A special stay in a special unique hotel.
Pros:

Lovely continental breakfast, lots of danish choices and different bread for toast. Location excellent for restaurants for evening meals but book if near a weekend as very busy. Cabin was stunning, with little touches to make it special, like the folding of the toilet roll 😁.

Cons:

All good.

Pros:

Being outside the hustle and bustle while a quick bus away from Old Town, was awesome. The team are so kind, friendly and willing to help. Having parking outside was great and you can bypass the city as needed. The room was clean, unique and such a comfy bed. I appreciated the variety of teas, coffee and the treats to enjoy. Would definitely recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

Amazing find
Pros:

Beautiful rooms, attentive staff. Cocktails created to tell the story of the ship. Honestly it's a great find and ten minutes by tram and your in Edinburgh given that price wise this is cheaper than some basic hotels it's a no brainer to pick this.

Cons:

Nothing. We were only there for one night but definitely will be back.
