Greywalls Hotel, the Edwardian country house beside the Muirfield links in East Lothian, is to close later this year for a substantial renovation that will expand its room count and introduce a new design direction across the property.
The project will increase the hotel from 23 to 32 guestrooms across the main house, cottages and the Colonel’s House, with works including reworked interiors, upgraded dining and the addition of Marine & Lawn’s signature putting green. The renovation builds on Sir Edwin Lutyens’ original 1901 architecture, with gardens designed by landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll.
Greywalls was acquired by Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts, the AJ Capital Partners brand, in July 2025, ending almost a century of ownership by the Weaver family. The group, whose Scottish portfolio includes Rusacks St Andrews, Marine North Berwick, Dornoch Station and Marine Troon, has been planning a restoration of the property since the acquisition was announced.
The hotel sits around 30 minutes from Edinburgh and has long been associated with the Muirfield course, a 16-time host of The Open Championship.
