Greywalls Country House Hotel

Located right beside Muirfield with views out over the Firth of Forth, Greywalls Country House Hotel is a classic East Lothian base for a proper links-golf trip. This is not a resort built around a clubhouse, it's a characterful country house that just happens to sit next to one of the game's most famous championship venues. If you're planning a multi-course tour, the setting does a lot of the heavy lifting, but it's the atmosphere that seals it: relaxed, quietly smart and built for golfers who want comfort without fuss.

Greywalls puts you within easy reach of the rest of East Lothian, so pairing Muirfield with rounds at Gullane, North Berwick and Dunbar is straightforward. And after a day of coastal breeze, it's hard not to appreciate coming back to open fires, classic interiors and a team who understand that golfers run to tee times, bacon rolls and a well-timed drink.

If you like your golf trips with a bit of heritage, a bit of romance and a lot of convenience, Greywalls is an excellent option. It's one of those places that feels special without ever needing to tell you it is.

Who is this for? Golfers or groups seeking a high-end, heritage base for an East Lothian links tour, with direct access to Muirfield and easy reach of Gullane, North Berwick and Dunbar.

Who is it best for? Serious golfers who value understated elegance, attentive service and the chance to stay in a historic country house right on the edge of one of the world's great championship venues, rather than a modern resort with nightlife.

Accommodation at Greywalls Country House Hotel

Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1901 and owned by the Weaver family since 1924, Greywalls has the sort of history you can actually feel when you walk in. There are 23 individually styled bedrooms, so you're not getting a one-size-fits-all chain-hotel template. Expect antique furniture, period touches and a layout that feels like a private house first and a hotel second. No two rooms are the same, and that's part of the charm, you're staying somewhere with character, not a cookie-cutter resort.

The public spaces are a big part of the appeal for golf groups. There are comfortable drawing rooms and quieter corners where you can debrief the day's round, check tomorrow's tee times or simply get out of the wind for an hour. Service is attentive and very switched on, especially when it comes to the rhythm of a golf tour: early starts, quick breakfasts and sorting out taxis or transfers. The team here know how to look after golfers, and if you've had a soaking on the links, they'll help you get sorted. Hospitality is slick and golfer-friendly, you'll usually find things sorted before you've even thought to ask.

If food matters to your group, Greywalls is a real highlight. The main dining room overlooks Muirfield's 10th tee, which makes for a memorable evening view when the light drops. The cooking leans classic and confident, with a strong focus on Scottish ingredients when they're in season. Add a good wine list and it's exactly the sort of dinner that turns a golf break into a trip you'll talk about for years. After 18 in an East Lothian breeze, dinner here hits the spot.

For golfers planning a serious East Lothian tour, Greywalls offers something genuinely rare: a base that matches the quality of the golf. You're not just close to Muirfield, you're right on it, and the rest of the region's championship courses are all within a short drive. Add in the house's history, the level of service and the sheer comfort of the place, and it's hard to think of a finer option for a links golf trip in Scotland. If you want to build a proper links tour around Muirfield, you can include Greywalls on your next East Lothian golf break with Your Golf Travel.
