Grab your own cosy nook right on the Royal Mile – Edinburgh's main artery, ending at the castle. Moments away, you'll find whisky bars serving over 200 different drams, fully kilted pipers, and – in August, anyway – the magical chaos of the Edinburgh Festival. This apartment offers brief respite from all that, kitted out with a flat-screen TV for binge-watching, a generous kitchen corner for preparing tipsy laird pudding and a squishy red leather sofa to eat it on. Downstairs is the famous World's End pub – grab a pint and people-watch for a while.

With the New Town’s shops and restaurants on your doorstep and many of Edinburgh’s most famous sights within walking distance, there’s no end to the entertainment available around this stylish home. Housed in a beautifully preserved Georgian townhouse, there’s a definite feeling of natural calm in this apartment with its dark green sofa, pale wood floors and chic modern furnishings. Open up the door in the living room and master bedroom to step out onto a peaceful private courtyard framed by stone walls, where a table and chairs invite sunny breakfasts and evening drinks beneath the moon. We love the clever use of cabinetry that’s been used for the bespoke kitchenette and the master bedroom’s chic vanity desk that will make getting ready for a night out on the town a treat. History buffs will be happy that they're just a twelve-minute walk away from Edinburgh Castle while Calton Hill, with its incomparable city views, is a fourteen-minute stroll from your front door. 

Stone & Sage

At the foot of the Royal Mile, just a five-minute stroll away from Holyrood Palace, you'll find this slick apartment that's perfectly set up for city living. It's a modern space – contrasting with the winding, historic streets outside – where you can settle down on the buttery soft leather sofa and enjoy a nip of whisky between your adventures. The smart grey sideboard opens up to reveal a small kitchen, ideal for preparing a quick bowl of porridge before heading out, and your hosts are on hand to provide hotel-level services during your stay. A wander up the Royal Mile will lead you to imposing Edinburgh Castle in just over ten minutes, where you can walk in the footsteps of Scotland's ancient kings and queens. Or, take a hike up nearby Arthur's Seat for the very best views over the city – you won't be disappointed. 

A Wee Dram

Toaster

Experience a stay like no other at this cosy Gothic castle, part of an unfinished design for Edinburgh’s first observatory. At the top of Calton Hill, you'll have some truly breathtaking views from this historical home. The National Gallery is next door and the rest of the city is a short walk away, easily making up for the lack of parking. It should be noted that the home's standout location does attract a number of tourists, so if you're looking for some peace and privacy it might not be for you. That said, the main bedroom enjoys an en-suite with a luxurious standalone bathtub, and there's outdoor seating to make the most of this stunning location.

The Stargazer's Retreat

Freezer

Cleaning Products

Steeped in traditional charm and gleaming with grandeur, this charming apartment could easily play holiday home to the Royal Family – and thanks to its prestigious Ramsay Garden location, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy Edinburgh's innumerable sights and sounds on foot. From the famous Royal Mile to the fortress of Edinburgh Castle, one thing's for absolutely certain – you'll never be short of things to see and do.

The home itself is a splendourful hub flush with all things luxurious. Beautiful antique furnishings add character, meanwhile the peppering of gold–framed artworks sprinkle an extra dusting of splendour. The colour scheme is a medley or warm reds and rich browns and in the master bathroom, traditional black and white floor tiles instantly draw the eye. We particularly love the living area with its brown leather chaise sofa and Persian rug. Complete with an ancient fireplace at its heart, there's also a circular alcove and desk to one side, and a flatscreen television. Quite frankly, we couldn't think of a more elegant spot to watch a movie!

This home will leave you feeling like lord of the manor, but as tempting as it may be to stay within the walls of your royal headquarters, with so much to explore – and all within easy reach – be sure to peel yourself away from your plush pad and traverse.

Private Entrance

Tucked away down a quiet mews street in Stockbridge, this architecturally unique converted coach house is the perfect place to begin your getaway in the Scottish capital.  It's a peaceful spot that's still within walking distance of the city centre – we think you'll fall in love with Edinburgh's rugged charm in no time at all. 

