Have You Got that Friday Feeling...?

Good morning on this rainy Edinburgh day!

So when did the memo go out that Christmas is in two weeks time? A question that all of us have been asking ourselves since all the shops have started putting up their Christmas decorations and putting out their Christmas stock. This happens every year, however it always seems to start just a little bit earlier each year. Head to Dobbies and you can pick yourself up a Christmas Tree (fake or real!), baubles, lights of all colours and shapes as well as that all important singing reindeer that you obviously have to have on your roof this year!

On top of thinking about buying those all important Christmas presents for every single member of your family we've also got the worry of the credit crunch which is hitting the nation. Although it all seems a little uncertain at the moment we are seeing an increase in enquiries from companies looking for short term accommodation for employees and clients alike. Often on a budget it's crucial that these companies find the most cost effective option and that's where we are able to help them. By offering apartments that are close to their offices, often with parking and broadband or WIFI we are able to solve their accommodation needs as well as providing them a real 'home from home'.

Experts in our field we are doing all we can to ensure we provide excellent quality accommodation that stands out from the rest which will see us through these turbulent times.
