Greywalls Hotel & Chez Roux

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.

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.

We came for a two night stay so my partner could play at Muirfield with a golfing pal. This place is wonderful. The service is fantastic. The room is luxurious and immaculate. The food is very high quality (it is a Michel Roux restaurant) The family and golfing history of the place is so interesting . Rory McIlroy stayed there in 2013! The gardens were lovely , so well kept. The staff were without exception friendly and interested and engaged with us effortlessly! Special mention to Abi from India vis Dubai , and another guy who was Spanish and from Alicante . Also two lovely Aussie girls who were waitresses. And the general manager was always at hand. It’s such a peaceful location too. We loved it.

I genuinely don’t know where to begin as everything was just perfect. The staff were amazing, the room was fabulous and the food was on a different level. If you are looking for a peaceful break away from it all in a gorgeous country house hotel then this is the place to come. It’s also only a few minutes from Gullane and a short drive to North Berwick if you feel like venturing out to explore. We can’t wait to return, thank you.

We had a fantastic time at Greywalls last week. The hotel and gardens are stunning and the rooms were beautifully presented and maintained. It is a historic building built in the very 1900s. Stunning architecture which my wife, who is an architect, loved too. A word for the staff who were really accommodating and personable. Ian Gray, the General Manager, was fabulous too. He literally could not do enough to ensure our stay was fabulous. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying at this lovely hotel and setting.

What a delightful evening. We were staying nearby at Archerfield but had heard about the restaurant at Greywalls and managed to book a table. Originally owned by the Horlick family, the house is a delight, full of interesting rooms which are traditional but cosy and welcoming. One hallway had a display of photographs and press cuttings of famous golfers and celebrities who had stayed there, and played on the championship course. Our table had views of Muirfield, looking immaculate in the evening sunshine, and from our arrival onwards we were made to feel at home by the manager Ian, and the two delightful hostesses. The food was five star, as you'd expect from a Chez Roux restaurant. We will definitely stay overnight when next we're in the area.