From the flagstone floors in the kitchen to the original stove in the bedroom, this home is bursting with traditional details to admire. However, there are also plenty of modern comforts – you'll love cooking up your favourite dishes in the well-equipped kitchen using fresh local ingredients. And, when it's time to relax, you can take a soak in the bath before slipping into the crisp white sheets. 

You'll also have access to private river gardens nearby at the end of the mews lane, where you can relax on sunny days or wander down the river into bustling Stockbridge. Beautiful Dean Village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an unspoilt pocket of the city with ancient buildings and cobbled streets, just a ten-minute walk away. And, a twenty-five-minute walk will bring you through the New Town to the iconic castle and the Royal Mile. 

Artist's Muse

Child Friendly

Housed in a former brewery from the 1800s, this cool home nods to its past while dazzling with modern comforts and contemporary style. A monochrome palette gives it a sleek look, with wood and leather accents giving it a characterful industrial edge. We love the Crittall doors in the living room that lead to a beautifully dressed bed, behind which a sketch-style mural hints at the home’s heritage. When you’re not kicking back on the sofa with a cold beer, catching up on work at the desk or enjoying luxurious soaks under the rainfall shower, go out and explore your surroundings. Your Old Town neighbourhood is full of narrow alleys where museums, shops and restaurants all vie for your attention, while Calton Hill (a ten-minute walk away) offers impressive views over the entire city. With the Royal Mile a seven-minute stroll away and Edinburgh Castle reachable in thirteen minutes on foot, you couldn’t be better placed to experience the best that the city has to offer.

Set within a former hospital, you’ll find plenty of character along with all the contemporary comforts you could need for a cosy break. The living room lends itself perfectly to lazy evenings at home, while the dedicated desks make this a great option for remote workers. Private parking is available for one car and you’ll find a great selection of cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance.  

Scottish Delight

Right across the street from Edinburgh’s beautiful Queen Street Gardens, this chic apartment has everything you need for a relaxing stay in the city. With its tall ceilings, soft grey walls, dark wood floors and modern furnishings, there’s an elegant simplicity in the decor that makes you feel instantly at home. We love how the home has been carefully designed with space in mind, like the bespoke kitchenette, cleverly hidden within a cabinet, and the stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom creating a visual feature piece in their own right. After mornings enjoying breakfast at the window-side table and luxuriating under the rainfall shower, go out and explore your surroundings. You’ve got plenty of Edinburgh’s most iconic sights within easy walking distance, including Princes Street for great shopping (six minutes away), Edinburgh Castle for an afternoon of history (twelve minutes away) and Calton Hill for stunning sunset views over the city (fourteen minutes away). Factor in the countless bars and restaurants in your New Town neighbourhood and you’ve got ample entertainment to keep you going. 


New Town Fling

Lift Access

Paid Parking On Premises

This Edinburgh apartment is perfect for those wanting to drop off their bags and get out exploring. With practicality and comfort at its core, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in location, being a short stroll from the city centre and old town. Despite its proximity to so many of Edinburgh’s best bits, you’ll find yourself in a quiet neighbourhood so you can rest easy after a day of sightseeing. With The Meadows on your doorstep, you can even enjoy a tranquil walk along the tree-lined paths when you crave some downtime. 

Scottish Soul

24-Hour Front Desk

Indulge in a stylish stay on George Street, one of Edinburgh's most well-known streets and home to famous bars and restaurants including The Dome, The Ivy, Dishoom and the Cafe Royal. Bay windows have views of the castle, the Firth of Forth and, of course, the timeless Georgian architecture right outside your door. Cook up neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes, for the uninitiated) in the large kitchen corner, which comes with everything you need, hidden behind sleek, white cupboard doors. Serve up at the table in the sunny bay window with a view straight to the castle. After a tough hike up Arthur's Seat, freshen up using the Bulgari toiletries in the bathroom and sink into your sumptuous tufted bed. Just note it's about 90 steps to reach this apartment, so we suggest packing light.

