“The Fringe at its best. Extraordinary professionals doing a G&S spof amateur production "...and Helen"”

“Very quick to get to Edinburgh City centre (19 minutes drive). Nice hotel and good pub, friendly.”

“I must say, my personal experience was altogether rather splendid. I was there to sort out an international passport, and I dare say I was rather fortunate with the weather - waiting outside the entrance proved perfectly agreeable, unlike the unfortunate experiences some others have mentioned. Regarding any perceived unresponsiveness or bureaucratic tendencies - I do feel compelled to point out, dear friends, that this isn't really down to the staff themselves, is it? The processes are governed at ministerial level through all diplomatic missions, and one can hardly hold the local team accountable for that sort of thing. I would most respectfully suggest showing a bit of human understanding for what must be quite an exhausting workload. A touch of politeness (without going overboard into grovelling territory, naturally), staying on topic, and perhaps avoiding any heated political discussions - well, that's just good form, isn't it? Your standard British etiquette should see you through splendidly. Do remember to confirm your appointment (twice or even thrice through the Diiya portal). One wouldn't want to arrive only to discover one's slot has vanished into the digital ether - the staff have no control over this, I'm afraid. Oh, and bear in mind: registering with the consulate in Scotland whilst residing in England is simply not on (and vice versa). All in all, armed with a bit of patience and good manners, you'll find the process perfectly manageable. The staff are doing their very best under challenging circumstances, and a kind word goes a long way.”

“This has to be the most loviest hotel I’ve stayed at. It felt like home and I have a heavy heart leaving here tomorrow, I don’t want to go. The staff are absolutely amazing the food 10 out of 10 the chips are to die for! The bed… best sleep ever altho I was here for work it felt like I was on holiday and nothing was to much for the staff very kind helpful and chatty. Like I say I do not want to go but all good things have to come to an end. But bank on it I will be back FACT … left a mark on my heart ❤️”

“Excellent and reliable service with exceptional attention to detail - I would recommend Holly Blue for all your beauty needs!”

“I really enjoy the Street Fusion adult dance classes, run by Leah. She always comes up with fun routines to catchy music. Leah’s teaching style is very inclusive, as there is no pressure to get the routine exactly right. We just have fun and I always feel great after the class. The dance studio is nice too - spacious and light. All around good energy and vibes!”

“Our son has never been happier at Newington Nursery! The teachers are caring and experienced, each with their own expertise. My son loves that he is able to freely play outside and we love that numeracy, literacy and music are weaved into his play so he is learning while playing! We highly recommend this nursery.”

“The trainers, Federicko and Noono, are wonderfully encouraging. They make the classes fun and easy to follow. They make dancing fun and their passion for dancing is contagious. I've been going for a year and look forward to my Tuesday night dance-date night.”

“We had our tv put onto the wall and our phone line moved, the service we received was fantastic. A couple of things went wrong the next day but Christian was very responsive and quick to come and repair. Would definitely recommend.”

“Staff super friendly and very competent. Always enjoy interacting with them.”

“This place is simply amazing. I can't recommend it more highly. It has EVERYTHING you would want including generous welcome pack.”

“Great local bar! Pool table, live music, great jukebox and amazing bar staff! Jenna's a great bar manager & Kerri and the rest of the bar staff give a great service and you couldn't ask for a better atmosphere. Would recommend to everyone, any age.”

“I go there all the time all the staff are absolutely brilliant and really helpful the machines are practically always working it only once in a blue moon that they are out of order over all 10/10 for everything keep up the good work”

“Jill and her team provided a great stay, their service is exceptional and the hotel has real character. Breakfast was superb; nothing was too much trouble. We will be back next year.”
