We usually alternate so everyone's a winner! It's on the second floor of the centre (floor E if you're using a lift). Be warned if you're coming in the car park on the Debenhams side there are a few kids rides that your kids (if anything like mine) will throw a wobbly over before you even get near the door of the soft play. I usually park the M&S side then walk across (seriously) to avoid this situation. Once inside you'll notice it's not the biggest of soft plays but it's not tiny either. I would avoid peak times at ALL costs. It gets busy and I would argue too busy for the size of venue. There are plenty of tables and chairs for you pull up at whilst the kids are off exploring. They have a baby area for those not walking yet and a toddler area for those a little too small for the big stuff. The food and coffee here is actually some of the best and most reasonably priced out of all the soft plays I go to. The BLT panini is particularly nice :) The cakes are also good in here. The changing facilities are pretty standard but they do cater for kiddies who are potty trained in the toilets. A great wee place. Just avoid like hell at peak times :)

Pretty good and convenient if you have some chain store shopping to get through. The space is large…read moreand well-lit with nice views across the Forth river to Fife and the interesting Leith Harbour with its research and fishing vessels. The spaces for play are thoughtfully divided into babies, little kids and bigger kids. There are nice play areas like a market with play food and trolleys, a shoe shop with giant shoes to try on. Stationary electric scooters to sit on. Dress up clothes too. The cafe is decent and not badly priced. Surprisingly good coffee. If the weather is absolutely wretched, you can bus it out to Ocean Terminal and wear your children out at this place. There is also garage parking if you want to drive out there and it's free. Not. Bad.I just wish it was a little bit cheaper. My only real complaint.

This is a new store in Camerontoll Shopping Centre which is always very busy and welcoming…read more They have a huge range of items displayed compactly but in an eye catching manner. There's everything from cosmetics to household cleaners to gifts to snack items. Their products are competitively prices and seem to be value for money. They share Savacentre with a branch of Boots, a Bodycare and a large Sainsburys yet they seem able to stock items which aren't to be found (or are more expensive) in those stores. Surprising but welcomed! The staff are great, very friendly and very efficient. They don't seem to have an issue when I wander round the store pushing my daughter in a buggy either - which is lovely! Some shop assistants can be a bit 'precious' when they see buggies!

Suite Seat is a high quality upholstery business located in Newington. Being a nineteen year old…read morestudent I don't ever need any uholstery done, but if I did then this would probably be the place. I had a quick look round last week and the interior feels stylish and relaxed with plenty of antique as well as contemporary pieces of furniture sitting around. They basically restore the covers on any chairs or sofas which have been damaged, stained or ripped. They have an extensive range of leathers and fabrics which are all (apparantly) competitively priced. They have examples of some of their previous work on display and it looks excellent. Suite Seat is the place to come to find genuine craftsmen who offer a great job at decent prices.

Suite Seat has a professional and relaxed atmosphere and the staff seem helpful. This shop also specialises in clock and watch repairs. Not only that but they sell antique clocks of which there is range displayed in shop. They also seem to sell some odd bits of fairly cheap furniture. This is a fun place to browse even if you're not plannng on buying an antique clock. Quite an odd yet interesting place!

If you're going to stop anywhere in Morningside with a short amount of time, then Andante Bakery should be at the top of your list... This is, unless, it's a Saturday when Edwin and Irwyn (one of the best, if not the best) chocolatier's in Edinburgh is open. If you luck out and happen to be here on the 3rd Saturday of the month, then DO stop by the Morningside Farmers Market in the car park behind the Merlin where you'll be able to grab lunch from the amazing Flat Out food truck. Or you can pick up locally made brownies or locally sourced fish and meats, including boar or pheasant sausages.

I've been travelling to Morningside twice a week for work for several weeks now. As my time in…read moreMorningside runs out, I do feel a little sad to leave it behind. There's an abundance of beautiful cafés and delis including the Zulu Lounge, Salt Café, Blackwood Coffee and S Luca. (Did somebody say ice cream?!) The clincher for me was the impressive amount of charity shops on offer, all with some magnificent donations of a real high quality. I could give recommendations but there's real fun to be had in working your way through Morningside on a second-hand hunt; each and every single time I made the walk from Haymarket to Morningside something new caught my eye, and I cursed myself again for being skint. Ultimately, it was the plentiful charity shops nestled along Morningside Road which made me so very fond of the area. But there's something for everyone and it's a nice little area to explore. I do want to dedicate a day to Morningside; a lunch stop and a browse of the charity shops. - I'm certainly spoiled with the options! PS. Be sure to seek out the mysterious Morningside Wild West whilst you're on that side of town!

If I am looking for a dress for a wedding/dance/formal occasion then Coast is usually my first port…read moreof call. They are always hot on the latest trends and have a better selection than dress shops such as Monsoon which I find can be a bit samey. Although Coast is not cheap the prices are reasonable for the quality and they often have good sales on too so you might get lucky and bag yourself a bargain. I remember a few years ago I needed a new dress for a formal event and after trawling around various different shops I was left uninspired and deflated by the ridiculously expensive price tags on some of the dresses I liked. I found a gorgeous red silk strapless dress in Coast and it was significantly less expensive than other stores I'd checked out and I fell in love with the dress as soon as I saw it. Most of the dresses in Coast are timeless and the quality is fantastic so the outfits here are something you'll be able to wear for years to come and not need to worry about it going out of fashion.

Coast is a lovely shop with high quality, timeless pieces that will make you feel drop dead gorgeous. For the high street, it can be expensive but it's a good option for a one-off piece or for that special occasion. This Coast on George St is conveniently located so you can pop into neighbouring shops. The staff are friendly and happy to give you their opinion

Keep in mind also that any clothes bought from an outlet can only be exchanged in an outlet, not in the standard high street stores that are not outlets. As I was informed, they're different companies.
