As university term begins, many parents face the whirlwind of settling students into Edinburgh: the hustle of luggage, forms, farewells, and the emotional rollercoaster of letting go. Amid the bustle, Prestonfield House offers a welcome escape, a moment to breathe, unwind, and reclaim calm before or after move-in day.
The Luxury Midweek Escape provides the perfect retreat, offering 20% off dinner, bed, and breakfast stays on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays until 26th November 2025. It’s an ideal way for parents to reward themselves after the university drop-off rush.


Steeped in 17th-century grandeur, Prestonfield House combines opulence, theatre, and seclusion just five minutes from the city centre. Located within 20 acres of landscaped gardens beneath Arthur’s Seat, it delivers the rare experience of a country estate in an urban setting.
Guests can relax in Rhubarb, where seasonal Scottish produce shines, from the twice-baked Comté cheese soufflé to the famous fish pie and Angus Beef Chateaubriand for two, paired with an award-winning wine list. The Midweek Escape also includes a three-course dinner, full Scottish breakfast, Champagne on arrival, and stays in individually designed suites.
