Who doesn’t love a city break? Edinburgh is steeped in history and worn flat cobbled streets. With a plethora of bars and eateries it was the perfect location for us!

 

The Scotman Hotel was the perfect host and proved to be an ideal base for a weekend’s worth of lazy exploration. The building, which originally served as the offices for the National Newspaper of the same name, now presents itself as a decedent 5 star bolthole in central Edinburgh. Be sure to try their underground spa and health club 👌🏻

Our corner suite on the top floor offered commanding views to impressive Edinburgh castle and beyond. Given the hotels central location, we were within 10 minutes walk of all the usual tourist attractions. The hotels brasserie, The North Bridge, serves delicious quality food from early morning to late evening. We of course endulged in local delicacies too such as Haggis and sampled a few glasses of small batch Edinburgh gin. 

Warm sour dough rolls with pistachio butter served just before dinner in the impressive North Bridge Brasserie.
