Our take
JA The Bruntsfield Edinburgh has the best possible location for Bruntsfield Links: the course is across the road. The Victorian building, the bar and the restaurant make it a comfortable base, and the 8.4 guest rating confirms a well-run hotel. I would treat it as a city stay with golf on the doorstep rather than a resort, since leisure facilities are limited to dining.
- Book your tee times at Bruntsfield Links well in advance, especially during peak summer months, to secure your preferred slot.
- Consider using Edinburgh's public transport to reach other courses, as the hotel's central location makes it a convenient hub.
- Explore the local cafes and eateries around Bruntsfield after your round; many offer excellent post-golf refreshments.
