Built by architect Sir William Bruce in 1687 as a rural estate, every room of this boutique hotel is lavishly decorated with art, tapestries and regal decor.

There was a bottle of Prestonfield House's own branded champagne waiting on ice for us along with delicious nougat pieces.

Even the bathroom was as opulent as can be with red tiles, French toiletries and a gigantic roll top bath.
