About this property

Very central, next to the Castle with garden

Right at the heart of Edinburgh in the shadow of the world famous Edinburgh Castle. Next door to theatres, restuarants, bars, shoppping and a short distance to all the main sightseeing.

An early Victorian apartment with its own front door from the street with a small terrace to the front and a rear garden accessed by french windows to the rear.

Perfect for a family city centre break or those working in the centre.

As animal lovers we welcome all well behaved furry companions.
The space
Traditional victorian main door apartment with small terrace garden in front with view of the Castle and a beautiful tranquil communal garden to the rear.

The living dining room is spacious with original shutters and plaster work. The sizable bedrooms both benefit from east facing morning sunshine.

The shower room is small but we do have a separate toilet. The kitchen is also small but functional.

Hogmanay Highlight

My family of 4, with two teen boys aged 13 & 15, stayed at this wonderful apartment for 4 nights to celebrate the new year (aka Hogmanay) in Edinburgh. The apartment was warm and cozy and had everything needed to make for a great stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking equipment and basic spices so you can easily whip up a meal. We loved the location - close to restaurants, market and an easy walk to town. Alastair and Morag were great hosts and easy to communicate with from booking to check out. Would definitely recommend staying here while visiting Edinburgh! P.S. If you like Scotch, Cafe Royal had a great selection with cheap (by NY standards) price per pour. My husband created his own tasting.
