The hype
Guests adore the gardens and the 'Downton Abbey' vibe but often find the bathrooms and in-room tech dated.
Greywalls Hotel And Chez Roux
$240-480 / យប់
កក់នេះ ប្រសិនបើ You're a golf purist who wants to wake up staring at the 10th tee of Muirfield without the corporate sterile feel of a resort.
ហេតុផលដែលមនុស្សចូលចិត្ត
- Location literally on the edge of Muirfield Golf Course
- Edwardian country house architecture by Sir Edwin Lutyens
- Chez Roux restaurant offers serious French-Scottish fine dining
ចម្លងលឿន: A stunning architectural time capsule that feels more like staying with a wealthy, slightly eccentric aunt than at a modern hotel.
ពិនិត្យដោយ @itskimberlyfisher: I felt like I stepped into a period drama here. The library with the roaring fire was my favorite spot for a whisky, and waking up to that golf course view was pure magic. It's the perfect escape if you need total silence and old-school luxury.

Reality check
The 'peace and quiet' is occasionally shattered by groups of loud golfers reliving their rounds in the library or bar.
- You appreciate creaky floorboards and antique furniture over sleek modern design
- You are playing Muirfield or Gullane Golf Club
- You want a formal, old-school dining experience where jackets are encouraged
ភាពស្អាតនិងការថែទាំ
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service, though some reviews note dust in hard-to-reach corners of older rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated. Complaints exist about 'unstable WCs' and 'no hot water' in specific bad experiences.
- Maintenance: The building is over 100 years old and shows it. Peeling paint on window frames and creaky floorboards are part of the 'charm' but can feel like neglect to some.
- Linens & towels: High-quality Egyptian cotton, crisp and clean.
- Odors & scents: Old house smell (wood polish, old books, faint dust) rather than artificial air freshener.

ជម្រើសល្អបំផុត
- Caddie's Closet: Small single rooms but offer unbeatable direct views of the Muirfield course for a lower price.

គន្លឹះលម្អិត
- ✨
Ask for a tour of the gardens; they were designed by Gertrude Jekyll and are a masterpiece.
- ✨
The 'Whisky Room' is a great spot for a private drink if the main bar is rowdy.
- ✨
You can walk through the gate at the bottom of the garden to get a closer look at the golf course (respecting the players, of course).
៥ របៀងដែលគួរដឹងមុនពេលដែលអ្នកទៅលេង
💡The water pressure in some top-floor rooms can be 'gentle' (read: weak).
💡You might have to crouch to plug in your phone; outlets are often near the floor in odd corners.
💡The 'Caddie's Closet' rooms are tiny but have the best golfer-watching views in the house.
💡There is no elevator, so pack light or be prepared to wait for a porter.
💡The hotel is a popular wedding venue, so check if your stay overlaps with a big event which might limit access to public areas.
