Great fantastic stay, staff very professional and well mannered. Did not want to leave the hotel. Food excellent, Who need Britain Got Talent when you have the staff at Houston Hotel? The room was absolutely fantastic clean and tidy. Have recommended to all my friends, family and work colleges. Look forward to my next stay. More

Perfect venue, 100% everything went like a dream. Staff know exactly how to do a wedding. We had amazing weather but all guests loved the venue, the main room was set up perfectly for the ceremony, meal and the evening reception. We'd like to say a big thank you to Catherine, Melanie and Kieran for making the day perfect and... More

The hotel is in the most un - prepossesing place just off the M8, and needs a lick of paint on all but it's public face on the outside, but despite this, it actually proved an excellent place to stay. Reception was efficient and helpful, I joined a business part late, after everyone else had finished their meal, but despite... More

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel with my husband the night before Christmas. Upon arrival, we were offered mulled wine and mince pies. Our room (feature room) was really spacious and up to MacDonald standard with lovely views to the garden and a huge bathroom. I also went for the Mother to be treatment at the Spa- and it... More

MacDonald Houston House is excellent for a short break. We stanigh two nights at the end of December 2011. The hotel is a great base if you want to visit Edinburgh which can be reached by train in 15 minutes. It has a lot of character and it dates back to the 15th century. We stayed in the original building... More

Attended this function with a group of friends. The Room was beautifully prepared. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. The meal was superb. The Ceilidh Band had everyone up laughing and dancing after Dinner. The Disco after the "Bells" kept everyone there also. Altogether, well organised, very enjoyable and good value. The best Hogmanay Function we have attended. John Rafferty More

Our room was beautiful and in keeping with the ambience of the whole place. The meals were very enjoyable and the staff were extremely friendly. The beautiful surrounding gardens were well maintained and we enjoyed walking... More
