Greywalls

Fashions come and go. Elegance is more durable.

And they don’t come any more elegant than Greywalls Hotel at Muirfield in East Lothian.

An Edwardian country house, Greywalls Hotel is right on the edge of Muirfield championship golf course and has stunning views over East Lothian and the Firth of Forth.

Overlooking the world famous greens of the ninth and eighteenth holes, it has earned itself a reputation as a golfers’ paradise.

Not that you need to be a golfer to enjoy Greywall’s charms. The area round the hotel is fantastic for coastal walks, wildlife watching and exploring castles such as Tantallon.

The hotel itself is beautiful and its Chez Roux restaurant, which serves dishes created by Albert Roux, is a winner of the Hotel Restaurant of the Year at the Scottish Restaurant Awards.

Overnight stay

Available seven days a week, today’s Big Deal is for two people to enjoy a one night stay in a cottage room with a delicious breakfast the next
morning.

There is a £35 supplement, payable per night, for Friday and Saturday night stays.

Greywalls is a member of The Collection, a group of small, luxury hotels under the management of ICMI.

Large rooms

All 23 of the ensuite bedrooms at Greywalls are unique and each has its own décor and antique furnishings.

Most rooms enjoy uninterrupted views either over Muirfield and the Firth of Forth, or over the gardens and the gentle rolling farmland to the Lammermuir Hills.

Chez Roux

The award-winning restaurant at Greywalls Hotel is the brainchild of super chef Albert Roux. He describes his dishes as ‘French classical cuisine with a flair and lightness, using local product as much as possible.’

Breakfast is included in the offer. Should you choose to take lunch or dinner at Chez Roux then you are in for truly memorable meal.

The menus change regularly. A typical meal at Chez Roux might start with the Albert Roux twice baked cheese soufflé before moving on to a main course of Scotch beef rib-eye with bone marrow gratin, creamed spinach and red wine sauce.

To finish, dessert might be a dish like the Valrohna dark chocolate marquise with pistachio cream and mint chocolate chip ice cream

Happy guests

Greywalls Hotel has been making happy holiday memories for over a hundred years. This is what a recent visitor thought. We’ve edited it for length:

‘The hotel is a lovely old building with history oozing out of every window and garden gate. Walking out the back door onto the tenth green of Muirfield was a dream come true. I met Albert Roux, one of my culinary heroes to top off the day!”

‘The weather was excellent and we had some time to see the Firth of Fourth, Gullane Beach and some of the other golf courses. Excellent stay and the staff are unbeatable for pleasant service. I will go back again in two weeks!’_
