“This property strikes me as a particularly good choice for families, not least because children's meals are complimentary. I appreciate that it's close to the airport and the Edinburgh Zoo, and I think that their ability to host private events is a real bonus. The outdoor dining spaces and cocktail selections give it a distinctive touch, setting it apart from more conventional hotels.”
