The Stables, Prestonfield

Unique, opulent 5-star hotel in a historic building just five minutes from Edinburgh's Old Town, offering the privacy and seclusion of a country estate right in the heart of Edinburgh.

Set on 1,000 acres of parkland, this luxury 4-star hotel in a Baronial Manor House is only 7 miles from Edinburgh zoo and 9 miles from Edinburgh Castle. A staycation at Dalmahoy allows you to have the best of both worlds - a country retreat and city break rolled into one. Amenities include two 18-hole golf courses, an 18m indoor pool, kids play park and tennis courts, plus a spa with a sauna and steam room. There's also a beauty salon on-site. The signature Pentland Restaurant offers seasonal Scottish cuisine and has views over the golf course and The Brasserie offers more relaxed, informal dining for every occasion.
