Introduction
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 provides a luxurious exclusive use venue set in country surroundings just 40 minutes
from Scotland's Capital city and Edinburgh Airport.
|
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 food
and service. Using only fresh produce from local
suppliers, we cater for the hungry golfer and discerning gourmet
with equal aplomb, and our 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.
