Prestonfield is one of those places determined to make an impression on you from the second you arrive at the premises.

Over the top fancy decor and service. Like stepping into another place and time. Great for a special occasion. Lovely quiet grounds just minutes from the City.

I booked this as a special surprise for my wife on our trip to EdinburghI regret it. Most noticeably, service was extremely slow.

Rhubarb is our go-to stopping point when visiting the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Set in the gorgeous Prestonfield House, even before you get to the beautifully decorated dining room, you are wandering around the beautifully landscaped gardens. Once inside, there is an a la carte menu of deliciousness, and during the Edinburgh Fringe, they have a three-course table d'hote menu, which never disappoints in terms of choice, value or quality. There are few restaurants we would return to time and time again, but Rhubarb is one we certainly will. Check out the hotel's website for some exciting events coming up very soon and stay for a stunning meal.
