The Spotlight on Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

Luxury, Leisure, and Late Nights — Just Outside Edinburgh

Set within 1,000 acres of picturesque parkland, Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club blends historic charm with modern comfort. Located just a 20-minute drive from central Edinburgh and easily accessible via the A71 and M8, this elegant 18th-century country estate offers a tranquil escape after a high-energy concert night. With two 18-hole golf courses, a full-service spa, and upscale dining options, it's a top pick for music fans who prefer their post-show downtime wrapped in Scottish luxury.

Why Concert-goers love it

Though it’s not in the city center, Dalmahoy’s location makes it surprisingly convenient for concert-goers—especially those with a car or using rideshares. After a loud night at nearby venues, the peaceful countryside surroundings offer the perfect recovery zone. The hotel’s 12:00 PM check-out time is a bonus for sleeping in post-show, and the ample free parking is ideal for those driving in. The serene setting ensures quiet nights (after the loud ones), and the late-night bar and room service options mean the night doesn’t have to end when the encore does.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends wanting a scenic base near the city
- Solo travelers seeking a relaxing stay after a big gig
- Couples making a romantic weekend of a concert
- Fans looking for a quiet, comfortable place to unwind
- Budget-conscious music fans who prefer value for space and amenities over central location

Food and Drink Options

Dalmahoy has you covered whether you're craving fine dining or a casual bite. The award-winning Pentland Restaurant serves elegant meals with sweeping views of the golf course. For more relaxed dining, the Brasserie Restaurant and James Braid Bar offer hearty fare and drinks. While not 24/7, the hotel provides evening dining options and room service late enough to satisfy post-show hunger. Breakfast is available after a late night—perfect for those who need a slow start.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, the James Braid Bar offers a laid-back spot for a drink before turning in. Head into Edinburgh (just 20 minutes away) for a broader mix of nightlife, including pubs, clubs, and live music venues. Afterward, Dalmahoy is the perfect retreat from the city buzz.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious rooms, lush surroundings, and top-notch leisure facilities. Many highlight the friendly staff and the relaxing atmosphere after busy days in the city. Travelers also appreciate the easy parking and quick access to main roads, making it convenient for evening events and late returns.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that because it's outside the city center, you'll need a car or taxi to get to most venues. Also, while the historic charm is appreciated, a few rooms could use minor modern updates. But if you're in it for the peace and amenities, these are easy trade-offs.

The Bottom Line

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club is ideal for concert-goers who want a quiet, classy retreat after a night of music and energy.

Great hotel on the edge...

Liked: Wonderful and very helpful service all around, clean amenities, and ample parking accommodations. The location was also very convenient to get to the airport after our stay.
Disliked: While it's not very far from Edinburgh city center, it can be a trek to get into the center of town. If you are driving plan ahead on parking or taking public transport.

As a family we had...

Liked: Facilities; swimming pool especially for the kids. Steam room and sauna for the adults. Driving range was fun and the pool room. Breakfast was lovely with lots of options and attentive staff
Disliked: Just the pool table needs a bit of TLC maybe a new baize and maybe a little makeover in the pool/games room to freshen it up but overall wasn’t a major issue.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Okay stay, the room fell...

Liked: The beds were very comfortable and I was thankful for the iron and board provided in the room. Breakfast was decent, there was a good spread and plenty of food. The pool, sauna, and gym looked very nice, though we did not have time to use them. The grounds were absolutely stunning and I loved the outside seating.
Disliked: The room was not what I was expecting for the cost of this stay. The desk had chunks missing from the padding on it, the bathroom was very outdated (which I assume is why its not featured on the site) and had loose tiles on the floor. While it wasn't overly dirty, it certainly wasn't completely clean as there was hair dust and debri throughout. There were also no robes provided for the pool and sauna area, which I think is pretty common for these places to have.

Very good

Liked: Staff as always were brilliant. Friendly and helpful throughout. Breakfast was good and the restaurant for dinner was excellent. Lovely tasty food well prepared and served. Room lovely and comfortable.
Disliked: The only issue we had was we were in a room at the back of the hotel overlooking a garden. There was a bird in there with a couple of young ones (looked like oystercatchers) that made a lot of noise from very early in the morning and actually well after it turned dark. Meant we had disturbed sleep both nights. If anyone gets a room there might be worth checking if they're still there!