A Braw Nicht

Located above bustling George Street, you'll find boutique shops, charming cafes and gorgeous Victorian architecture right on your doorstep. This area is a popular spot with locals, students and tourists alike, as there are plenty of excellent restaurants and trendy bars to while away the evenings in. Edinburgh Castle, a twelfth-century fortress, is only a ten-minute walk away and offers some beautiful views over the city, while historic Old Town is reachable in fifteen minutes. Back at home, this apartment marries modern living with timeless elegance. Curl up on chilly nights in front of the electric fire, rustle up a delicious meal in the sleek kitchen or lounge on the sofa with a glass of scotch and your favourite shows playing on the TV. This home is stylish, sophisticated and minimal, making it the perfect place to rest your feet after a day spent wandering down Edinburgh's cobbled streets.

Vesper Violet

What a fantastic location this stylish apartment has in Edinburgh's Old Town. It's just a five-minute walk from the stunning Palace of Holyroodhouse, while the Royal Mile is a ten-minute stroll away. The city's most famous landmark, Edinburgh Castle, is under twenty minutes on foot if you want to take some snaps of this icon. Back at this industrial-inspired home, there's everything you need to feel comfortable during your stay. We love the spider chandelier, modern prints and monochrome wallpaper here. Plan your days from the comfy sofa or enjoy a takeaway at the dining table if you don't fancy eating out. This home is perfect for a group of friends or a family looking to be within walking distance of many of Edinburgh's wonderful sights.

Royal Walk

Take in the wonderful views over the Royal Mile towards Arthur's Seat from inside this charming apartment, housed in a traditional Old Town building. We love the character features here, such as the sash windows and exposed stone walls. This home is perfect for a couple or a solo traveller wanting to easily explore Edinburgh on foot.

The location is fabulous – situated near the top of the Royal Mile, it's just over a five-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle. It's the same walking distance to The Scotch Whisky Experience, where you can discover the history of Scotland's national drink. Just over a fifteen-minute stroll, on the other hand, will take you to the Scottish Parliament building and the majestic Palace of Holyroodhouse. There's so much on your doorstep you'll need to book another stay to fit it all in.


A Royal View

Outdoor Seating

Cosy and comfortable, this basement-level apartment is an excellent option for couples. Inside, there's a well-appointed kitchen, a light-filled living area, and a bedroom with a small workspace. You'll also have the added bonus of a communal garden, where you can enjoy a glass of Scotch in the sunshine. But what we love the most here is the location. Set in bustling New Town, you'll find shops, pubs, and restaurants nearby. Further afield, but still easily reached on foot, is picturesque Old Town, while Stockbridge and Dean Village are also within easy reach.

New Town Cool

Situated rather conveniently in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, this elegant apartment offers a lovely base for a family or an intimate group of friends visiting the Scottish capital and looking to make the most of all it has to offer. You’ll be able to reach most of the city’s iconic sights on foot, and with the magnificent Scottish National Gallery just moments away, we suggest starting your exploration with a dose of art. 

You’ll be greeted by a large open-plan living and dining area – we love the sophisticated ambience of this pad, with a stylish lounge area offering a comfy sofa and armchairs. Kick back and relax after a day of dashing about town or delight your loved ones by rustling up a delectable feast in the modern kitchen. 

Later, head over to the comfy bedrooms for a night of sweet dreams – you’ll have a choice of two equally plush rooms here. Factor in the sleek bathrooms, including one with a bathtub, and you'll have everything needed for a restful stay. 

The Monarch of the Glen 

This home's vast living room merges period grandeur with a contemporary neutral palette as the high, elegantly corniced ceilings meet with the modern, muted grey walls. On the raised ground floor of a typical Georgian building, it's the perfect blend of the city's historic architecture and clean-cut contemporary styling. Along with the spacious living room, complete with a dining table for four, there's a separate kitchen with everything you could need for cooking at home, and a relaxing bedroom to retreat to at the end of a day exploring. Found in the West End of the city, near to Haymarket station, the flat offers easy transport links and is only ten minutes walk away from Princes Street. Stroll to Edinburgh Castle in less than half an hour or explore the area's excellent independent boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars.

