The location is amazing and the accommodations were excellent. Check in was actually easier than the directions made it sound. We did have some difficulty finding enough outlets and adjusting to the British way of doing things, like trying to figure out how to get the towel warming bars to work, etc. The beds were quite comfortable and the linens were very nice and fresh. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this location.

This lovely condo was meticulously appointed with magnificent views of the castle. Location was an easy 8 min walk to most downtown activities and sites, including WhiskyTastings, cathedral, and landmarks that inspired the Harry Potter stories. The kitchen is exceptionally appointed with an espresso machine and milk frother, as well as all necessary tools for a gourmet kitchen if you choose to eat in. Duties at departure were minimal. Overall highly recommend!!!!

The flat was exactly as described. All the beds were US kings, two bedrooms had onsuites one had a bathroom nearby. Nice modern kitchen, very spacious and comfortable. Greatlocation! Once you are in the building there is one flight of stairs to navigate, so make sure at least one person in your party can carry luggage up.

Stunning home in a perfect location. It was even better than the pictures! Seeing the castle just outside everyday was dreamy. So easy to walk to great food and shopping. Near a wonderful playground by the fountain. Made a perfect and comfortable gathering place for our family vacation with our adult children and granddaughter. Thank you for sharing it with us!
