There's a really tasteful style about The Wee Thistle- you can tell that even small details have been carefully thought out, and the hosting gives off much the same vibe. From the detailed directions given, to generous extra touches like a welcoming bottle of wine and shortbread, and proper coffee, to the much needed practicalities like the good quality shampoo or the two umbrellas there to use- we were so impressed with the whole experience.
The place is cosy, perfect for a getaway. It seemed that the whole of Edinburgh was on our doorstep, with a huge choice of bars, restaurants and cafes just a minute's walk away.
And when the torrential rain got too much, the smart TV meant that we could relax as if we were in our own home and spend a rainy afternoon with Netflix...
Also, probably the most luxurious duvet and pillows I've ever slept in. Amazing.
We would recommend The Wee Thistle to anyone wanting a comfortable, stylish base in a fantastic city.
