The accomodation was exceptionally as was the location . Broughty Ferry has lots to offer from independent shops , cafes and wine bars/pubs . The whole experience was exceptional, with the service from the agent adding to this. More bar seats in the kitchen, as this was often the hub where we congregated. These could be stackable so they could be stored when not in use. ##### Kathy ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Peninsula- Puerto Vallarta- Oceanfront Paradise 3 Bdrm from $999/week](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Peninsula-Puerto-Vallarta-Oceanfront-Paradise-3-Bdrm-From-999week.h27133525.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sligachan Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Isle-Of-Skye-Hotels-Sligachan-Hotel.h14705327.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Back Bay/Fenway](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Boston-Back-BayFenway.h6042802.Hotel-Information) > > [Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Carberry-Tower-Mansion-House-And-Estate.h1411895.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d179995-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Motels.d178315-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Kailua-Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels.d1879.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Villas Thailand](https://www.expedia.ca/Thailand-Villas.d178-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Rothesay](https://www.expedia.ca/Rothesay-Hotels.d181819.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kennebunkport](https://www.expedia.ca/Kennebunkport-Hotels.d10869.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [La Suite West - Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-La-Suite-West-Hyde-Park.h5210931.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Marquette](https://www.expedia.ca/Marquette-Hotels.d2408.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Southampton (SOU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sou/toronto-to-southampton) > > [WestJet Paris (CDG) to Calgary (YYC) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-roissy-charles-de-gaulle-to-calgary-intl/ws/cdg/yyc) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Málaga (AGP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lgw/agp/london-to-malaga) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sin/toronto-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Kailua-Kona (KOA) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/koa/yvr/kailua-kona-to-vancouver) > > [WestJet Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-pearson-intl-to-cancun-intl/ws/yyz/cun) ### Cars ### Packages > [Bali Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Bali.d602651.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome.dx179899)
