The staff are so sweet, helpful and very welcoming from the moment you arrive (especially the cute girl when we checked in, who reminded me of Dakota J!) and best of all, the all-round feel is ultimately casual! The rooms are awesome - actually, a spacious fully furnished apartment with a supercomfy bed upstairs and all the perks and necessities : 2 TV's, a record player, a wicked sound box, a guitar (!) safety deposit box, full-sized refrigerator, hob, oven and a magnificent minibar plus the famous beer fridge in the bathroom! Everywhere is kept fantastically clean including the bar and dining area. Breakfast options are wonderful and graciously filling - at times we would have actually preferred lighter options but hey, we were in holiday mode! We dined a couple of times as well, having enjoyed great burgers and chicken wings, both which we highly recommend. Ah yes... and the beer... extensive selection, spoilt for choice... infact, I write this review whilst enjoying a Punk IPA which I just bought from our local supermarket 😁

St. Giles' Cathedral

During the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, the fiery sermons of John Knox echoed around this imposing Gothic church. As such, it’s viewed as the cradle of Presbyterianism in Scotland. However, you don’t need to be religious to feel moved by the stained-glass Scottish Saints window or the intricate heraldic carvings of the Thistle Chapel ceiling.

    Amazing history.

    Amazing history. I'm just sad at the state of the church in the UK. Most cathedrals are now museums or shops. I mean, the father of the Presbyterian Church, John Knox, is buried in it's parking lot! Beautiful building however.
