“The Salisbury strikes me as a well-situated boutique choice, a Georgian townhouse set slightly apart from the bustle but still convenient. Rooms are individually styled and thoughtfully equipped, and the location provides good access to Edinburgh's attractions. It's a quiet base with some appealing character.”
