We had a wonderful three night break here just before the second lockdown. The staff couldn't have done more to help us. They made us very welcome and attended our every need. We thoroughly enjoyed the open fire in the library every evening, and the staff even lit it especially for us in the afternoon, when the weather kept us inside. We had the option of eating in the dining room or by the fireside for the evening meal as it was quiet, given the current restrictions, and all the meals we had were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the breakfasts, including the bruleed whisky porridge! The rooms were really comfortable and warm, but there were no tea-making facilities, which may have been because of the covid risk. The hotel has an interesting history and the Jeykell designed grounds were a pleasure to explore. We would love to come again and see them at their best in summer. We can definitely recommend this hotel, even for non golfers like ourselves. We also felt quite safe with all the precautions taken against covid infection.…
We stayed here to celebrate my parents’ diamond wedding anniversary (in a socially distanced manner!). The hotel is cosy, comfortable and with lovely food. The staff were so attentive - especially Rachel, who met us at the door and made sure we had everything we needed. She couldn’t have been more helpful. Surajit was also very attentive and friendly. We ate in a small private dining room, which was perfect for the occasion. The food was delicious, both at dinner and breakfast (which had a great choice of dishes). Highly recommended and I hope we will return. Thank you.
We returned for dinner after a long gap. The welcome was warm, the service highly professional as it has always been. The staff are very committed to Covid rules but it all worked smoothly. They have made it a safe environment. There is only one set price menu but it is designed to suit all tastes. The food was as ever beautifully presented and a delight to eat. The environment at Grey walls is hard to beat.
My wife used to visit Greywalls as a child and we have visited over the 50 years of our marriage. Planning a stay we called in on our way home to Berwick fr9m Edinburgh, simply to see how they were faring in the current circumstances. Warm and friendly staff and Manager welcomed us and after our sanitising explained that they had adjusted successfully and bookings were strong. They they asked if we would like a cup of tea, a wonderfully hospitable offer which we gladly accepted to break our journey, enjoying the tea in the library before taking a walk in the splendid gardens Highly recommended Designed by the celebrated Edwardian architect Sir Edwin Lutyens as a 'dignified holiday home' Greywalls was built in 1901 and still retains the charm and character for which it is renowned. A haven of peaceful tranquillity it enjoys a reputation for the excellence of its food and service. As well as the elegant drawing rooms and delightful dining areas the house has 23 en suite bedrooms. The delightful walled gardens are attributed to Gertrude Jekyll and contain a grass tennis court, croquet lawn and putting green as well as borders filled with herbaceous plants. …
This superb building is on the East Lothian coast overlooking Muirfield. The rooms are delightful - comfortable and spacious. Ours overlooked the fabulous garden. The manager is efficient and friendly and all the staff are wonderful. Two small criticisms, firstly the morning toast was made from average quality bread and secondly there was no marmalade available on the first morning. Otherwise the sty was perfect.
