In an age when taste and style seem to be the first sacrifice to convenience, it is a rarity to find a place like the Craigiebield House Hotel.
Situated in the splendid, picturesque Midlothian countryside, this Victorian House has been generously and sympathetically refurbished to retain its inherent charm while providing every comfort and convenience to satisfy discerning guests.

Built in 1824, the hotel is in the historically rich town of Penicuik. The town and Midlothian itself are so close to Edinburgh that it was once known as Edinburghshire. Penicuik itself is well known for its erstwhile paper mills and fine crystal ware.
It owns grand views of the undulating Pentland Hills which are emblematic of Scotland’s gentle, idyllic landscape. A sense of sophisticated county life comes to mind while enjoying the hotel’s landscaped gardens which carry the eye to the hills.

This feeling of country luxury pervades the hotel, from the tasteful furnishing of all 18 en-suite rooms, to the bar and the restaurant where a touch of elegant art deco lingers.
|
Craigiebield House Hotel has become a favoured place for large occasions like Weddings and Conferences. The hotel is ideally suited to accommodate up to 200 people in the Pentland Suite. The airy and welcoming conservatory is perfect for a boardroom style gathering of about 30 people.
Both of these rooms are licensed for Civil Ceremonies and few would deny the that the charm of the premises and the marvellous views are the ideally disposed to occasions of love and romance.

Of course, the availability of the rooms, three of which are junior suites with Jacuzzis, means that every detail, want and need of a large occasion are contained within the grounds.
|
|
Particularly perfect for occasions where a number of people are getting together from different places for any period of time. Although the peaceful countryside might make it hard to believe, the airport is very close for those who have to travel any lengthy distance.
While the Midlothian Hotel location and premises provide convenience and charm, Craigiebield’s excellent restaurant takes care of those vital culinary aspects with the same unpretentious approach to marrying country cooking with balanced sophistication.
|
|
Preferring an ethic of fresh and sustainable local produce, the fine dining menu changes to accommodate seasonal dishes and take advantage of the freshest, most prized ingredients.
|
Using these same local delights, the lighter all-day menu offers a range of delicious staples from classic sandwiches on homemade bread to irresistible warm Apple Pie & Custard.
From romantic Midlothian Hotel weekends in pampered luxury to quiet business stopovers in Edinburgh, as well as for large and special occasions such as weddings, The Craigiebield House Hotel lends any visit something rare and special.
