You are made to feel welcome and special. The wine carousel is a sight to behold. You could spend far too much time sampling the wine and forget the food. But don't because the food is great too and not too expensive for the quality. We would happily go again, and again........

You are never far away from some of Edinburgh’s most gruesome history and right on the doorstep is Edinburgh’s Grassmarket which was the city’s main horse and cattle market.
It was also the site for public hangings and executions and some of the traditional pubs – The Last Drop for example - take their name from the area’s murky past.

This expansive park is 10 minutes walk from The Secret Apartment. During the spring you can stroll through the cherry blossom lined avenues. In summer it transforms into a lively venue for game, shows, circuses and events. A great place to have a BBQ and watch the world go by.
