About this property

3 Bedroom nr Royal Mile, Quiet Area, Sleeps 6

In a charming quiet area just off Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, nestling right at the foot of historic Calton Hill, the seriously stylish three bedroom Malt Kiln Apartment (previous name McDonald Residence) is your ideal relaxing holiday retreat. Built on the site of the former historic Canongate brewery maltings, a short walk away from the major attractions in City Centre Edinburgh, the apartment has been expertly designed to give you a stylish contemporary Scottish welcome.

Appreciate the Rennie Mackintosh inspired architecture of The Malt Kiln Apartment as you return to your city hideaway after strolling on the Royal Mile, having enjoyed all the lovely shops with their local cashmere and crafts, and historic sights such as the magnificent St.Giles Cathedral.

Sink into the luscious comfort of your comfortable leather sofas piled with cushions in wools, plaids and silks, as you relax and plan your evening out perhaps at one of Edinburgh's many delicious restaurants - some are Michelin starred. Or pick out something that takes your fancy on stage for a fantastic night at one of Edinburgh's world-class theatres.

On the walls of the Malt Kiln Apartment, photography of nearby local scenes from Edinburgh’s Old Town, taken by the apartment owner, are alongside Modern Scottish art prints to give a real sense of where you are, and maybe the inspiration for planning day trips and visits!

Crisp white 200 count Egyptian cotton linens and pocket spring mattresses provide superb comfort for a great night’s sleep, as you recharge from exploring this iconic city.

Bedroom 1 has a super king bed, which can also be made up as two single beds, In bedroom 2 you will find a double bed (compact room), and in bedroom 3, a king size bed. There is a main bathroom with a bath and shower over, toilet and basin.

The flat has a flat screen smart TV, Bose Soundtouch bluetooth speaker and wifi throughout. The apartment is on the first floor.

A selection of restaurants and cafes are on your doorstep on the Royal Mile tempting you to dine close to home after a busy day sightseeing, or even for breakfast al fresco! There is also a local food store conveniently situated to the rear of the apartment block, and a supermarket a few minutes walk away should you wish to unwind and cook at home in your fully-equipped kitchen - which includes a dishwasher, washing machine and microwave.

Awesome Location

One block off the royal mile. 10 minute walk to Holyrood Palace. The building and the street are very quiet! Apartment was very clean. The beds and pillow’s were comfy. We only used the kitchen for tea and coffee but it seemed well stocked. Washer available. Great place! Emil was our contact and he was so helpful. He was there waiting when we arrived. Showed us around the place and then gave us tips on where to go and have dinner.
