Your Secret Place in Edinburgh is...

Just a few miles from the city centre, Portobello Beach oozes traditional seaside charm.

Enjoy a warm crepe or an ice cream as you stroll along the promenade, play fun games in the arcades or visit the indoor swimming pool with a Turkish bath where you can relax with three hot rooms, a steam room, a relaxation area and a cold plunge pool.

Cold Town House

A bar with a great view, Cold Town House gives revelers the spirit of a classic Apres-ski with Edinburgh Castle as a backdrop.

And if that wasn’t enough, the ample seating includes the opportunity to sit in one of the bar’s most famous features – its gondola ski booths.

Adorned with green garlands and dim lighting, the rooftop bar is a great place to unwind.

Drinks include everything from homebrewed beers to cocktails and wine, all of which you can order from a vintage Nissan van.

In addition, there's a great selection of dishes to pair, including stone-baked pizzas from an artisan Italian oven, exquisite burgers, and churros for dessert.
