About this property

Bruce on the Row-Historic Elegance near Edinburgh

Welcome to Bruce on the Row, a grand 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment in a beautifully converted mansion in the heart of Dunfermline. Inspired by Robert the Bruce, this elegant retreat blends history and comfort with Chesterfield sofas, a 55” TV, and a private garden. Just 2 mins from the High Street, 5 mins to Dunfermline Abbey, and 10 mins to the train station — reach Edinburgh in only 19 minutes!

Steeped in inspiration from Robert the Bruce, the apartment features soaring ceilings, a regal entrance hallway, and characterful touches throughout — including a statement lion throne chair that looks worthy of a Scottish king.

The master bedroom boasts a super-king steel-frame bed and a private en-suite bathroom, creating a truly impressive retreat. The second bedroom offers a comfortable king-size bed, while the third bedroom features a luxurious king-size TV bed, perfect for winding down in style.

In the elegant living room, classic Chesterfield sofas and a beautiful antique mirror set the tone for relaxed evenings. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, microwave, Nespresso machine, full cookware, and a six-seater dining table that extends for larger gatherings. From here, you have direct access to the private garden, ideal for morning coffees or evening drinks.

Grand, inviting, and full of character, Bruce on the Row offers a unique stay in one of Dunfermline’s most distinguished historic buildings — where modern comfort meets timeless Scottish heritage.

The house is beautiful! While I appreciated the style and authentic look they were going for, the furniture was incredibly uncomfortable including our bed. Parking was a challenge at times as there are only 2 parking spaces on the block and when we arrived both spots were taken. There is a parking lot up the block you can pay to park in which we took advantage of but it was a hassle with all of our luggage that first day. I do have to say James, our host, was very responsive and attentive. I appreciated his efforts to help us have an enjoyable stay.

Hey, I had no idea the bed was uncomfortable- you should have said at the time and we could have tried to sort. The mattress on all the beds are premium hypno mattress and it’s the first time we have had someone say this, can check other sites and will see. As for parking as it’s over 150 years old they didn’t build car parks outside the houses here. But the car park you are referring too is 3 mins to walk to. Thanks for the review.
