A home away from home. This beautifully restored building is quite unique and we couldn't have hoped for a more welcoming host. We got a taxi from the station, which took about five minutes. Sarah was waiting to greet us outside the property and show us around. Neither of us had been to Scotland before but Sarah was very happy to share suggestions for activities and places to visit. The property itself is breathtaking. Characterful, cosy, well maintained, romantic, charming. If you love stone features or historic buildings, you'll be right at home here. We stayed in for the first day to make the most of it and chill after travelling. The next two days, we explored the city. You're a pleasant fifteen-minute walk from the centre through parkland beneath striking views of Arthur's Seat. Once in the city, we climbed the mountain, offering incredible views of the surrounding landscape. Take water and a picnic for the summit! Over the course of our stay we ate lunch at both the smallest and the oldest pubs in Edinburgh, drank a staggering amount in a beer cellar, hit up a few clubs, spent a long afternoon beneath dinosaurs at the National Museum of Scotland (that whale bone though!) and took a trip up the world's largest monument dedicated to a writer. We drank Cafe Bon Bons in quaint coffee shops, found (and bought) some illustrations in an old bookshop, and even squeezed in a cheeky Chinese for dinner one night. We've had an incredible time and will one-hundred percent look to stay here again in the near future. Cheers, Sarah!
