GREYWALLS offers its guests the best and most gracious of home comforts in this truly magical part of Scotland. Designed by the celebrated Edwardian architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, as a 'dignified holiday home' Greywalls was built in 1901 and overlooking the championship golf course at Muirfield and the Firth of Forth. Today, Greywalls is one of Scotland's best country house hotels providing luxury accommodation in country surroundings just 40 minutes from Scotland's Capital city and Edinburgh Airport. Greywalls also has an enviable reputation as the perfect venue for events and weddings. The style and comfort of Greywalls is, perhaps, best exemplified by the quiet luxury of the panelled library; a large, peaceful room lined with books, comfortably furnished and warmed by a log fire. There are 23 bedrooms within the grounds of Greywalls plus a further 4 bedrooms in the Colonel's House located just a few hundred yards from Greywalls. A haven of peaceful tranquillity, Greywalls enjoys a reputation for the excellence of its cuisine and service. The chefs, using only fresh produce from local suppliers, cater for the hungry golfer and discerning gourmet with equal aplomb, and the team of young, friendly staff are always on hand to provide discreet and kindly service. The delightful walled gardens, with their magnificent views, are attributed to the world renowned designer, Gertrude Jekyll. The walled garden, lavender borders and holly hedges hiding secret enclaves, are meticulously maintained in all their original glory to this day. Within the grounds grass and hard tennis courts, croquet lawn, gardens and terraces are there to be enjoyed until nearly midnight at midsummer, such are the long evenings in this part of the world. For the golfer there are a dozen courses, including several championship ones, within 20 minutes drive of Greywalls. The house itself overlooks the world famous greens of the 9th and 18th holes at Muirfield. Nearby, sandy beaches, beautiful and so often deserted, are a haven for a myriad of seabirds, and the glorious scenery of East Lothian with its ancient castles, abbeys, stately homes and picturesque fishing villages are but a few minutes drive away along peaceful, winding country lanes. Greywalls, located in this delightful yet undiscovered region of Scotland, is the perfect haven for an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of today's pressured world.
