This apartment is all about the location for us. Set in the New Town of Edinburgh, many of the city’s key attractions are within walking distance, making it a perfect base for those keen to drop off their bags and head out to explore. Ideally suited to a couple, this fuss-free home has everything needed for a comfortable stay and eateries and shops on its doorstep. Just bear in mind that there’s no lift here, so you’ll need to be able to navigate some stairs to reach this lower ground-floor level home. 

Central Haven

Located in Edinburgh's New Town, this contemporary studio space puts you in the heart of the city, meaning you'll be just a stone's throw away from the sought-after eating, drinking and shopping opportunities. Sumptuous yet modern designs in a deep red and purple colour palette, velvet textures, and stylish finishing touches invite guests to enjoy peace and quiet between soaking up the city. 

With space to whip up your own breakfasts and tuck into some local delicacies or a spot of afternoon tea - staying here gives you the choice of eating in or heading out to explore all that's on offer in the fabulous city of Edinburgh. When you're not indulging in good food and drink, the city's historical sights, including Edinburgh Castle and Scottish National Portrait Gallery, can be found only a twelve-minute walk away. 

Heritage Red Velvet 

Step into history at this charming Edinburgh apartment, built in 1890 and boasting over 120 years of character. As expected with a Victorian building, it is showing some signs of wear, so please take extra care when climbing the stairs to reach this second-floor pad. Whether you're a solo traveller or a duo seeking an Edinburgh base, this apartment offers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. The location puts you just a short walk away from Calton Hill, Princes Street, and Waverley Station. While public transport is easily accessible, the city is easily explored on foot, with charming cobblestone streets awaiting your discovery.

Tartan & Stone

Edinburgh’s New Town has a slightly misleading name – rather than glossy, modern blocks, this district is purely home to gorgeous Georgian architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries. This flat is no exception. An eight-minute walk to the lush green hills of Princes Street Gardens (whose steep banks are still standing from when this was a loch in the 1400s), you’ll be able to enjoy both natural and urban delights. Among streets of cafés, bakeries, and independent shops, your home has a welcoming bright-blue door to beckon you inside. Its hallway offers an incredibly stylish way to enter – ornate floor tiles and arches, gilded cornicing, and an antique sideboard set the tone for what’s to come inside. Your living space is bright, airy, and sophisticated. With a unique black marble fireplace and two huge, original sash windows, it has a regal feel with an understated elegance. Rich wooden features can be found throughout, bringing a warmth to chilly Scottish evenings. When you’re not out tasting drams of whisky in the local pubs, take in some culture with a visit to the National Portrait Gallery, seven minutes from home.

Nor Loch

If you're a couple, solo traveller or business professional looking to be within walking distance of the majority of Edinburgh's main attractions, then this chic studio is perfect. George Street and Princes Street are a one-minute stroll away, while Edinburgh International Conference Centre is just a three-minute saunter, and the University of Edinburgh, the Old Town and the Royal Mile are all under a twenty-five-minute walk. For culture lovers, the Scottish National Gallery and Scottish Gallery of Modern Art are eight minutes on foot, while the National Portrait Gallery and the Museum on the Mound are both an eleven-minute wander. No trip to the city would be complete without seeing Edinburgh Castle – it's a twelve-minute walk, and St Giles' Cathedral and the St James Quarter shopping centre are all within a fifteen-minute walk too.

After a busy day, head back to this studio housed in a grand period building. We love the use of colour here, the rich blue tones give this home a sophisticated vibe, and the character features, such as the shutters and wood panelling, are delightful. Pour a glass of whiskey and take the weight off your feet with a rest on the comfy armchair or admire the city views. When it's time for bed, the bedroom area lies beyond the kitchen behind more painted panelling – get a good night’s sleep ready to start a new fun packed day in this vibrant city.

Edinburgh Blue

Nestled in Edinburgh's New Town, this modern studio space puts you in the heart of the city's sought-after eating, drinking and shopping opportunities – not to mention the likes of sights such as the Edinburgh Castle and Scottish National Portrait Gallery. 

With contemporary designs and an open layout, each corner of the studio showcases a separate function. You'll find a little dining area and kitchenette here, too, meaning if you prefer not to whip up your own breakfasts in the morning or settle in for a cosy evening at home – you won't have to go out into the city if you prefer not to. And the chic modern bathroom will allow you to indulge in pamper sessions and that all-important "me time" between atmospheric days and nights out in the city. 







New Town Glory 

Small but perfectly formed, this apartment is a great base in Edinburgh’s New Town. It’s just an eight-minute walk to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and Princes Street Gardens are only thirteen minutes away. There are countless bars, cafes and eateries within walking distance, too. The open-plan living and dining space is compact but attractive, and you also have the bonus of a garden to spread out in. The free-standing bathtub is another treat, perfect if you’ve spent the day sightseeing and need to rest your feet.  

The New Town Gem

It's quite fitting that this elegant studio apartment with its beautiful painted mural is close to the Scottish National Gallery and Scottish Gallery of Modern Art (both are an eight-minute stroll away). There's more culture to be had at the National Portrait Gallery and the Museum on the Mound, eleven minutes on foot. Edinburgh Castle, St James Quarter, the Scott Monument, and St Giles' Cathedral are all within a fifteen-minute or less wander too. Edinburgh International Conference Centre, on the other hand, is just a three-minute walk, and the University of Edinburgh, the Old Town and the Royal Mile are all under a twenty-five-minute amble, while there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby for refreshments.

After a busy day of sightseeing, take a seat on one of the comfy chairs and admire the artwork with a wee dram. Or get some rest in the bedroom with its dramatic dark navy-hued wood panelling. We love the character features in this apartment, such as the high ceilings, cornices, sash windows and shutters. After you've put your feet up for a while, get ready in the bathroom with its terrazzo-effect tiling and head to bed or if you're anything like us, sample the restaurants and bars – well, they're close by, and it would be rude not to.



Painting Box

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

Boasting a stylish, chic interior and a fabulous location in the heart of Edinburgh's bustling New Town area, we think this fashionable studio apartment provides you with the perfect base from which to experience the very best of this great Scottish city. 

Offering comfort and all the amenities you could need for a short stay, you'll find yourself within easy reach of the city's most iconic sights and attractions, such as the amazing Edinburgh Castle and the fascinating Scottish National Portrait Gallery where you can while away an hour or two soaking up some culture. Then there's the wealth of shopping opportunities, artisanal cafes, lively bars, traditional pubs, and an impressive array of world-class restaurants.

After a day of exploration, return to the warm embrace of this bold, unique apartment, where you can unwind in the inviting living area and watch the world go by along Castle street below, cook up tasty treats in the kitchen, or get ready to head back out for a taste of the vibrant local nightlife. Either way, we know how we'd round off our day – with a glass of Scottish whiskey and a toast to this wonderful city.

Contemporary Castle Street

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

The fact that you can see Edinburgh Castle out of the window of this apartment gives you an idea of just how good the location is. However, this prime spot in the New Town isn't the only thing we like about the home.

Granted, it's what is sometimes euphemistically referred to as 'compact' with a kitchenette that's only really suitable for modest meals, but that's not necessarily a problem if you're not planning on using it as much more than a base camp from which to explore the Scottish capital. The colour scheme is warm and cosy, while the sleek bathroom is easy on the eye. You're treated to lots of natural light from the big bay window and there are enough comfy furnishings for a couple or solo traveller to be content.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the city, you're covered for restaurants and bars in the surrounding New Town, while many of the must-see attractions are easily reachable on foot – the Scottish National Gallery is about ten minutes' walk away and the Old Town is another five minutes on top of that.
