“Nestled amid 20 acres of gardens near Holyrood Park, this is a luxurious retreat from Edinburgh's bustle; the unique architecture sets a theatrical tone. The Rhubarb restaurant stands out, though, with some experiences falling short of expectations despite its awards. Ultimately, it presents a distinctly opulent stay.”

the staff were very friendly. the food was amazing. the whole place was beautifully decorated (a great touch for a special occasion).
i never received my tea before leaving, even though i ordered it about 30 minutes prior. the table was not cleared of dishes promptly, it felt very overcrowded. i also noticed a cracked teacup at my place setting.

nice night event team scalding hot dining room
The Christmas party night on December 6 was so fun! It was held in the stables. The event team and management made it a nice night. We plan to return in 2026.
The room, described as a suite, felt awkward. It seemed like two rooms joined together with two bathrooms. The towel rails were scalding hot. The dining room had tables and chairs packed tightly.

the receptionist was cute, fine, i suppose.
i had some issues with the room. the extractor fan was silent, though they confirmed it was working. i'm not sure what that means, but it did little to improve my stay.
