About
With a rich history dating back to the 16th century, the glorious Macdonald Houstoun House is something rather special. Close to the iconic city of Edinburgh, it’s located in a peaceful spot amid 22 acres of picturesque woodland. When your mind and body are in the mood to get away from it all, this heavenly retreat fits the bill perfectly.
Superb retail therapy is to be found in Edinburgh’s famous streets, and of course there’s a breath-taking castle at the top of the Royal Mile that’s just waiting to be explored. You can spend some quality time at Edinburgh Zoo, gaze at the exhibits in the National Museum of Scotland and head to the top of Arthur’s Seat for some spectacular views of this wondrous city.
Getting away from it all is easy here, because the magnificent Houstoun House offers 73 gorgeous bedrooms. The three treatment rooms in the spa have all the tranquillity you’ll ever need, and there’s an excellent gym as well. Later, the elegant Jeremy Wares Restaurant will be waiting to wow you.
Please note: This Hotel operates a cashless system.

We had a very relaxing weekend at Macdonald Houstoun House. There were parts of the hotel that looked like they needed a bit of TLC and the swimming pool could be pool at a gym. However, our massages were amazing, we still really enjoyed reading by the pool and the food was great. We would definitely book again.

The hotel is lovely and quirky! The spa facilities are all clean, unfortunately the steam room was broken but otherwise in good repair. The relaxation room was lovely and staff were all super friendly. Could do with adding a hot tub but otherwise excellent value for money.

We stayed 31.12.22 for a night away for my partners 40th. This was our third time staying at the hotel and we had another brilliant stay. The staff are all so friendly, we had a lovely spa treatment while there which was very relaxing. The food is amazing, for new year it was a tasting menu which was really nice. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back again soon.

Spa was great. Unfortunately I found the dinner menu and the food very disappointing eg (bought in frozen desserts )which took away from what would have been a great overnight stay.

I would definitely recommend this Spa Day to anyone. Katie my masseuse was amazing. She made me feel like i was floating on air and she gave me the best massage i have ever had!!! The hotel itself does need a makeover but that is just a minor issue which can be fixed.
