The Palace and gardens excellent, however we had an afternoon tea at the Palace Cafe costing £38,00 for two and it offered very poor value for money, one of the worst afternoon tea experiences i have ever had.
3/5 - Okay

Very expensive for the amount of time we spent there

Didn't go to Holyrood House, instead went to the Scottish Parliament building instead - free, and very interesting (about an hour in there max).
