Prestonfield

Baroque extravaganza packed with Wow factor

Prestonfield has been billed as the ultimate retort to minimalism: think full-on theatrical Baroque. It‘s visual high drama from the word go with lavish swags, velvets and brocades.

Know It All

Hit the Spot
In its own 20-acre estate ten minutes from Edinburgh city centre.

Come here for...
● A seduction special. ● Seriously sexy boudoirs with plenty of tumble-into-bed appeal. ● Decadent decor guaranteed to turn your head.

Amenities
Prestonfield's Rhubarb restaurant offers a suitably sophisticated setting for dining, while the antler-decked Whisky room is just the place for an after-dinner malt. The garden boasts a Gothic teahouse, and a Range Rover with a black-kilted driver is at your service. You can borrow a bike or hit the jogging trails – with mineral water, fresh fruit and towels to dry off on your return.

Good to know
Definitely not for minimalists! This is a place to bring all your wicked intentions. 

Bedtime...

Bedrooms
18 rooms and four suites

Special features
Bedrooms are designed for lurve, with sleigh beds, sumptuous furnishings and mood lighting. Expect oversize pillows, silks and velvets. You'll also find a bottle of champagne, wi-fi access and a media cabinet housing a big plasma TV and DVD player.

Pillow talk
Luxury double rooms are just the ticket – piled with cushions and sporting deep boudoir colours and fabrics with views over the grounds. If you're feeling super-extravagant, check out the antique grandeur of the two-room Owner's Suite – it's like a museum peppered with hi-tech toys. 

Eat & Drink

Dining in
Chef John McMahon created Madonna’s wedding breakfast so prepare to be impressed. Only the best seasonal ingredients are used including local unfarmed fish and in season game, and are all served with indulgent touches. Try sweet garlic-crusted cod, roast fillet of Angus beef Rossini and an assiette of Rhubarb’s rhubarb desserts. There are four bars – all with open fires – and plenty of antique filled corners to unwind in later. Throw yourselves on the black crocodile banquettes of the Yellow room, whisper together in the candlelit Tapestry room or get whipped into shape in the Leather room.

Breakfast
Served until 10am. Fill up on eggs Benedict and sausages from posh pigs reared on a local ducal estate.

Room service
Available 24 hours a day.