This home is also conveniently located for the West End Tram stop station and Haymarket station. Inside this house, set over three floors, you'll find a large sunny drawing room to relax in. There’s also an office with a desk and printer for when you need to work while away in this wonderful city.

Scottish Elegance

Pod Coffee Machine

Not far from Edinburgh Castle, this apartment is in a great spot, close enough to the tourist sights but away from the crush of the Royal Mile. Despite this enviable location, it’s a surprisingly big place, and everything feels very high end. The interiors are relaxed without being too casual — traditional touches, such as the tan leather sofas and the original marble fireplace, mix well with more contemporary flourishes like the glass dining table and the plethora of artwork on display. We’d also be remiss not to mention the wonderful view of the castle, which can be reached in ten minutes on foot. Even closer is the greenery of Princes Street Garden, while there are shops and restaurants galore on nearby George Street.

Single Malt

As elegant as it is comfortable, this stunning apartment in Edinburgh’s New Town has a definite touch of ballroom beauty to it. With its tall corniced ceilings, large sash windows and cobalt blue walls, you’ll instantly feel the home’s Georgian past with stylish modern furnishings giving it a good dose of modern flair. You’ll love kicking back on the sofa with a glass of wine while taking in your pad’s original features and sitting down to breakfasts at the sunny window-side table. The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as sophisticated with its uncluttered decor allowing its largesse to impress. We love the bay window seats here, perfect for catching up on some morning reading, and the bright desk area that will make working from home a treat. When you’re not relaxing in your chic apartment, go out and explore your surroundings. Shop along Princes Street (a six-minute walk away), stroll through Queen Street Gardens (two minutes) and visit Edinburgh Castle (twelve minutes). Calton Hill with its unparalleled Edinburgh views is also just a fourteen-minute walk from your door. 


Invitation To The Ball

Right across the street from Dunbars Close – a beautifully manicured 17th-century style park and garden – this bright apartment is as chic as it is comfortable. From its feature pendant lighting to its large leather sofa and floor-to-ceiling windows, there’s an air of industrial sleekness to this home that makes it feel instantly welcoming. We love the Crittall–style doors that lead to the first bedroom with its brewery-inspired wall art and the living room's cleverly concealed kitchenette that will make meal-prep feel like a Narnia-esque experience. You’ll relish starting mornings, too, in the colourful tiled bathrooms, where rainfall showers provide the ultimate luxury wake-up. When you’re not chilling out in your stylish pad or catching up on work at the bedroom's desk space, go out and explore the local area. You’re just a ten-minute walk from Calton Hill, a thirteen-minute stroll from Edinburgh Castle and a seven-minute amble from the shop-lined Royal Mile. 


Tea With Sugar

At the eastern end of the famous Royal Mile, you’ll find this modern apartment taking residence in an old brewery. Drawing inspiration from its industrial origins, exposed bulbs, Crittall-style doors, robust furniture and dramatic black accents pack heaps of character into the space. The living area has been impeccably curated to ensure guests have enough room to entertain or relax. The bespoke kitchenette is stylish and functional. Put together a light breakfast in the morning accompanied by locally sourced zero-waste coffee, provided by your host. Once you’re fuelled up and ready to go, step out into your Old Town neighbourhood. You’re two doors down from the Museum of Edinburgh, a five-minute walk to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and a fifteen-minute mosey to the ancient Edinburgh Castle.

Burnt Copper

Exercise Equipment

Wellness & Fitness

Placed just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Royal Mile amidst the ancient streets of Old Town, this slick apartment is the perfect escape for two.

Cleverly designed with a Scandinavian aesthetic in mind, we love how airy and light the space feels with pale oak floors and giant windows providing a generous dose of natural daylight. It's a refreshing contrast to the winding, historic streets outside.

