Lovely setting with really attentive staff who provide excellent customer service. The food for breakfast was lovely and they even made my son some pancakes. Would be great is this was an option in the breakfast menu. The rooms are big and comfortable and clean. The pool was warm and we loved staying here. Only slight negative would be that it needs a bit of a face lift internally and externally. Thank you to all the staff at the hotel.

I had a wonderful recent stay at the Macdonald Houston House, and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Indeed I already had as this was my second trip there. Even before arriving, the reception staff were incredibly helpful in quickly resolving a minor issue with my booking. When I turned up on the night, everything was perfectly set up, which I really appreciated. Throughout my stay, the staff continued to be friendly and always willing to answer any questions, making me feel truly welcome. The breakfast team, worked like a well-oiled machine, ensuring a relaxed start to a busy day of exploring! The room was spacious, the shower hot, the bed comfortable, and the tea and coffee replenished daily. Parking was also easy and ample, which is always a bonus and removed any unnecessary stress when returning at the end of the day. Finally, the location is great. I used this as a base to visit Edinburgh, catching the tram from Ingliston park and ride. Or popping down to the designer, outlet centre and mall

Really disappointed for the price food was awful throughout first evening ate in the vault bar took over and hour for main courses to arrived and food was poor, breakfast not worth the money at all hardly any options and most things have a £6 surcharge really poor quality and portion sizes.Ordered room service macaroni cheese inedible dry and cold on arrival. Hotel could be lovely but looks tired we arrived and checked in to windows open in hard rain and carpets and sofa bed all wet. Sofa bed in terrible condition really sad as we stayed here in 2019 and it was lovely but needs a make over a better food for somewhere so isolated
