Dh and I are planning our first weekend away - ideas please

[sweetheart]

Hi there.

Dh and I are planning a weekend getaway without the children later this year and I'm looking for recommendations for things to keep us amused.

We need a nice place to stay, hopefully quite central but not too expensive!

I'd also like some recommendations of good restaurants in central Edinburgh and some good activities (daytime and evening).

Not asking too much am I??????

hi sweetheart

some people have added to your other (original) thread on the main board for restaurants and things to do
have a look!

what kind of accomodation are you looking for? hotel
B&B
self catering

?

there is a really good exhibition in the city art gallery on scottish art.

Hi nailpolish,

We'd like a hotel really. One thats nice but not too expecsive - I'm probably thinking 3/4 star.

We're not really into art. I was thinking more along the lines of shows - musical, comedy?!?!?!

Some kind of nightlife - not really clubbing as it will just be the two of us but certainly somehwere with a bit of a buzz.

hi sweetheart

there are lots of theatres

playhouse

did you say sept? i think Cats is on then

festival theatres

usher hall

there are some great cinemas too

dominion has leather seats and couches, its like a step back in time - worth a visit just for that alone!

there is also the cameo which is small and intimate too

there ar thousands of hotels in edinburgh im not sure where to start...will get back to you on that one

i recommend you try this restaurant btw
