HOGMANAY ACCOMMODATION PACKAGES from £135.00pp

Even though Edinburgh’s great festivals are still running, and will be for a fortnight, our thoughts turn to the other great event in the Edinburgh diary – HOGMANAY (New Years Eve to those new to these shores) – and so should yours.  We are offering you 5 nights accommodation and a ticket to the world famous and much sort after Street Party.  These packages are a steal from only £135.00 per person.  Call us on 0131 5573984 for more details or to book.  Get in early to avoid disappointment as these packages won’t last long.

FESTIVAL FINALE FIREWORKS

The Bank of Scotland Fireworks Concert is the grand finale to the Edinburgh International Festival and a fitting climax to three weeks of cultural hedonism that is “The Edinburgh Festival”.

Join the Scottish Chamber Orchestra for a rousing night of some famous film music. The technical and artistic wizards of Pyrovision once again choreograph a stunning display to match the orchestra’s exuberant music-making.

As well as in ticketed areas in Princes Street Gardens the Fireworks are visible from various vantage points across the city. You can listen to the concert live on ForthFM and get the full “fireworks” experience wherever you are in the city!

INTERNATIONAL RUGBY

This year Scotland play host to the Springboks and the mighty All Blacks at Murrayfield.  You haven’t felt atmosphere until you’ve heard Flower of Scotland sung by 60,000 patriotic Scots – book early to ensure you do.

BEYOND THE FESTIVALS

Believe it or not there is much to see and do in Edinburgh after the madness of the festivals.  Quieter streets for one and whilst the weather is still quite good North Berwick, with it’s hills, castles and bird colonies, is a great place to visit.

THE FESTIVAL IS UPON US

We have a very small number of beds available for a few days in August that aren’t on line, give us a call on 0131 5573984 for more details.

PRE-AUGUST BED SALES

We have beds available for this Monday 26, Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 July for a rock bottom price of £12.00 per night.  Come and enjoy Edinburgh before the festival madness starts – this time of the year is our favourite time in Edinburgh.  Book here via this website.
