What a find! I didn't want my husband to have to drive in the city, so i looked for a place in the suburbs and hoped it would still have some character. I found just such a place! Carolyn's property is in a residential suburb but it backs up to a lovely nature reserve, making for a quiet, peaceful, scenic retreat right in Edinburgh. We even saw foxes scampering across the hillside! Public transportation is excellent and convenient. The bus stop is a five minute walk and the bus takes you right to the castle. The room is comfortable and attractively presented. I couldn't be happier with the choice we made.
