Kingston House

Secluded fairy-tale site

Craigend Park
Edinburgh EH16 5XX
United Kingdom
+44 131 664 9694

Kingston House occupies a fairy-tale site with turrets and clusters of attic windows, secreted in self-contained gardens near the Liberton golf course. It's some way into town (about three miles to Princes Street) but worth it perhaps, for the uniqueness of the building alone. The interior of this Category A listed Victorian mansion has retained much of its period grandeur. There is an imposing staircase and a handsome varnished wood reception area. Each room has an individual charm and excellent facilities.

Prestonfield House Hotel

17th century grandeur Prestfield Road
Edinburgh EH16 5UT
United Kingdom
+44 131 668 3346 Peacocks strut their stuff in front of this 17th century mansion, which became a hotel in 1959. It is almost at the foot of Arthur's Seat and is surrounded by Holyrood Park. A recent refurbishment has extended the building and added 26 luxury bedrooms. The grandeur of the architectural features is complimented by period portraits and furnishings. The Tapestry Room holds a special charm - the man who designed its ceiling, Sir William Adam, is also responsible for the decorated ceilings in the Holyroodhouse Palace. The Leather Room's walls are adorned with exquisite red Spanish hide. For golf enthusiasts, there is an 18-hole course next door.
