Edinburgh weekend

This home was exactly what we needed for our three day visit to Edinburgh. All communication was accurate and easy. The home was extremely clean, quiet and comfortable. It was very well stocked and we wanted for nothing. Good bed and lovely shower. Access to the city was easy with the bus stop right outside. Coffee shop and small supermarket across the road and a “chippy” around the corner. Lucky to have found it and would highly recommend it!

Perfect for our needs

We had a wonderful stay here. Plenty of space, a clean and comfortable accommodation with everything a person could need. Elisabeth was excellent with communication beforehand and we felt very well taken care of.Just a few minutes from plenty of coffee, food, grocery stores and trams / buses.I would happily return next time I’m in Edinburgh!

Great times

Loved the flat! Fully appointed, spacious, and clean. Fantastic location. General night street noise and early morning garbage pickup and road construction left too few hours for solid sleep. Hopefully the street work will be done soon as this is a great location. Highly recommend

Beautiful house, great location

We all loved it. A beautiful property within walking distance to shopping as well 'downtown' Edinburgh, the castle and various museums. We had everything we needed and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again!

As good as it gets..

Sometimes it's easy to write a review about staying somewhere, and in a sense this is one of those situations. Simply put, there is absolutely nothing that isn't top-notch about Robin's Old Merchant's House suite. From the appearance of the neighborhood and the house itself, to the gardens leading up to the front door, to the tastefully decorated and stylish interior, this comfortable and well-appointed home is truly a delight to stay at. The suite itself has every amenity, and the thoughtful designer touches and attention to details sets it apart from most others. It's quiet location, the comfortable beds with plump pillows and soft duvets, and the roomy bedrooms (with ample closets and drawers) provide for restful sleeps and ease of dressing. The kitchen is large and very conducive to food preparation and cooking, and the eating area easily seats four around 3 sides of a table. The location is well-suited to easy 10 minute (or less) walking to numerous local restaurants and pubs, as well as historic cathedrals, buildings, and various points of interest. We could walk to the Hop-On Hop-off bus loop in about 20 minutes, and another 10 minute walk would take us across North Bridge to the Royal Mile. Taxis are easy to flag near the house, and it's also a short distance to Waverley train station. We had a remarkably enjoyable experience staying at The Old Merchant's House while visiting Edinburgh, and we'd wholeheartedly recommend it's consideration to anybody else.

Edinburgh New Town

Loved staying in Newtown, everything we needed was within walking distance including the train station. The only thing I would have found useful was a microwave. Loved how quiet it was during the night and early morning. Great experience would definitely stay again.
