Hi,

I know this may be the impossible task due to the Edinburgh Festival being on but does anyone know of anywhere in or near Edinburgh where I am likely to be able to book a room on Saturday 25th August please? I have tried quite a few places with no luck at all.

I am off to the rugby and want to be so drunk I can't get on the last train

oh and I may have some company

Thanks for trying anyway Paul

Is there anywhere reasonably close to Edinburgh that I could get back to on the Saturday night and then back to Edinburgh on the Sunday again

Matey,

If you are desperate i have a sofa bed!

Although my flat aint the most romantic of places!

http://www.laterooms.co.uk - you have probably tried that i guess!

As for Ed's, it may not be romantic, but it does have free parking and close to town!!

Thanks guys I spent hours yesterday on laterooms and last minute to no avail however today there are places of course only very expensive hotel options. However I did find a really nice appartment for £135 for the Friday and Saturday night (Newington Apartment 183 Dalkeith Road) looks great - only downside is shared bathroom but hey at least I have somewhere now. Also an amazing price.

Ed thanks ever so much for the amazingly kind offer for staying over at your flat but I guess it may have altered other parts of my weekend

I went to the spiegel tent a few years ago and it was worth it for the comedy fontleroy banter. "My daddy owns surrey dont you know!"

Cheers Ed will try and get to see that mate

Other 'Fontleroy' locations :

- Last weekend at some country house nr. Peebles - "Oh darling - how was South Africa ?" "It was South America, actually"

- Last Year at Lonach Gathering (The Connelly Games)- scorching weather - all the Fontelroy brigade in their Hunter wellies
