Moments Made for Winter
Celebrate the magic of the season
In February, Prestonfield invites you to slow down together.
The city quietens, the grounds rest beneath winter light, and the house feels more intimate than ever. Long lunches stretch lazily at Rhubarb, conversations linger by the fire, and evenings settle into a rhythm of comfort and calm.
This is a season for shared moments — unhurried, indulgent and quietly romantic.
Celebrations & Events
From spectacular dinners and balls to corporate events and award ceremonies, our Circular Stables is ready for any occasion.
Location
You will find us just minutes from Edinburgh's Old Town, Waverley railway station, the city’s finest shopping streets, and the historic attractions of the Royal Mile.
