Our first trip to Scotland was during the winter months of Christmas. We arrived at the cosy hideaway on the busy main Princes Street in the city of Edinburgh. It was only 5 minutes walk from where the coaches from the airport dropped us off. The door was easily missed if you're looking for a traditional entrance, but it was tucked away between two businesses and took us up a vacant stairway on to the first floor. What a delight once we opened the door. It was like Narnia behind a wardrobe. Greeted by a lovely framed message that welcomed us to the residence. Everything was so neatly tucked away. I was blown away by the decor which felt so mystical and Retro just about everything had an influence of stags and suited woodland animals. Ooo we spent ages taking pics of ourselves everywhere lol. Fit for a Prince and his Princess! We were immediately intrigued by the prospects of our first christmas away together as newly weds.
The view from our living room window wasn’t much to but beautiful architecture of a bridge. I’ve always wanted to experience a fireplace at christmas far away from home, and whilst there wasn’t the old school fireplace, there was definitely a technology meets old fashioned fireplace installed with visuals of burning wood or even a lava lamp if you preferred. The home was decked with beautiful furniture and even games to play indoors. Sometimes I didn’t think anything outside could attract me more than soaking up the space I was residing in for the weekend.
Once we got the fireplace on it became nice and toasty. As I found even with the double glazing and very new radiators the home could be a little cold still. Saying that though, we hail from warm countries so normal cold is very cold for us lol.
If I were to recommend anything at all, it would be tiny little observations like a throw blanket to snuggle up to in the sitting room would be a nice touch. Possibly make the netflix account available with a guest account and add a power shower.
Otherwise Splendid Splendid Splendid. We will be back during Festival months and will definitely plan to stay here again! Top marks on all fronts.
