Edinburgh is a great city to visit on any golf trip; on offer are fantastic sights like Edinburgh Castle and excellent dining and shops to keep everyone happy! In October of this year, the extensive refurbishment work started on Caledonian Hilton. The hotel will go through many changes which will include the creation of a courtyard lounge, the relocation of the main hotel restaurant and a substantial investment in upgrading the hotels bedrooms. The refurbishment is due to be complete in the summer of 2012; the 254 bedroom hotel will rebrand as The Caledonian, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Ondine is situated in the centre of Edinburgh’s old town and has been endorsed by many of our clients who have stayed in and around Scotland’s capital. They have just recently been announced as the regional winner for Scotland in The Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year awards; voted for by diners.
Owner of Ondine, Roy Brett, said of the win: “This is fantastic news…Over the last 20 months we’ve all worked hard to establish Ondine as a great dining destination with a special atmosphere to match, I’m glad our efforts have been recognised by the critics, by the customers and now by one of Britain’s most prestigious food guides”.

Ondine Restaurant
At PerryGolf we are asked regularly by our clients for dining suggestions and this is an area we work hard to keep up to date with. The relatively new Ondine restaurant in Edinburgh is one that has been doing very well since it opened in September 2009, and it has recently been awarded the title of ‘Seafood Restaurant of the Year’ at the Scottish Restaurant Awards. This category is one of the most hotly contested given the reputation of Scottish seafood as being amongst the best in the world.

John and Kristian Beall on the New Course, St Andrews
The Beall Group were PerryGolf’s first travellers of the 2010 Season. Mr. Beall travelled with his son and brother and they played some of the finest links courses that the East Coast of Scotland has to offer. Three out of the five courses which they played feature in the top 100 in the world…and the pinnacle of these was Muirfield. North Berwick and Cruden Bay were the others to make it into the top 100, but the New Course at St. Andrews and Royal Aberdeen are not far behind.

While on a recent visit to Edinburgh, I spent some time at the new Hotel Di Vin property in the city. The hotel has been open just over a year and is very stylishly decorated. It has the feel of a small hotel and I was surprised that they have 47 rooms as you would not have thought so from looking at the outside.
The hotel is a short walk from the city centre and just up the road from the Museum of Scotland. Entry is via a courtyard that will be excellent in the summer and which also offers a cigar bothy – something I have never seen before but I imagine is very popular with cigar aficionados (especially in the winter).
