The Hotel

Formerly a private house, the four-star B+B Edinburgh has been treated to a head-to-toe refurbishment and now offers boutique accommodation just a stroll away from Edinburgh Castle. Its historically-listed facade houses an inspiring blend of Victorian features including an old-world staircase, with an accent of modern fittings.

Guests can take in views of Scotland’s capital from their en suite rooms. Each one comes complete with multi-channel TVs, reading lights, and work and sitting areas.

The library’s fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookcases set the background for the indulgent afternoon tea. Prepared daily, the treats include fresh scones, homemade cupcakes and finger sandwiches, while the little ones can enjoy a special spread featuring juice or hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Groupon’s Guide To Edinburgh

Located in Lothian, on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, the capital city of Scotland (UK) allures with historic sites, cultural landmarks and a wide variety of shopping centres and traditional markets.

History enthusiasts may visit the famous Edinburgh Castle, a 12th-century historic fortress built on Castle Rock, a volcanic plug in the middle of the city. Also, culture seekers may visit the Old Town and the New Town, both listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, boasting Georgian-style buildings and traditional markets. After exploring renowned museums and galleries, holidaymakers may savour traditional dishes such as haggis and Scottish shortbread, available at numerous restaurants and bars. Artistic types may head to one of the city’s music and theatre venues which keep guests entertained with folk acts, jazz concerts and plays. Edinburgh has a moderate climate with summer temperatures of about 20°C. Winter brings windy and frosty days with little sunshine. The transition seasons, spring and autumn, tend to be rather cool.
