Nothing beats a weekend away, shopping and a few drinkies... The city of Edinburgh has something for everyone, from museums to nightclubs - making it a very popular destination for weekend breaks and Hen and Stag parties.
Accommodation can always be a hit or a miss. Edinburgh has lots to offer, but for groups travelling together hotels are not always the best fit.
Last weekend we decided to visit Edinburgh with a few friends and booked into Fountain Court Apartments on Grove Street, Edinburgh. The company has many sites, but Grove Street is nice and central walking distance to popular areas such as Princes Street, The Royal Mile and Grassmarket. It also offers secure parking for an additional fee.
We booked into one of Fountain Courts executive 2 bedroom apartments. The apartment was stunning, brilliant size and offered everything we needed for our break. The two double bedrooms were spacious, modern and well presented. Two bathrooms which was fantastic for four of us sharing, and a bright modern lounge/kitchen complete with washing machine, cooker and fridge.
Personally I have never stayed in a self-serviced apartment before when away, but will definitely be staying in one again, the stay was much more sociable for our group; having a living area to share rather than hotel bedrooms.
From Fountain Courts Website:
