Well Court Hall is magic. We have never, ever stayed in a place like this. We were literally IN one of the most photographed views in Edinburgh (and I’m sure we’re waving in the background of a few tourists’ photos!). Words fail to describe the interior—each of our kids had their own room and we had the glass-encased master suite with a clock tower bathroom that has to be seen to be believed. We walked along the Water of Leith in both directions from Well Court Hall as much as possible, and again, it was magical. And then, after a few hours exploring the historic sites in the center of town or shopping, we were able to retire to our amazing great room with unfathomably high ceilings and a mix of original woodwork and glass and modern touches. I spent a lot of time in one living room vestibule in an easy chair, a cider in one hand and my kindle in the other, with one or two windows open above my head to catch the sound of the water. You have to stay here.
