“Grove House strikes me as a properly restful spot, a bit outside the city's frenzy but an easy walk to Princes Street when you're ready. I like the sound of their full Scottish breakfast - haggis and tattie scones are always a good sign. The courtyard and honesty bar give it a social feel too; it's the sort of place you might actually meet other guests.”
