Annette is a delightful, cheery, totally perfect host! She had everything we needed and more! We were warmly welcomed and given a short/concise chat on all the best things to see and do. The room was beautifully turned out and spotlessly clean. Having complete sets of bath linens was such a treat. So many places only provide one towel each. Annette had bath/hand/wash for each of us! The subfloor heating in the bath suite was another delight!
After freshening up we set out exploring. One of the wonderful perks to Annette's place is the location. The wharf is lovely at night and the view across the firth is spectacular! We used the transit system for our stay - both city and tour bus stops are within steps from the front door. We initially were concerned about being so close to a major road. We shouldn't have been, the room is unbelievable quiet! It was the best sleep we had the entire week we were in the UK! Taking Annette's advice, we did a "hop on, hop off" tour of Edinburgh. It was a nice way to see the city, to decide where to start and also to catch a break when we needed to rest our feet!
Other location features include the wonderful bakeries/cafes close by. The suite comes with everything you would need for breakfast ~ tea, porridge, fruit, and snacks. Which we partook of and enjoyed. The Walkers Shortbread was a huge hit after a day of walking. While we enjoy tea, my mornings require coffee. Each morning my husband would zip out and return with a lovely baked good and coffee! Our one regret is that our Pier Place stay was near the end of our trip and we only had two nights to enjoy it! Thank you again Annette, it was a lovely way to close our our visit to your beautiful country!
