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
快速了解: A stunning architectural time capsule that feels more like staying with a wealthy, slightly eccentric aunt than at a modern hotel.
@itskimberlyfisher 的评论: I felt like I stepped onto a movie set staying here. The room has so much character with the antiques and tartan touches. It's incredibly cozy and perfect for a quiet weekend away. Highly recommend if you love history.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Guests adore the gardens and the 'Downton Abbey' vibe but often find the bathrooms and in-room tech dated.
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
清洁与维护
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.

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is there a gym or pool?
No. There are tennis courts and a croquet lawn, but no pool or fitness center.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, but only in the 'Cottage Rooms' located in the grounds, not in the main house. Fee is £20 per night.
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
No. Fans are provided, but the historic building does not have A/C.
How far is the walk to the beach?
Gullane Bents (beach) is about a 10-15 minute walk or a 2-minute drive.
Is parking free?
Yes, there is ample free parking on-site.
Can I play Muirfield if I stay here?
Staying does not guarantee a tee time. You must book Muirfield separately, often a year in advance.
内部人士建议
✨
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).
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡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.
