Why go
Against Gullane's smaller hotel options and Edinburgh's city stays, Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux is the country-house pick for travellers who want Muirfield proximity, quieter pacing, recognised luxury-hotel affiliation. Standard rooms make sense for golf-heavy trips; suite-level works when the room will be part of the stay, not just a base.
About Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux
Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux is a Gullane venue for travellers considering a hotel stay with a Chez Roux identity. The public details are limited, so the safest way to assess it is by the confirmed basics rather than by assuming a particular room type, facility list, cuisine, or service format.
The clearest confirmed trust signals are its Small Luxury Hotels of the World membership in 2025 and Virtuoso Luxury Hotel Partner status in 2026. The dress code is smart casual, which is useful to know when planning a stay or meal here.
Choose this for a Gullane stay with confirmed luxury-hotel affiliations
The main reason to keep Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux on a shortlist is that it combines a Gullane hotel setting with confirmed luxury-hotel network recognition. Beyond that, avoid relying on assumptions about facilities, pricing, cuisine, room categories, or service style unless the hotel confirms them directly for your dates.
If the plan needs Edinburgh convenience, Malmaison Edinburgh may be a more practical comparison. If the trip is centred on Gullane, Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux remains a relevant local option to compare with other nearby stays.
Confirm room and dining details directly
Room-category advice should be confirmed directly with the hotel, because the data here does not establish room types, sizes, amenities, or upgrade value. The practical approach is to decide how much time you expect to spend on property, then ask the hotel which category best fits that stay.
Chez Roux is part of the venue name, but specific claims about cuisine, menus, pricing, or meal periods are not here. For a broader local read before deciding, use Our full Gullane restaurants guide, then compare hotel options in Our full Gullane hotels guide. For drinks-led planning, the useful companion pages are Our full Gullane bars guide, Our full Gullane wineries guide, Our full Gullane experiences guide.
Cross-shop it with The Bonnie Badger or The Leddie if you want another stay to compare, or with Marine North Berwick for a hotel alternative. Fingal Hotel and Malmaison Edinburgh are more relevant if your plans point toward Edinburgh rather than Gullane. The verdict: choose Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux if its Gullane location, smart-casual positioning, confirmed luxury-hotel affiliations fit the trip; confirm any detailed facilities, room, dining, or pricing questions before booking.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Greywalls reads like an intentional work of architecture rather than a generic country pile. Built in 1901 by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the house retains a measured, dignified register: low rooflines, stone that follows the site's contours and a sequence of interconnecting public rooms that lead out to carefully composed gardens. The Jekyll‑attributed walled gardens, herbaceous borders and lawns for croquet and putting give the property a quietly curated, lived‑in feeling. The overall effect is refined and serene — a historic country house that privileges proportion, landscape and a restrained sense of charm.
Best For
Greywalls suits guests who prize architecture, quiet gardens and links‑side access. It is an appealing base for golfers — Muirfield begins at the property's edge and there are numerous nearby courses — and for city visitors seeking a restorative weekend away amid carefully tended estate grounds. Couples and anyone looking for a measured, dignified country‑house stay find the combination of historic rooms and Jekyll‑style gardens especially rewarding. Lawn games, tennis and quiet walks in the walled garden make the property feel like a small, self‑contained retreat.

Hotel context
How it compares in and around Gullane
Greywalls is the more country-house choice in Gullane, while The Bonnie Badger is the easier pick for travellers who want a village-inn feel and a less formal base. Choose Greywalls when the setting, Muirfield address, luxury-hotel affiliations matter; choose The Bonnie Badger when the priority is a more casual Gullane stay.
The Leddie and Marine North Berwick are better cross-shops for travellers weighing East Lothian atmosphere over a specifically Gullane address. Marine North Berwick is the more obvious coastal-hotel alternative, while The Leddie suits guests who want another out-of-town option without committing to the country-house tone.
If Edinburgh access matters more than Gullane, compare it with Fingal Hotel and Malmaison Edinburgh. Fingal is the stronger special-occasion city-adjacent cross-shop; Malmaison Edinburgh is the practical choice for urban plans. Greywalls is easier to recommend when the trip is built around East Lothian, golf, quieter evenings.