Spill out in the comfortable living area with a freshly brewed coffee – or a nip of whisky - depending on the hour. There's Netflix and Amazon Prime for some downtime, or take a flick through the home's copy of Haarkon Adventures for some travel-inspo. Though we doubt you'll need it with so much waiting on your doorstep. 

Get off to a flying start at the National Museum just across the street, famed for its natural history wonders. Then walk in the footsteps of Scotland's ancient kings and queens at Edinburgh Castle (six minutes on foot). 

And when it's time to escape the crowds for a while, head to Edinburgh's volcano, Arthur's Seat (forty minutes on foot), for the very best views over the city – it's worth the hike.

With this Buckstone cottage, you get the best of both worlds. Edinburgh city centre and all its landmarks are only a twenty-minute drive away, but you'll have excellent walks, the Seven Hills viewpoint, and leafy parks practically on your doorstep. Better still, a private front garden here will surely be a hit when the sun is out. It's the perfect spot to wind down in the evenings, though the light-filled living area is also a fine place to relax. The bedrooms are a little snug, but we think it does the job for a laid-back stay on the outskirts of the city.

Cherry Cask

DVD Library

This apartment is just a short stroll from The Meadows, perfect for a picnic or for the children to play. Holyrood Park and the famous Royal Mile are also within walking distance, as are many eateries, including Michelin Star restaurants. Housed in a traditional stone Victorian building, you’ll find period features such as bay windows inside this home. We should note that the third bedroom is off the main bedroom and is a small box room with a single bed, but it’s okay for a child. This place is ideal for a family looking to enjoy all that this wonderful city has to offer.

Meadows Haven

Georgian elegance meets modern comforts in this beautiful blush-coloured studio apartment. With its tall corniced ceilings, huge sash windows and dark wood floors, there’s a definite touch of historic sophistication here. An ornamental fireplace creates a debonair setting in the living room, where a chic desk space invites you to catch up on work in style. The bedroom area is pretty as a picture with its window-side seat, perfect for starting off relaxing mornings over coffee and a good book. After a luxurious soak under the metro-tiled bathroom’s rainfall shower, head out to explore your surroundings. You couldn’t be better placed to visit some of the city’s best sights, including Edinburgh Castle (a twelve-minute walk away), Princes Street (six minutes away) and Calton Hill for sunset vistas (a fourteen-minute stroll from your door).


Blush Hush

Safe

Ideally located just a one-minute walk from Edinburgh’s Haymarket train station, this beautiful Georgian apartment in the city’s West End district is an ideal base for a comfortable, relaxing stay. Elegantly curated in its decor, the living room is a plush affair with its corniced ceilings, parquet floors, large windows and inviting sofas. The kitchen, meanwhile, is lovely and luminous with a stunning Scandi table ready to host hearty breakfasts while feasting on fourth-floor views and intimate dinners while you watch the city’s lights twinkle. Both bedrooms are pared-back and equally sophisticated, providing a cosy canvas for a dreamy night’s sleep. With a separate office room on hand as well, you’ll have no trouble catching up on work from your stylish home base. Outside of your home, you’re a twenty-minute walk from both Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street’s shops and a fifteen-minute stroll from bucolic Dean Village.

Fenced Garden

We love this architect-designed home, furnished with luxury BoConcept furniture. Relax with your family and friends on the huge sofa, then whip up a full Scottish breakfast in the stylish kitchen. It’s not often we mention an extractor fan, but the one here is quite funky. There’s a homely vibe with the mix of art and plants too. On warm summer days, unwind in the enclosed garden and have a picnic on the grass.

Or head out to explore the delights of Edinburgh, while the Queen’s official Scottish residence, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, is just a ten-minute amble. The Royal Mile and Scottish Parliament are both a fifteen-minute saunter away. Or take the family to Dynamic Earth, a state-of-the-art attraction that tells the story of the planet Earth, a seventeen-minute walk. Another visitor favourite, Edinburgh Castle, is just over thirty minutes on foot (twelve minutes in the car). 


