I've looked up the embassy advice and I'm in two minds. Any views?

Yes, why not? Algeria is the next country to have protests so Syria is safe for a while.

I wouldn't have a problem booking a trip to Syria. I've been twice and it's one of the nicest countries I've ever visited. People first and foremost, closely followed by shopping (especially the souk in Aleppo) and food. If you do go, make sure you visit the cafe behind the main mosque in Damascus, where they have a traditional Arabic story teller in the evening
