Steeped in history – with the mediaeval architecture to prove it – Edinburgh is a hub of culture, old meets new, and this Georgian townhouse in New Town puts you within easy walking distance of experiencing it all. Explore the neighbourhood right on your doorstep by shopping the famous Princess Street, around a twelve-minute walk away. Visit art galleries, sit down for drinks at atmospheric cocktail bars, take photos, and then head to Old Town to compare notes. Once there, wander between century-old buildings as you traverse the network of narrow alleyways with the Edinburgh Castle looming over you. Once you’ve visited the giant crown jewel of Scotland, don’t forget to do The Royal Mile where you can stop off for a bite to eat at one of the pubs. Head home with the souvenirs you bought, and settle in on the plush sofa for a movie – don’t forget the popcorn. Afterwards, you might light the fireplace and work on a puzzle together as you sip cocoa. Maybe you’ll head back out after a dinner prepared on the beautiful Aga cooker and experience more of the New Town nightlife. Whatever you choose, a luxurious bubble bath and comfortable bed is waiting for you at the end of the day.