Dream Variations

Nestled in the New Town, this stylish apartment grants you easy access to the city's best sights. Feel like staying beside Princes Street, just a thirteen-minute stroll from Edinburgh Castle? You'll have to take the stairs to reach the second floor, but we love how the high ceilings and large-scale windows create a roomy retreat indoors. Perfect for romantic getaways, the main suite offers a freestanding bathtub for post-adventure relaxation. Bedroom two welcomes a third guest, plus kid-friendly travel equipment is available to families. 

Elegant Retreat

This top floor apartment on historic George Street has the best seat in the house, and we're not just talking about the cow print armchair. From one window you have an unrestricted view of Edinburgh Castle, the iconic fortress that brings inquisitive travellers to the capital. From another, the port district of Leith, and the beaches Edinburgh is not necessarily famous for, but definitely should be. Though it’s not just about the views – the living room's curves, vintage photography and statement armchairs ensure a stay in style. Breakfasting below the huge, arched window in the sunlight is another big plus. Heading out, the New Town is on your doorstep and with it, the buzz of a city you'll never want to leave.

Sea And Planets

With the look of a stylish speakeasy, this cute red-hued studio won our hearts. We love the features here, such as the shuttered sash windows, the floral wallpaper and the chic prints and mirrors. Pour a glass of wine and relax on the plush armchairs. Or have a rest on the comfy bed in the bedroom with its navy wood panelling before heading out to explore in the late afternoon.

The location is fantastic. George Street and Princes Street are a one-minute walk, so that's shopping covered. For culture lovers, the Scottish National Gallery and Scottish Gallery of Modern Art are an eight-minute saunter, while the National Portrait Gallery and the Museum on the Mound are both an eleven-minute stroll. The iconic Edinburgh Castle, St Giles' Cathedral, St James Quarter and the Old Town are all a fifteen-minute or less walk from your door as well. There's an array of eateries and bars nearby too, so this place is the ideal bolthole for a couple, solo traveller or business person looking to be in the heart of the city's action. 


Little Red Corvette

Just over a twenty-minute walk from the heart and soul of the Old Town – Edinburgh Castle – the New Town has quite a different vibe. You’ll find Georgian architecture nearly everywhere you turn, and historic tenement buildings lining the streets as you head towards Canonmills. While these stone structures might look similar from the outside, we can guarantee you'll find eclectic homes within. This flat is no exception. The owner is a local artist, whose creative interior design choices are evident throughout. You’ll find her charming, abstract artwork on display in various rooms, as well as brightly-coloured walls, quirky tablecloth prints, antique furniture, and unique lamps on ornate cabinets. Our favourite spot has to be the lounge – this yellow room is full of character and old-world charm. Light up the fire and gather everyone round for a board game on a rainy day in this sumptuous space. Or at dusk, it could equally serve as a plush pad for an impromptu whisky-tasting session. While you sip on single malts, have the host arrange for a private chef to come over and handle dinner. You are on holiday after all.

An Seòmar Buidhe

There are an array of attractions within walking distance of this elegant Edinburgh townhouse, set over three floors. The Royal Botanic Garden is under ten minutes on foot, while the Scott Monument is just over fifteen minutes away. Edinburgh Castle, Johnnie Walker Princes Street and the Royal Mile are under a twenty-five-minute walk, as well. We have to say we love this home’s spacious living room with its character features and large sash windows. Another highlight is the bathrooms with their freestanding bathtubs. There’s a seating area in the dining room, too, which also has a log burner. This home is perfect for families or friends wanting easy access to all that this wonderful city has to offer.

The Castle Hill

Stylish and contemporary, this apartment is a haven located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Ideal for a solo traveller or a romantic getaway, this home is suave in all the right ways. After a busy day out exploring the city, enjoy a couple of drinks with your feet up on the plush sofas. On a clear night, the sunset through the floor-to-ceiling windows is soul warming. While you may want to sample the gastro scene on your doorstep, the contemporary kitchen will do nicely for a home-cooked meal. Pair it with a delicious bottle of wine as you settle down for dinner with your loved one to plan your next adventure in Scotland’s capital. After dinner, close your eyes in the bubble bath and feel your weary muscles relax into the heat. Settle down into your cosy bed and you’ll fall into a blissful night’s sleep effortlessly.

