I am helping to organise my friend's hen night in August and we are looking to stay in/near Edinburgh. We thought it might be nice to have an apartment or cottage to share (there are approx 10 of us) - does anyone know of any they could recommend, that are near enough for a taxi/bus ride into Edinburgh centre?
Thanks

Yes were were going to hopefully catch the end of the festival.
Thanks all - I have managed to find us a lovely apartment (now we get to sort the fun bits out!)

It's about 5 mins out of the centre so it's perfect for us.

If you try to get anything during the festival now you will probably end up with a B&B in Inverness .
