Brothaigh House, Edinburgh

Advantages: Not far from Edinburgh Centre, very clean.
Disadvantages: Rooms a bit small

...The Strathallan Guest House in Mintoe Street, Edinburgh, is a very friendly and comfortable stay. It is a family run establishment in a large double fronted house, ten minutes walk from central Edinburgh. Although the rooms have had en-suites built into them, reducing the room size, they are still very clean and comfortable. The owner is very accomodating and breakfast is as much or as little fried food as you can manage as well as fruits and cereals. All in all a lovely guest house, which I would recommend to anyone. I will definitely be returning there.... Read review

Bearing in mind that Edinburgh’s attractions are priced in line with those in London, the “Royal Edinburgh Ticket” looks a particularly good deal. This allows you unlimited travel on the busses for two days – as well as free admission to The Royal Yacht Britannia, Holyrood House and Edinburgh Castle. Prices for that are: £34.00 Adults, Senior & Students £27.00, child (5 to 15) £13.00. WHAT IS THERE TO SEE AND DO ON A DAY OUT IN EDINBURGH? Notice there that RICHADA carefully side-steps the issue of nightlife, of which I am sure there is plenty! However I am not going write about something of which we have no experience, so, this section will be looking... Read review

Okay, so I couldn’t think of another ‘K’! (Someone will, no doubt, offer a much better alternative!)