Located just a stone's throw away from the famous Royal Mile, the area is culturally vibrant and filled with entertainment. From history and architecture to independent shops and bars, there’s plenty to fill your days. After a day soaking up this stunning Scottish city, retreat to your hideaway and recount the memories you’ve made. 

The Golden Mile

Jacuzzi

Air Conditioning

Welcome Hamper

We’d normally start with the fantastic West End location, but let’s talk about this luxurious apartment first. There’s a stylish open-plan living space with a modern fireplace – the perfect place to relax after a busy day. The main highlight, though, is the opulent bathroom which provides a spa-like oasis with a Jacuzzi and walk-in shower. This home also has a front patio – ideal for a bit of fresh air. Now, what about the prestigious address? Well, many of the city's most iconic landmarks are within walking distance, such as Deans Village, Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Princes Street, and more.

Scottish Opulence

At the foot of the Royal Mile, just one minute from the national seat of power of the Scottish Parliament, this flat is every bit as majestic as its surroundings. Enjoy luxury right from the offset, as your host can arrange for a private transfer from the airport right to your door. Inside, while the decor is much more modern than the historic locale, the furnishings are supremely comfortable and stylish. Your open-plan living space has rich, brown wooden flooring and duck-egg blue kitchen cabinets – a beautiful colour scheme which is perfectly illuminated by bright windows and light fixtures. We love the idea of dining below the trendy, low-hanging lampshade next to the charcoal feature wall. And this isn’t your only dining option – how about an alfresco meal on your own balcony? Then round off the evening with a stroll around the residents' garden. In the morning, savour a hearty bowl of porridge to prepare for a big day ahead. As you’re just a six-minute walk from the edge of Holyrood Park, you’ve got an enormous green space to explore. You can even scale its extinct volcano, Arthur’s Seat, for sweeping views of Edinburgh and beyond.

Breakfast Included

Located on an iconic street serialised in Alexander McCall Smith’s beloved Scotland Street books, this beautiful Georgian apartment combines nineteenth-century elegance with luxury modern comforts. 
Tall corniced ceilings, wood floors and an abundance of light coming in through the sash windows create an instantly welcoming feel with chic, contemporary furnishings inviting you to make yourself at home. We love the living room’s large suede sofas that beckon relaxing evenings over a glass of wine by the period working fireplace, and the large kitchen bathed in natural light that’s ready to cater celebratory feasts aplenty. The three bedrooms, meanwhile, have each been carefully curated with a sophisticated touch and boast similarly large windows that give way to New Town views. We’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s en-suite – a spa-like space with its rainfall shower and tempting tub, the latter providing the perfect end to a night with a glass of bubbly. 
With ample entertainment options, plenty of children’s equipment on hand, as well as a lavish amount of space in which to socialise or spend some quiet time alone, this is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of their city stay.
Outside of your home, Calton Hill and its wide-sweeping views over Edinburgh is just a fifteen-minute walk away, as is Princes Street’s parade of shops. Edinburgh Castle is also easily walkable in twenty minutes, while charming Dean Village is twenty-five minutes away on foot. 


Bertie's Guide to Life

Directly across from the National Museum of Scotland, this swish little apartment puts you in Edinburgh’s beguiling Old Town. Once you’ve explored the collections of the museum on your doorstep, head to the Royal Mile which is a five-minute walk away and connects Edinburgh Castle with Holyrood Palace. There are loads of restaurants, pubs and whisky bars in the area to explore. 

This bijou apartment is a soothing medley of Scandi-chic interiors and old sash windows. Modern artworks pop against dove-grey walls and the kitchen has everything you need to knock up a quick meal. Big windows show off the regal exterior of the museum across the road and let plenty of natural light stream in.
