"Terrible. Went for Champagne Afternoon tea on a Saturday. Arrived early and was put into a small room to the left and waited. Assumed this was a waiting room as we were early. A waiter finally showed up 20 minutes later and asked if we were there for the afternoon tea and then dropped two menus on the coffee table and walked away. 10 minutes later he came back and explained the menu and dietarys. We advised that we disliked 2 items, so he said these would be switched. The waiter then brought a tray and set up the coffee table for service. This was confusing as we'd booked into the restaurant, not a drawing room. The seats were uncomfortable to sit for 2 hours and the fire went out so it became cold quickly. We then got our tea, but we had to ask again for the glass of champagne, we finally got this 1 hour after arriving. When the afternoon tea food arrived, it was average at best. Definitely not worth the money. They hadn't switched the items we didn't want and some of the food was inedible. The salmon sandwich finger was good and couple of the dessert items were good. The scones were very dry and hard, they hadn't even been warmed. The carrot cake was also very dry. Once we ate we then waited for someone to come by so we could ask for the bill. No one came past again, so we got up and went to the desk to settle the bill and leave. Overall very poor, definitely not worth the £65 per person. Avoid."

Afternoon tea was perfect. Tea and food was matched by a great service. Social distancing measures were in place but it did not take anything away from the overall experience

The food at Prestonfield’s is always great. The tea service is pretty awesome. From antique teapots to a lounge that feels like you’re in an old manor. Definitely a worthwhile escape from hustle of Edinburgh View menu

Ambience is what you're paying for. The service was very good, tea excellent and food was great (if not really spectacular). But if you are tourists looking for what you imagine to be afternoon tea-- that's it! A bit expensive, but given the surroundings, that's not a surprise. Go here for a special occasion or experience-- but there are certainly cheaper options with tea and food than good or better...then, as I started, do not pay for the tea here.

Myself and my friends were very excited to visit Prestonfield for afternoon tea. We had seen the Summer Menu advertised on the website when we booked which sounded delicious. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and taken upstairs to be seated. We were given the menu for afternoon tea which was different from the one advertised as it was now an autumn menu. The member of staff took our order and we then began what was a very long wait for food. In this time a door to the balcony kept being opened and staff battled to close it. As it was a cold windy day it made us all feel very cold and uncomfortable. Our afternoon tea eventually came out. The service throughout was disappointing with very lit...
