Edinburgh the capital city of scotland is also known as the Festival City.

Edinburgh is a city full of character, Spread round it's heart the “Castle” built on an extinct volcano's at the top and Holyrood Palace and Holyrood Park and Arthur Seat at the bottom. The veins of the old town houses, Law courts, Civic Building. Banks and churches spreading down and around the Royal Mile which links the two together, rich in history. The Old Town, its seen plagues and fire but lives on today , as the" Festival City."

“Look no further, THIS IS THE BEST” Come Ben the Hoose was everything we were looking for. It was close to the city serviced by a great bus service which meant no parking problems in the city. Ann and Gordon were excellent hosts. The property was very well equipped had everything you could possible want in the way of utensils etc. We were also able to make use of the garden when the sun shone. On arrival we found a welcome pack left by the owners which had everything we needed from bread and butter to fresh fruit not forgetting the cool beer in the fridge. For our first cuppa Ann had even provided some of her home baking, where else would you get this personal service? The cost of our hire was really good value for money and I think it would be dificult to find its equal. We will certainly go back to "Come Ben the Hoose" and I would urge you to snap up this property if you want home from home comforts at a very affordable price. I would recommend this holiday rental where you will find a very clean and comfortable property and a new friend in your host. Grab it quick!
