Lorraine Kelly sips on cocktails in a fluffy robe as she enjoys family  weekend away at luxury five-star H๏τel in Edinburgh

Lorraine Kelly sipped on cocktails in a fluffy robe as she enjoyed time away at a luxury five-star H๏τel in Edinburgh over the weekend.

The presenter, 65, headed to the Scottish capital for some family time with her husband Steve, daughter Rosie, 30, and granddaughter Billie, eight months.

And she seemed to be on cloud nine as she was double parked in her H๏τel room with a negroni in one hand and a martini in the other. 

Lorraine shared a snap treating herself to some ‘cheeky cocktails’ in her room at Prestonfield House.

She penned in her caption: ‘We stayed in our room A LOT to chill at the weekend but managed to have a cheeky cocktail! Best negroni ever @prestonfieldhouseedinburgh’

The ITV star also posted a sweet picture cuddling baby Billie as they headed out together into the city.

Reflecting on the family weekend, she wrote: ‘The best time with @rosiekellysmith and baby Billie at the weekend. 

‘She spent time with her great granny and grandpa and we explored Edinburgh from the perfect base – the weather was gorgeous and Billie slept like a wee top thanks to the fresh air and long walks.’

She then went on to praise a member of staff at the luxury H๏τel, who packaged a hamper for Lorraine’s mum, as she wasn’t ‘well enough’ to come to afternoon tea.

Posting a picture with staff member Jennie, the TV presenter gushed: ‘THIS is Jennie who works at the H๏τel where we were lucky enough to be staying this weekend.

‘When Jennie heard my mum wasn’t well enough to come through for afternoon tea – she sorted a hamper with scrumptious sandwiches, scones and cakes for us to take to her! 

‘She even packed a special silver tea pot. Mum felt very special and it was so kind and thoughtful. This is a very special place with the best people taking care of their customers – and they have heiland coos!!!’

Taking to her Instagram stories, she added: ‘Hi, it’s a beautiful, beautiful Sunday morning in Edinburgh. I’m at the Prestonsfields House H๏τel. It’s absolutely beautiful. 

‘We’ve had a lovely stay, it’s just been fantastic. Billie and I are going to go for a walk to see the highland cows. They’ve got three – and Colin the peacock. I feel so relaxed, it’s been a great time. It’s very good to be home.’

It comes after Lorraine revealed that her granddaughter is the best medicine for her as her mother recovers from ill health.

Lorraine has been helping to care from her mother Anne, 84, who suffers from kidney condition nephrotic syndrome.

The presenter has cut her hours to spend more time with her, and the Glasgow-born star revealed spending time with her granddaughter makes everything better.

She told The Sun: ‘Billie has been the most wonderful thing for my mum, honestly, when she stays with us and she holds Billie, she looks ten years younger.

‘Obviously my mum takes all her medicines for her kidney condition, but Billie is the best possible medicine ever. God, if you could bottle that.’

Lorraine became a grandmother last August when her daughter Rosie welcomed Billie.

The broadcaster said: ‘Don’t get me wrong, I think I’ve got one of the best jobs in the world.

‘But at the end of the day, the most important thing in life is friends and family and spending time with them.

‘Sometimes it takes a wee baby coming into the world to make you realise that. When I come into the room, the best thing in the world is Billie smiling and laughing at me.

‘And I’m just so lucky that Rosie and I are close and we have actually become even closer since Billie was born.’

The television presenter has cut the amount of time she appears on screen – and said that while it was a tough decision she had to put her family first.

Lorraine said: ‘Seeing my mum, Rosie and Billie together was just lovely. And the best tonic in the world is cuddling that baby.

‘My mum lives just outside of Glasgow in East Kilbride. So I get up there as often as I can.

‘Obviously now with having Friday off, it’s made a mᴀssive difference. It means I can go up on Thursday and have the weekend. Or I can just go up and check on her on Friday and come back down.’

Her mother, who celebrates her 85th birthday in September, is improving so much she managed to fly back from London to Scotland on her last visit.

Lorraine said: ‘It was a big deal. We drove up and collected her and brought her down. Then she said: ‘No, I really want to fly back this time and try to do it on my own.’

‘And you know what? She did. At the airport they were amazing. A wee wheelchair picked her up at the checkout when we checked her bag in. And then somebody stayed with her until she boarded.

‘She’s talking about flying out to visit her sister in Germany now.’
