Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux, an SLH Hotel

A truly fabulous hotel that feels like more of a home than a hotel. My son and I visited for a short golf break and we loved it. I sat with a smile on my face enjoying a whisky by the fire with sensational piano music from resident pianist Tony. The breakfasts and evening food was delicious. The rooms were spacious and extremely comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and professional and welcoming. This will now be our go to hotel in the area.

Excellent 1 night stay in this beautiful hotel. Can highly recommend as a quiet luxury stay for couples and solo travellers, superior service and very warm and comfortable interiors. In the golf wing the bed was soft and views were beautiful. Javier and Craig both were very helpful and offered high levels of customer service.

A wonderful hotel for a special birthday celebration. The location itself is special, looking over Muirfield Golf Course. The large gardens, great for strolling round, are dominated by the beautiful hotel building. Inside antique furniture adds to the relaxing and tranquil atmosphere within a unique and quaint setting. We were warmly welcomed by Craig who showed us the main public areas and took us to our very comfortable and clean bedroom. Our dining experience both at dinner and breakfast was very enjoyable with great food and attention. Superb Kate and attentive and friendly general manager Ian provided a level of personal attention and care that one can only dream of. Overall, our stay at Greywalls was probably our best-ever hotel experience and we hope to return.

We had a fantastic experience today at the Cookery Demonstration and Lunch menu with Michel Roux Jr at Greywalls Hotel and Chef Roux. The staff were all fabulous and made us very welcome and the event itself was very well organised and run. The cookery demonstration with Chef Roux was excellent, with a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The lunch and wine pairings were incredible - delicious and very generous servings. Would definitely recommend this event and we will absolutely look out for this again in future.

This is a beautiful old hotel adjacent to Muirfield Golf Course.||The interior is very old school and traditional with lots of historic touches including a library, grand piano and lots of pictures of famous visitors to the hotel down the years. The gardens are manicured and lovely and there is a croquet lawn at the front.||Our bedroom was well sized and followed the same style. The shower was very good and the bathroom large. There was a TV and side table with books. The bed was comfortable. Tea and coffee was available on request.||Breakfast was excellent - a modest buffet selection and then hot food menu, including porridge, eggs and full Scottish breakfasts.||Prices were expensive. Staff were very good.

Had afternoon tea for two as a Christmas gift. Beautiful setting, ate in conservatory overlooking gardens. Good selection of teas available plus coffee. Served two warm savoury dishes & sandwiches. Then, 2 small scones & clotted cream & jam. Lots of small tray bakes & two different cakes. There was quite a significant amount of food!! All very scrumptious! Never ending tea & coffee!! Very pleasant service, staff very professional & polite!! Had a lovely afternoon experience. You can either dress up or down!! Just make sure you are hungry & have elastic waisted clothes!!

A beautiful setting, well kept gardens, charming accommodations, original art and warm, genuinely hospitable staff. Dining was a very nice experience too - delicious food and top notch service. ||The hotel has recently been sold to an investment firm. We are hoping they’ll maintain the charm and intimate feel of the property.

Such a lovely place to stay! Comfortable and delightful staff. Our room 5 had wonderful views over the golf course. The gardens are gorgeous and a delight to walk around.|Dinner was mostly superb - especially the pork. The ravioli was a bit disappointing and I would not recommend it, but my husband loved his terrine. Kipper for breakfast was delicious, probably better than full Scottish which my husband had.|I would love to return and stay for longer.

