Old Course Hotel

This might be the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. From arrival to departure everything was terrific. Prosecco in the lobby, terrific suites with views of the 17 th and 18th holes of the Old Course, several excellent restaurants, they even drove our group to a restaurant after the cab we ordered was late. Didn’t get to the spa, but others said it was great as well

My wife and I stayed in this wonderful hotel for two nights as part of our Edinburgh Military Tattoo Tour. None of us in this group were golfers but we were very much enjoyed. All the staffs were very, very nice. The breakfast and the group dinner we had were really top notch. The view from the hotel or you just walk around the course was amazing! We saw a beautiful rainbow after the rain and the sunset on the course was as beautiful as it can be!

A mostly 4 star experience at a 5 star hotel. The rooms are quite modest/plain, ceilings low, with little amenities or personal touches that usually mark 5 star hotels. The outside looks like it was designed by a Ramada Inn architect. The concierge gave an effort to help us schedule activities for our kids, but the organizations they work with are so slow to communicate or not great (e.g. Blown Away is unprofessional and the aquarium is sad). The main concierge, N, was excellent, however. Very helpful. But overall less impressive for the price and expectations compared to other 5 star hotels.

We chose the Old Course Hotel for our elopement-style wedding with just six guests, and Jess was our wedding coordinator. Although it was a small wedding, we never felt any less important than the larger celebrations the hotel hosts. From the start, Jess took care of everything and kept in touch throughout with exactly the right amount of communication. We had very little idea of how the day would unfold and expected it to be quite simple—a ceremony, some photographs, a meal and a few drinks. What we experienced was so much more than that. Jess coordinated every aspect of the day and made it feel incredibly special. Everything ran seamlessly, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Looking back, that's probably a good job, as we hadn't given much thought to the logistics ourselves! Every member of staff we dealt with before, during and after the wedding was wonderful and made us feel genuinely valued. The entire day flowed effortlessly, and I know that was down to Jess and her team. I still think back to our wedding regularly and wonder how everything came together so perfectly. The answer is undoubtedly the organisation, professionalism and calm, reassuring manner of Jess and the team. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
