Globetrotter Inn Edinburgh |
46 Marine Drive City of Edinburgh EH4 5EP United Kingdom +44 131 336 1030 http://www.globetrotterinns.com/ |
This inn is located on the scenic south side of the Firth of Forth. Neat and effortless interiors with a balmy feel relax you completely. In recent times, almost all backpackers have been on the Globetrotter's trail once they land in Edinburgh. Internet access is available, and so is a good bar to down that old ale in the evenings. Bunk and berth rooms are on offer, starting at £15 per person per night in a bunk room for 6 to 8 guests. Very affordable, eh! And yes, you are greeted with a free drink when you check in!

This enchanting manor house was built in 1625 and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries. Thanks to a recent refurbishment, it is more comfortable than ever.

Secluded fairy-tale site |
Craigend Park Edinburgh EH16 5XX United Kingdom +44 131 664 9694 |
Kingston House occupies a fairy-tale site with turrets and clusters of attic windows, secreted in self-contained gardens near the Liberton golf course. It's some way into town (about three miles to Princes Street) but worth it perhaps, for the uniqueness of the building alone. The interior of this Category A listed Victorian mansion has retained much of its period grandeur. There is an imposing staircase and a handsome varnished wood reception area. Each room has an individual charm and excellent facilities. Review © 2007, Wcities |