Maybe a 4.5 star experience but I can't bring myself to round down, so up it is! An absolutely stunning hotel and restaurant. Well worth the 35 mins drive from Edinburgh city centre. Impressive to say the least. We took my mum there for Mother's Day as they had a reasonably priced set menu on offer (I say reasonably in the sense that I'd have expected to pay more at a chez roux restaurant!). The mains of confit of duck and beef were fabulous. My Yorkshire pudding was a bit greasy but I'm picking fault here. I ate the whole thing! My pâté starter was tasty, kind of terrine like, wrapped in pastry. Yummy. My mum and brother both had the haddock. It seemed to go down well (i don't eat fish so couldn't try) although Simon said he didn't think what he had was representative of the menu description. Clean plates all round though! My cheese board was the star of the show for me. Check out the picture I posted. Yes! It was ALL mine! I liked that you didn't have to pay a supplement for the cheese as all too often greedy restaurants attempt to do. Not here! 6 small but adequate bits of cheese each of which are explained upon serving. Top it off with quince jelly, a generous portion of crackers, grapes, celery AND chutney... Drool..... The food was gorgeous, not without tiny faults here and there but you'd have to look very hard to pick at anything really. The small touches really made the experience 5 star for me. Homemade canapés, warm bread and homemade treats with our coffee inc macaroons, blackberry jellies and chocolate covered walnuts. I was so stuffed by that point but it would have been rude not to....:) The only thing I could criticise was the service. It was a bit slow. I don't mind having a lazy Sunday lunch but why they moved us from our comfy fire seat to the dinner table but took another 15 mins to serve the starters is beyond me. Move us when the food is nearly ready next time please. Unfortunately it started to snow as we left - I had really wanted to take a walk around the grounds. From what I could see of the garden from the window I know it will be beautiful in the summer. I took a peek at the afternoon tea menu and I will definitely be back! The prices seemed quite reasonable. You must go here! It's more of a special occasion place but if you have loads of money or just fancy a blow out then what the hell!

This place is located far away from all the turmoil of every day's life, but still close enough to get into Edinburgh under half an hour. A hidden gem stone! Get first class servings, walk along the sandy beaches, view parts of the Firth of Forth, experience some of the surrounding golf clubs...... That's what I did. As soon as you drive into the private pathway you feel like being sent back in time. The staff welcomes you with elegant courtesy and you are accompanied to your room, feeling at home straight away (some less or more I assume :-) ). The rooms are adequately decorated and very clean. We had a cheaper priced room, but be wary that the cheapest room during off peak season is about £240 for 2 people sharing. Lol. If you can call this cheap..... For single occupancy I think you pay from £210 upwards. it's outrageous that single people are always charged more. As we have the money.... When dining you are being served with gallant mannerism ensuring that your needs are being met satisfactory. The food is very tasty and delicious, but take into account that if you eat in the a la cart restaurant you might be hit by a higher than £50 bill charge per person. So be prepared! The menu changes, such expect to get something different another time around. If you want to spoil your other half - then do! There is no doubt that because of its prestigious and expensive existence this place might only be affordable for special occasions or if you are not hit by recession. But if you are able to go there, enjoy the tranquillity that it has to offer. I know I will be back soon for Afternoon Tea, which is around £18.50 and therefore "just" affordable.

Our experience at the Greywalls was only for lunch, which I would rate 4.5 stars. We never would have known or found this place, except we had a driver who suggested we might like to stop for a lunch somewhere "not a pub". And we ended up at a "country house" called the Greywalls! First off, the building, architecture, ambiance, etc. is all fantastic and certainly not something you find every day. You pull into the driveway to a stunning view of the curved front of the building, walk into what feels like an old-world classic country house, and then are seated in what feels like a living room or family room. Our group were seated on couches and comfy chairs in a room that felt a bit like a study, with a great view overlooking the golf course. Lunch was great, we had soup and mini-burgers with chips. The presentation of the food was very nice, and the three mini-burgers added up to the equivalent of a decent sized burger. And the burgers themselves were the absolute best I've ever had in the UK. (I'm American and generally find the burgers in UK are not so great.) The chips were also about the best I've had...obviously hand-cut and nice and thick! The service was great, and the prices were reasonable compared to everywhere else we ate during this vacation.

the food was exquisite but the prices were a bit ott! the cleanliness of the place was top notch and the atmosphere was lovely. Although I did feel slightly out of place as a lot of the people were posh and the waiters were polite and posh too! recommended by me!
