Edinburgh Accommodation, The Gathering 2009

Perfectly tailored holidays featuring Scotland's castles, culture and clan lands

thistle We are delighted to offer a wide range of accommodation in Edinburgh for those who are also taking holidays with us in Scotland before or after the event. Edinburgh, and in particular the area round Holyrood Palace, will be buzzing during that weekend in July. Some of you will want to be as close to the action for as long as possible; others will want to dip in and out during the weekend, others still may prefer to be out in the countryside except for Saturday afternoon and evening. Whatever you have in mind, we can (almost certainly) arrange it.

 

SHERATON GRAND HOTEL AND SPA WITH GOLD PASSPORTS

The Sheraton hotel looks right across to Edinburgh Castle. Veer a little left and there is Princes Street (below) with its lovely gardens on one side and the capital’s principal shops on the other. Veer a little right and there is the superb Usher Hall, Edinburgh’s Concert Hall; beyond it sits Edinburgh castle on its rock. The luxury here is all that you would expect from the Sheraton, there is a superb gym with excellent folk to help you use the highly technical equipment, also ONE Spa, Europe’s most advanced city spa, offering massage, a thermal suite, and Cleopatra baths. More at their website.


Our price for a double room, 24 – 27 July with bed and breakfast and two Gold Passports is just GBP 898 per couple.
We ask for a deposit of 50%, hence GBP 449.

THE HILTON GROSVENOR HOTEL WITH SILVER PASSPORTS

The Hilton Grosvenor has seen a significant amount of Hilton shareholders’ money sunk into its facilities in recent years. The hotel takes up almost the whole of one side of a fine Victorian street in the west end of Edinburgh. It is a happy combination of the traditional and the modern with a fine restaurant and all the facilities you would expect. It is however quite a long walk to Holyrood and so taxis, or the nearby Haymarket train station will be needed.

Our price for a double room, 24 – 27 July with bed and breakfast and two Silver Passports is just GBP 810 per couple.
We ask for a deposit of 50%, hence GBP 405.

 

dalhousie

 

Here is a chance to treat yourselves! Add a night at the luxurious (but largely 15th century) Dalhousie Castle before you come to Edinburgh. The taxi to the Hilton is included in the price.

Our price for a double room at Dalhousie Castle on 23 July and three nights at the Hilton Grosvenor, 24 – 27 July with bed and breakfast in both places and two Silver Passports is just GBP 1140 per couple. We ask for a deposit of 50%, hence GBP 570.

EXCLUSIVE USE CASTLES AND COUNTRY HOUSES

If you are coming as a group, perhaps drawn from places scattered far afield, you may like the idea of taking a country house or castle for the weekend. You will probably sleep in a four poster bed and you will certainly dine together each evening in a historic building that it is exclusively yours. All of our properties are within 45 minutes drive of central Edinburgh. The size of available properties varies from eight to eighteen people.
If one of these properties may be of interest to you, we would appreciate an early expression of interest so that we can manage the available accommodation to the best advantage of all.
The cost per double room per night for dinner, bed and breakfast varies from GBP 220 to GBP 500.
