“Adam Drysdale House strikes me as a solid choice for exploring Edinburgh, particularly given its location in a well-regarded area. The fact that rooms are recently refurbished and come with a Scottish breakfast sweetens the deal, especially with the added bonus of on-site parking, a true city perk. All things considered, it seems like a smart base for tackling both tourist attractions and business engagements.”
