Went for afternoon tea here, think its a new thing they have just started up, and had a great time. It was great value for money and very tasty; with sandwiches, cakes, scones and tea/coffee. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the surrounding grounds were beautiful. Me and some friends are definitely going again!

The Gillis centre is an ecclesiastical property situated in the morningside area of Edinburgh. This is about a ten minute bus ride to the centre but is walkable if you are reasonably fit and energetic.

This place was advertised as quiet and tranquil as former convent - yet, there is a very busy road next to it, and as we stayed in the room closest to that road, it was anything but quiet. Furthermore, on one of the evenings there was very loud music played right under our room so again, anything but quiet. The... More
