Cheap accommodation - Edinburgh Tattoo

Hi,

Just booked tickets for the Edinburgh Tattoo in August and looking for cheap accommodation for 2 nights (Fri & Sat).

Any ideas?

I've checked Travel Lodge online but they won't book/check that far in advance online. Going to ring them tomorrow though.

Makes it kinda awkward with 5 of us (3 adults & 2 children) so looking for family room plus single room.

Thanks ;D

    accomodation at festival time is always expensive and in demand. you may find it easier/cheaper to look at options with in travelling distance of edinburgh. stirling 45-60 minutes, fife 20-30 minutes away by car or train.

    It compares prices from 12 hotel booking companies.
    You will be amazed at the difference in prices for the same room on the same nights.

    You can search for all hotels in Edinburgh or on 1800 other destinations worldwide.

    Alternatively, if you know your hotel name then you can search just to get the best rates for that particular hotel only.
