When you stay at Greywalls Hotel in East Lothian, Scotland, you are ideally situated to enjoy a spot of golf at one of the world's most famous courses - as the building is located right on the edge of it. Muirfield is an 18-hole championship golf course and when you practice your swing here, you will be treading the same greens that have been frequented by some of the biggest stars of the sport. While the course has altered little since the 1930s, changes are afoot, as the services of golf architect Martin Hawtree have been commissioned to ensure Muirfield is ready for the Open Championship in 2013 and that it retains its position as one of the favourite courses of championship sportsmen and women around the world. With a par ranging from five to three, once you have played at this stunning course, it will be a long time before you want to tee off elsewhere. However, if variety is the spice of your life then you will enjoy having ample opportunity to tread a selection of fairways while staying at Greywalls, as the hotel is within five miles of ten more courses. Just like the sport it is at the heart of, Greywalls is the epitome of luxury, elegance and history. This Scottish golf hotel was first designed as an opulent and charming guest house during the Edwardian era and it has retained many of its period features, with each room decked out with antique furniture and with its own unique decorative scheme. Named Hotel of Beauty in the 2010 Scottish Hotel Awards, Greywalls also has many practical facilities, including a grass tennis court, croquet lawn and a putting green, where you can practice before heading to Muirfield. And after a day of teeing off, what better way is there to spend the evening than by drinking a glass of wine or champagne in a dining room that overlooks the tenth tee of Muirfield - which may earlier have been a site of your own personal victory? The exquisite food served at the hotel takes its inspiration from classical French cuisine but makes use of plenty of local produce. After rounding off your evening with a glass of real Scotch, you may find yourself planning a return to Greywalls sooner than you think. Luxury Scotland is a leader in providing high quality accommodation and the perfect choice if you are looking for a Scottish golf hotel. If you want to spend a day or a week teeing off at the famous Muirfield, then Greywalls hotel is the perfect choice for you.
