“Excellent Base for playing golf and travelling around East Lothian and Edinburgh”
We have just returned after a weekend with our family staying at the Maitlandfield House Hotel.
The Maitlandfield is a charming old country house with a very nice restuarant, lovely gardens and kind and attentive staff.
The rooms are a mixture of sizes, from very small to very large . Some have bathrooms some only showers, but all our rooms ( we had booked 7 of them) were immaculate, cleaned thoroughly everyday, had limitless supply of hot water and plenty of towels. (The only thing missing was soap. The bathrooms had lovely quality shower/shampoo gel provided in a dispenser but it was too high up to use when in the bath!
( I am sure we would have been provided with some if we could have been bothered to ask.)
Water, tea and coffee making facilites are provided and topped up daily, We had 2 hairdryers in our rooms , flat screen tv and a trouser press which was very useful.
There was a wedding on when we stayed and we thought we might be disturbed by the noise, but we didnt hear a thing. Perhaps its the thick stone walls acting as sound proofing. We all enjoyed a good nights sleep. I should mention that the beds all appear to be new with very comfortable mattresses.
The chambermaids where all charming and there are plenty of staff here to cater for all your needs.
The reception team are on hand 24 hours ( night porters take over each evening) and
they couldn't do more for us.
I would say to other reveiwers that they should remember this isn't some large faceless modern hotel with identical rooms, it was once a family home and therefore you should expect all the rooms to be different. We all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and look forward to returning again very soon.
