Christmas Shopping in Edinburgh
No doubt about it - Christmas Shopping can be a chore!
Have fun this year by taking a Christmas Shopping break in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
Many of you will know of the German Christmas Market which takes place every year and the big wheel, the ice rink, the record breaking Santa Run etc etc.
Officially the German Market opens and the Christmas Lights are switched on on Thursday 26th November but there are shops open before then too!
At this time of year Edinburgh to many looks its best, with Edinburgh Castle as a stunning backdrop. Having a compact city centre shopping is easy and browsing a pleasure - Men take note!!

Last Minute in Edinburgh
Thankyou to all the emailers asking for Tattoo Tickets. As you know we are almost fully booked for August 2010 and only buy Tattoo Tickets for our own guests.
Having free Wifi broadband access and online payment facilities means that many of our guests actually booked and paid deposits for their 2010 Festival Accommodation, during their 2009 visit!
However Edinburgh is an all year round destination and much cheaper to visit during the winter months. We are happy to accept last minute bookings if we have the availability, and have accommodated guests already in the city at the Tourist Information Centre on Princes Street. At less than 10 minutes walk away, you don't get accommodation must faster than that!
So if you think you may like an Edinburgh city break "off season" and stay at Anne House Apartments, simply go to http://www.annehouse.co.uk/ and enquire about our late availability. Full detailsof our late offers can be found at http://www.annehouse.co.uk/offers.html.
E.G. Holyrood or Royal Mile Apartments - 2 nights for 4 people are offered for £250.00, 3 nights for 4 people are offered for £300.00, - giving even better value, at just £25.00 per person per night. Prices are fully inclusive and also include free parking if available (our 3 apartments have 2 parking spaces). Parking in Edinburgh City centre currently costs around £20.00 per day - if you can find it!

Tattoo Tickets
Hello everyone,
just to let you know that we have applied for the tickets.
Those of you who have stayed in our accommodation before will know that at only 7 minutes walk from Anne House Apartments to Edinburgh Castle it's quite easy to get there and even easier to walk home as it will be down hill!

Family Christmas Gift
It's the perfect gift for a complete family or group, a weekend or midweek visit to Edinburgh and a trip to the theatre possibly a visit to the panto - "Oh Yes It Is!"
Certainly one that will be remembered long after the latest Must Have Toy or DVD bites the dust, and a great excuse for the generations to do something together.
We recommend as Fun for all the Family
JM Barrie's Peter Pan at the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh http://www.lyceum.org/
or a visit to the King's Theatre - Qdos Pantomimes: Robinson Crusoe & The Caribbean Pirates. http://www.eft.co.uk/.
Before buying your tickets check out the availability by contacting us at http://www.annehouse.co.uk/. we will happily hold an accommodation booking until you have bought your seats for the performance. "Oh Yes We Will"!
