Not New Years, but went up for a weekend, amazing place, VERY welcoming, even in the dodgy pubs people were friendly.

Deffo recomend the place for either a weekend with the lads, or a few nights with the misses.

Done the New Year thing in Edinburgh a few times and its brilliant, you will have a great time, just remember to keep your phones charged because its easy to get split up (although around 12am its not gonna connect anyway ).


Cheers,
Grant
