We spent a gloriously long and restful weekend at Nicky's place and found it to be an ideal base from which to explore Edinburgh. It's located in a beautiful leafy and peaceful suburb of the city, an area worth a stroll in its own right. Bennet's bar was a local highlight. The summer house was cosy and had everything we needed, including some thoughful extras from Nicky. The city centre is a short bus ride or pleasant walk away through some parks.
