Impressive setting with lovely grounds to explore and within easy reach of North Berwick and other coastal towns. All the staff were very helpful and efficient. Excellent food in the restaurant both at dinner and breakfast with an option to eat in the lounge area rather than the restaurant. The afternoon tea can be recommended.

The first night was spent in one of the large Cottage Rooms but this was nowhere near 5* accommodation. The room was dark and musty and the bed was brick hard which meant no sleep. We were able to upgrade to a room within the hotel but were charged extra for each night. This room was better but still not 5* and we had to request coffee making facilities. The windows were in poor condition. The food in the restaurant was as good as we had expected but the menu did not seem to vary at all for the three nights we stayed.

Lovely buildings,nice setting,and gardens. Excellent dinner at Chez Roux restaurant.

Room was remote from the main building (which we knew) and the pathway had lots of puddles and was muddy due to heavy rain which meant we had to walk on the wet grass to get to the restaurant. Room was rather chilly when we checked in but did warm up quickly once the heating was turned on. Breakfast was very disappointing as all the food we were served was cold and clearly not made to order.

The food was fantastic. Free room upgrade was appreciated. The staff were also fantastic, especially taking cases to and from the car but (see below) The garden was incredible.

The pot-holes in the drive. The room was very cold when we arrived and took a few hours to heat up. We would have preferred that the heating be turned on sometime prior to our arrival. The combined fan and light switch in the bathroom meant disturbed sleep. The light switches were not easily accessed. One bulb was strobing.

The staff couldn’t have been lovelier or more accommodating to us! The room was so comfortable and clean and had a nice luxurious feel. The breakfast was absolutely divine and it was such a special stay start to finish.

The only thing that was nothing the hotel could have done really just something to note that if you intend to travel into edinburgh it does take a wee while to get there on the bus but nothing too awful!

Breakfast was very good, but a little slow in getting our tea, the gardens and surroundings were fabulous, it's clear that the gardeners take pride in what they do. Wish the bar area was a little bigger, it would seem there is plenty of space. Staff very helpful but felt that we could have been asked on being shown to our room if we wished a kettle and tea, I think these should be in the room without having to ask.

The room was very good but decoration was a little tired. Beautiful curtains but let down by 2 very cheap looking ceiling lights.

John and the team couldn’t make us more welcome. The hotel is in a beautiful setting and we had a room a short walk from the hotel entrance which worked perfectly for us and our little girl and our parents in the room opposite. The views from the breakfast / dining room are amazing - what a way to start the day!

Very hard to fault this place!

The hotel is unique and lovely. Set in beautiful gardens, it overlooks the famous Muirfield Golf Course. Staff were great and breakfast was first class. My golfing friends and I had a wonderful time. Guests can enjoy a relaxing drink inside in the bar or the library; or outside in the garden or by the croquet lawn watching the golfers.

Nothing really.

Location was excellent as i played golf at Muirfield that day. Great view of golf course from my caddie closet room! Breakfast was good with timely service

Previous visit was 2014 which was awesome! It appears with this visit there has been little updating of interior including carpeting, etc. The gardens did not appear to be as well maintained and foleage was not as vibrant as before but they may have to do with weather conditions.

What a beautiful place! The gardens are stunning. The food was excellent. The location for golf is awesome. All the staff are lovely.

It's not quite value for money. The attitude to cleaning could be a little more detailed, there were a lot of cobwebs. The coffee machine is an enigma! Most importantly, the water pressure is dreadful; utterly impossible to shave with hot water, and the shower was sometimes ok but never great

Location and accommodation

Lack of any atmosphere, breakfast choice was average, no iron in room ( iron board was there!) , room was cold on arrival ( we had to manually switch on the heating and bathroom towel rail etc.
