PLACES TO SEE

When in Edinburgh there are many touristy things to do such as the the amazing Edinburgh Castle, the famous Royal Mile area and Edinburgh Zoo is a great attraction with the introduction of the panda’s. The Grassmarket area and all the art galleries as well the Scottish Parliament are also of particular interest. To be honest there are so much to do that we couldn’t possibly list it all here. In our little area of Newhaven which is only 1.9 miles from the city centre is just lovely. Here is list of things to do here without going into the city.

We have 2 lighthouses in our development which are worth a visit.

The ocean Terminal Shopping centre is a lovely mall with the usual suspects such as French Connection, Superdry and Gap as well as some chain restaurants such as Wagamama and Frankie and Bennies.

The Royal Yacht Britania is the Queens Ship which is permanently docked in our waters. It’s a great way to spend a few hours and a must see when staying with us.

The Shore is only moments away and boasts many great cafes, restaurants and bars. For the fine diners there is the michleen starred restaurant known as The Kitchin run and operated by the famous Tom and Michaela Kitchin.

There is also the Granary with life music on a Saturday night and live jazz on a Sunday afternoon. Ship on the shore is also another great seafood restaurant which has a seafood platter to die for.

RUBBISH DISPOSAL

To remove rubbish / garbage from your apartment you can simply put them in the large bins in the basement. To access the basement go to -1 in the elevator, make sure you take your key and fob with you so you can get back inside the building.

15

HEATING

You will either have gas heating or electric heating.

If gas, you can control the temperature of the apartment from the wall mounted thermostat in the lounge. Turn it clockwise until you hear it clicking and this will turn the boiler on. Set it at the temperature you require. We recommend between 13-17 for the ideal room temperature. Please try and think of the environment when leaving the apartment simply turn it down.

If you have an electric heater, turn the dial on top of the heater to the sun symbol. This means it is on. Once the room reaches the perfect temperature it automatically turns itself off.

SOFA BED DUVET

Some apartments have a sofa bed. This is useful if you have a guest to stay or wish to split up children instead of using the double bed. Please note these is a £15 per night charge for the sofa bed. In the master bedroom wardrobe you will find a bed sheet, duvet and pillow. To open the bed simply remove the two large cushions and pull out the foldable bed inside.

24

TAXI

We recommend Port Leith Cabs, they are a small family run firm and they are very trustworthy. The only thing is they can be a little slow so please book well in advance. Their number is 0131 555 4030. Ask them to meet you at the reception so they don’t get lost.

Uber is a great app and works very well in this area.

BUS

The only bus that comes into the development is the number 10 - it comes roughly every 5 minutes, slightly longer in the evenings and weekends, particularly on Sundays. It will take you straight from here to the city centre (Princess Street). Just get the same bus back on the opposite side of the road. The displays are digital so it will tell you when the bus is approaching. The bus costs £1.60 per adult per journey and £4 for an all day ticket. Children are free.

The hop on hop off bus is of particular interest for mist travellers. Tickets can be purchased in the city and the bus is extremely frequent.
