*Scroll down for our website link with more about the Villa.
** We are now accepting bookings for 2010 and we do book up early, especially for August, summer, holidays, and bank weekends.
We now have a Wii game system and games! British Wii is provided, an American Wii system is available on request(for our American guests wishing to bring games).
Edinburgh Villa is a truly unique offering! Stay in a 4 bedroom Victorian house with enclosed gardens and English Conservatory in Edinburgh City Center. Prestigious area of Edinburgh called Murrayfield at the foot of historical Corstorphine Hill and surrounded by sites North, South, East & West!
Walking distance to the zoo, shops, formal parks, and 10 minutes by bus route will drop you off right on the Royal Mile, Princes Street or by the castle. Perfect size of accommodation for those requiring a bit more space than a flat/apartment and modern living in a lovely, comfortable, Victorian Scottish house with period detail throughout. Parking here isn't a problem either.
All bedrooms recently redecorated. New suite in living room. 2nd TV added upstairs.
A conservatory with comfy wicker furniture leads from the kitchen and offers a wonderful area to sit, eat crumpets and plan your day!
We are also located opposite a 18 hole golf course open to visitors and with golf club rentals.
The perfect base to explore Edinburgh. Visit our website for day trip suggestions from our nearby Haymarket train station.
Rent with us and relax, our properties are professionally managed by ourselves and have been loved by all. Coffee, biscuits and fresh flowers await. There's nothing in Edinburgh quite like this rental so book today!
On the ground floor there is:
Fully fitted kitchen with all appliances including dishwasher, microwave, washer dryer, coffee maker etc.
Conservatory which is a peaceful retreat and overlooks the walled garden.
Bright and spacious Living room with brand new luxury seating, TV, books and gamecube system.
Modern Dining room with seating for 6.
Upstairs there is the large master bedroom with an ensuite shower room, a further recentl redecorated double bedroom and two redecorated single bedrooms. All bedrooms have wardrobes. There is also the second full bathroom with bath.. and heated towel rail! There is a pull out bed which sleeps a 7th person (suitable for a child only). This is an additional 50GBP per week. Please note the house sleeps a maximum of 6 adults.
Exterior: The house has a wonderful fully enclosed back garden with old roses, lupins, heathers, hebes, sweat pea and even apples and berries in summer. There is also a small lawn and a very unusual patio area made with Edinburgh cobblestones. Plenty of parking spaces!
There is a swingball set for the children. The front garden is also gated.
We are located in Edinburgh City Centre. Driving in the Princes Street/castle area is not recommended due to little to no parking. The best method of visiting these attractions is by using the highly efficient Edinburgh bus service. A main bus stop is a 2 minute walk from the house and double decker buses frequent the stop every few minutes during the day, and frequently during the night. The bus trip is only 15 minutes to the castle and drives you past historic monuments and buildings.
Within a 5 minute walk is an 18 hole golf course, there are 2 other golf courses less than 1.5 miles away. The Edinburgh zoo is only 0.7 miles, a co-op grocery store (five mins) and a library (10 mins). A large park on over 47 manicured acres with wonderful formal gardens and topiarys, specimen trees, an Italian garden, and a glassed winter garden with exotic plants is just 15 minutes walk, perfect for picnics! There is also a child's creative play area and open land for ball games etc. Asda supermarket is five minutes by car.
The International Airport is an easy 10-15 minute drive.
We also have broadband internet available for your laptop.
