Edinburgh: Two Nights For Two With Breakfast, Wine, and Chocolates for £89 at Carberry Tower (Up to 74% Off)

Rooted amid the manicured greenery of a parkland estate, Carberry Tower provides travellers with a lofty refuge on the fringes of Edinburgh’s scattered city limits. The Caledonian capital is draped across valleys and hills, belying a wealth of secrets between its motley assembly of tenements, backstreets, and cobbled avenues. Originally the basin of the drained Nor Loch, the lush parade of Princes Street Gardens splits the city’s heart into the New and Old Towns, affording Edinburgh a twofold appeal. New Town is a splendid network of townhouses and high end boutiques, while Old Town plunges visitors into a scramble of markets, bookshops, and lively alehouse sing-songs.

Groupon Recommends
A brief jaunt beyond the hotel door will take visitors to the town of Musselburgh where history-lovers can take stroll over an original Roman bridge. Venturing into the city, wide-eyed travellers can treat their senses at the Victorian camera obscura, where travelable views of the city have astonished folk for over a century.

Staff were excellent even to the extent of helping us book theatre tickets fine concierge services. The new bar area had just opened on the ground floor which has a cosy atmosphere with just the right level of sophistication. Our rooms were comfortable and distinctive
