“This boutique hotel is an excellent base for exploring Edinburgh; its location near Stockbridge offers a village atmosphere, yet it's still within walking distance of the city centre. The hotel's commitment to fresh, local Scottish cuisine at its restaurant, Blackwoods, adds a distinct flavor. Expect individually designed rooms with character, personalized service, and perhaps a Jacuzzi suite for a more indulgent experience.”
