it had been sitting and waiting for someone to get and bring to the table. The only highlights were the gardens and the food (when it finally arrived to the table). The gardens were absolutely stunning and immaculately kept (the only area of this hotel that is 5 star). Overall save your money and stay somewhere else because this is definitely not a 5 star hotel, this would have to be not only the worst hotel my husband and I have stayed at but also the most poorly managed.…

We have stayed at this hotel several times and have always enjoyed it however on this occasion thanks to the Manager David and his staff was the best ever. Service second to none. David was amazing and always seemed to be there. Unflappable and confident. Nothing was too much trouble . Must mention Javier as well. Exceptional visit. Thanks

Stayed recently mainly due to the fact my husband wanted to golf and there is no better place according to him. I have to say, despite being persuaded to come along I was throughly surprised at how much I enjoyed my Husband's golf trip. The area was so refreshing and relaxing. The hotel is steeped in history and you feel this while there. The staff treated it like a home and took the time to speak to the lone woman enjoying her cake and champagne while watching the golfers tee off. And of course my promised 'romantic' meal at the end of the day was absolutely beautiful. Thank you to all. Wonderful time and hope to be back!

Not long returned from another wonderful visit to the East Lothian area and another visit to Greywalls Hotel. We stayed for 2 nights in a large double room overlooking Muirfield golf course. The weather was delightful, which always helps when wanting to get out and about. When we weren't out touring, we had the comfort of our room and lovely staff taking care of our every need. We had 2 lovely meals when dining each evening, and they even presented a little plate after dessert to take note of our Anniversary. All in all, a great experience from a property that gives a real "home from home" feeling. Thanks, again and until next time.

We stumbled upon the hotel at a similar time last year. Having done another trip to Scotland this year, we booked another few nights in the fabulous Greywalls. As it was last year, another fantastic experience. The staff could not have been more helpful. We were met by David, the General Manager who looked after us on several occasions during the stay. We dined one of the nights and it was wonderful. I understand the Head Chef has changed since our last visit, but we believe the food has gotten better. Service was wonderful from some new faces in the team, and the room was as you would expect, and with a nice view of the golf course. All in all, we cannot fault our time here. We hope to be back next year for another wonderful stay.

Very disappointed by our experience. We have been to Greywalls on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed it. However, the limited menu did not reflect the price of the meal. The quality was generally good although the flat iron steak was a little chewy. Looks like it is having difficulties with finding staff.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to Greywalls hotel. As with many aspects within the hotel, we pride ourselves on the cuisine that we offer, so I am saddened that you have not found this to your standard when you visited. Equally important and with the guest at the forefront of our minds, is the price. We certainly feel the price is in keeping with likeminded properties with similar standards in the area, but appreciate we need to offer everything to the high standard we strive for each and every time to warrant the cost. Please accept my apologies if this has not been the case on this occasion and hope to welcome you back in the near future. Kind Regards, David Robertson, General Manager

We had 4 rooms booked as we were working locally and looked stunning on the website . We weren't interested in the golf or the restaurant so I can't comment on that side of the hotel . Our work has us placed across the country every week so are used to many types and standards of accommodation. We ended up with the 4 " caddy" single rooms which did not match the price tag they came with . This is a 4 / 5 star hotel , but these rooms were so badly outdated , worn , broken with stale odour ....they shouldn't even expect a 2 star rating . It's almost a battle of words between reality and what would have been described as by the hotel ... They would be classed as classic and vintage - we called them outdated and worn ........they would say the rooms have character ....we would say they smelt stale and old . They would say the windows and furnishings were rustic.... We say they are just broke . They would say the room is in peaceful and tranquil ....we say it's a non stop humming and banging from the boiler or central heating which does not stop throughout the night . One of the showers did not work ... One of the sinks were cracked ...... The windows were badly in need of repair that they didn't even close so the hotel's attempt to fix was to fill the gap with insulation tape . There were no tea / coffee making facilities in the room ( booking site said there should have been ) . The floor boards creaked at every step , the carpets looked like the they were used to tee off from. We have stayed in 2 star B&Bs that blow these rooms away so my question to the hotel is ....why have these rooms not been updated as you could easily decorate these rooms to a far higher standard with the amount that you are charging . I'm not going to critique these rooms without evidence ... The window image really says it all ..…

Dear Guest, Thank you for your valued custom and feedback. We were aware of your discontent for the Caddy Rooms shortly after your arrival. Not for what you have now outlined, but because they were single rooms and this being deemed unacceptable for you, even though this is what was booked on the website by yourselves, where it clearly outlines the single room status. The rooms are priced at a third of the price compared to our next category up, so approximately £130 B&B per night. These rooms are a firm favourite with our guests and are constantly let from early Spring through to the Autumn months. The price tag is fully justifiable. This being said, yes, all should be in full working order and presented to the high standard we pride ourselves on, so please accept my sincere apologies for any short comings that you have found not to be to your standard. With the feedback provided, we will certainly take on board and use all helpful elements to improve. With thanks and kind regards, David Robertson, General Manager

We stayed at Greywalls many years ago and were looking forward to having lunch there with a friend who was staying for three nights, particularly as the building and the surroundings are very attractive. However the experience was underwhelming, to say the least. Nobody is at the entrance to greet you and we had no idea where to go. Staff were pleasant enough (when we found some!) but everything seemed a bit haphazard. Lunch was of a decent 'pub grub' standard but at twice the price, which neither the food or the service really merit. We had lunch in a small bar (dining room not available) and our conversation was completely drowned out for about 5 minutes by a member of staff hand grinding ice for one of our drinks (the place was so dead I can assure you that he could easily have found somewhere else to do it), water we had asked for didn't arrive and dessert took forever to appear. Greywalls has the feel of somewhere that feels it is so special (with prices to match) that it doesn't need to make an effort anymore - sadly it isn't that special and there are plenty of alternative restaurants and hotels locally that people can take their custom to instead. It looks like Greywalls is past its best and we won't be coming again.…

We were given a generous £ 200 voucher as a birthday gift to use at Greywalls. The gardens are beautiful and the actual building is stately and welcoming. Our room was spacious and the huge bathroom was very nice though in need of deoration. It shouldn't be too difficult or expensive to give the windows a lick of paint. We checked in on a Sunday afternoon for a 1 night stay. In the afternoon the hotel felt soulless. There was a musty smell in the public areas. The staff were very pleasant. We went elsewhere in Gullane for a superbe lunch. We just had a bar meal in the evening in the hotel and it was good. (Thanks to Kat for finding us a place in the restaurant) . Over and above our voucher we had to pay approximately £187 just for the bed and breakfast. I would never recommend this place to anyone and I cerainly won't return. Even the bedroom had no convenient socket to plug a phone charger in. Flatters to deceive.…
