Mary's Place Guest House (Vegetarian and Non-Smoking) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We think the combination of a
non-smoking and vegetarian meals guest house will appeal to some who are
choking in smoke and weary of waking to sausage. 3 stars - Scottish

Another vegetarian menu and vegan too
(no eggs, no dairy products). This guest house in central Edinburgh
offers seven charming rooms at reasonable prices. If you like tofu, this
may be the place. Check
out their rooms here. |

In the West end, 1½ miles from the
Town Centre, this cheery individually decorated and non-smoking Victorian
has lots of extras (and luxury rooms have their own Jacuzzi plus a
full Scottish breakfast served in an elegant dining room. We were
impressed by the statement: following notice: "Family rooms
are available and children are made most welcome." Reasonable
prices. |

The Balmoral Hotel 5 Star Hotel |
|
|
|
|

This hotel doesn't need to be
modest or inexpensive. It's well
situated near shopping and many of the town's tourist haunts. Rooms
decorated with style, several
in-house restaurants, and even the town's biggest
pool (a claim to fame that's not bound to last). Fetching meeting
and smaller
banquet rooms. |

Yes another multiple facility five star
hotel with great views and stylish
rooms. While many of us don't stay in 5 Star hotels very often, if at
all, we are sure those who stay at the "Caley" will
certainly make the most of the hotel's "leisure"
rooms. Note that there are special
promotions at certain times of the year that make the stay quite
affordable. |

This award winning hotel has a site to
match its magnificence. It's worth downloading and installing the Flash
plug in just see the excellent presentation (there's also a non-flash
version of the site). The Restaurant's motto is "Simple things done
brilliantly." Prices are not exorbitant. Menu is tasteful, and as is
the wine list. This one certainly should catch the discerning eye. |

through in New Jersey). |
