Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club – Edinburgh, Scotland

Intro

Looking for a training base where Scottish heritage meets serious sports infrastructure? Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club turns 1,000 acres of rolling parkland just 7 miles from Edinburgh city centre into your personal performance playground.

Feel the vibe on arrival

Step through the baronial-manor doorway, inhale the scent of fresh-cut fairways and glimpse tri-colour kits in the lobby. Out on the terrace golfers line up drives while runners loosen up beneath centuries-old cedar trees; inside, teams swap playbooks over flat whites before heading pool-side. It’s a buzz that says “game on” from dawn till dusk.

215 refurbished rooms & suites – Classic to signature Turret & Morton Suites – all with Smart-TV, Wi-Fi and space for kit bags.

Twin rooms clustered on one floor plus inter-connecting options that convert to physio or analysis rooms.

Air-con, blackout drapes and estate or golf-course views for quality recovery sleep.
