My second stay and this one was just as good as the first. Wonderful (Lutyens) building and (Jekyll) garden with a great atmosphere and friendly staff - we even got to see the tortoises this time! …

A beautiful Lutyens house with lovely Gertrude Jekyll gardens. Very friendly staff. A delicious dinner. BUT this hotel is very tired and needs some real TLC. …

We spent one night here on our trip to Scotland to celebrate our anniversary, and we were so looking forward to it, but were very uncomfortable and disappointed in our stay. …

Dined here again after a stay last year. Food and service were perfect. We both went for the Venison, couldn't have been cooked any better. We always love having a cocktail and canapes in the library. Cannot remember our server name but she looked after us so well. Look forward to coming back soon.

A conveyor belt of American golfers surely keep this place afloat as it sits virtually in Muirfield golf course. Those of us who reside in the UK would do well to drive past this hotel in search of better. And you can do better. …

We've always enjoyed a Sunday lunch at Greywalls but on Sunday 23rd June we had such a new experience of the place. There was a significant change in the staff and experience of the staff.  …

It’s such a lovely place to stay. We only wanted to stay for two nights and ended up staying an extra night because it was so lovely. The beds were very comfortable, the views over golf course from our rooms were incredible, the food was scrumptious and the library gave this place a wonderfully social atmosphere. We loved sitting in the library in front of the fireplace listening to the piano player or reading the papers, or playing a game. I must make a special note that they were incredible accommodating with my various allergies like gluten and lactose allergy. The food didn’t only look but also tasted amazing. Apart from playing golf, there are so many lovely hikes and walks along the beach you can do and Edinburgh isn’t far either.
