Just back from a family vacation in Edinburgh over Xmas. I agree with the others. Very nice place. Great staff great apts. good location. The little town nearby had some great spots to eat and drink. The 'liquid deli' "Demijohn" is not to be missed..great spot to pick up oils vinegars etc..Raspberry Vodka is the best. The Trip Advisor
