Check availability Official websitePrestonfield House is a 17th-century mansion on a 20-acre estate shaded by ancient trees, with Highland cattle grazing freely on the grounds. The property is described as an urban oasis—a rural setting within minutes of downtown Edinburgh.
The mansion features a distinctive Georgian façade and has remained in the ownership of only three families across more than three centuries. The property is currently owned by James Thomson, who has preserved its historic treasures: Cordoba leather panels, Mortlake tapestries, antique silks and velvets, artwork, fireplaces, and period furniture.
Prestonfield House's location provides direct access to Edinburgh's principal historic landmarks. The Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace (the official Scottish royal residence), and St. Giles' Cathedral are all accessible from the property.

Specialist tour operators, including Local Eyes Tours, provide guided walks coordinated through the hotel.
