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.

Sitting within one of Edinburgh's many Georgian buildings, this loft apartment doesn't have the period features you might expect from the handsome exterior, but it's still easy on the eye nevertheless. Ideally, it could do with another bathroom, but that's nitpicking really. One thing we especially like is that the neighbourhood is a little more residential than the touristy centre, but you're still within walking distance of many of the city's attractions – the castle and old town are both around half an hour's walk, for instance.

Stay at this family-size home with sweeping views over Edinburgh if you're in the market for relaxing, stress-free getaways. It's a real crowd-pleaser, with stylish bedrooms, a charming living room and an open kitchen and dining area begging for group dinners.

Stepping inside, you'll find original features mixed with contemporary design for that added modern comfort – from the ornate fireplace to the sleek chef's kitchen, screened dining area and freestanding bathtub. The living room benefits from high ceilings and a bay window that bathes the space in natural sunlight, so you can kick back and relax after a day of sightseeing. 

When it's time to head out, it's well worth exploring the local area in sought-after Morningside. The high street offers a sprinkling of lovely cafes, indie shops, trendy boutiques and excellent eateries, while Blackford Hill, boasting picturesque views over the city, is just an eleven-minute walk from your door. Hop on a bus for adventures further afield – Edinburgh Castle is about a thirty-minute ride away.

This heritage listed home boasts impressive views across Blackford Hill. It’s also the ideal size for large groups looking to socialise, relax and savour quality time together. There are three reception areas, a games room and a sweet little orangery. Outside, you'll find a wonderful garden for summer days and there is private parking available for one car on the drive. Plus, it’s extremely well-connected with the nearest bus stop just a five-minute walk away – making it easy to explore central Edinburgh.

Nice to haves

Heaps of space, high ceilings and flooded with natural light – this Edinburgh pad is a delight to come home to. In truth, we don't think the current photographs do this Victorian-era property justice (we’re working on that). But if you can look past this, you’ll find a practical apartment perfectly suited to a working or family stay. Each double bedroom has a good-sized desk, and the dining kitchen has everything you need for family mealtimes. Set along a leafy residential street, this is the University of Edinburgh’s neck of the woods. You can walk to all the must-sees from here, including The Meadows, Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street, and the list goes on.

Spottiswoode Row

Rain Shower

Lift Access

Originally built in 1690, the building this home is set in served as a residence for the University of Edinburgh and as Red Cross Headquarters during WWII. Today, you'll find a modern and inviting private home, where you’ll be greeted by a colourful and characterful space – think white walls with original mouldings, vibrant candy-coloured rugs and beautiful prints hanging on the walls. There’s also a classic piano for evenings spent in the sociable dining room, gathered around a home-cooked feast with your own personal soundtrack and pretty views of the neighbourhood. The bedrooms are similarly styled, with lovely wall details and traditional fireplaces complemented by gold accents, antique mirrors and colourful carpets and throws. Get cosy and recharge before heading out into the picturesque heart of the city. You’ll be just a three-minute walk from the majestic Edinburgh Castle and five minutes from the historic Old Town. Spend lovely mornings strolling through the greenery at the Princess Street Gardens, just four minutes away before you get lost in the maze of the city.

University Place

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. 

Timorous Beastie

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.


The Goldmine

Cafetiere

Drying Rack

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.

Cosy and charming, this first-floor apartment boasts views of Edinburgh Castle. Alongside the historic panoramas, we love the sense of space here – three sumptuous bedrooms, a large kitchen, and a comfortable lounge provide ample room for family gatherings. There's even a small workspace if you're travelling on business. And, of course, the location is brilliant. You'll be a five-minute walk from buzzing Princes Street, while the Royal Mile and other Old Town attractions are just a bit further. Plan on driving? While no allocated parking is provided, a public car park is just across the street.

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

Desk / Workplace

The Royal Mile stretches from the hilly city centre, right down to the even larger hills of the Crags and Arthur’s Seat (Edinburgh’s very own extinct volcano). And just six minutes from the edge of this ancient parkland, this modern home is a rather delightful contrast. The interiors are very industrial, but you’ll still find little touches of luxury. We love the lighting fixtures in the lounge and bedrooms, a web of black cords and hanging bulbs which cast a soft glow. Matching this are black metal frames on the door, shower, and bed, as well as dining chairs in the living space. Overall, this flat has a warehouse vibe which feels minimalist yet cosy, ideal for coming home to after witnessing a city steeped in history. Wander uphill after your morning coffee and stop in for some brunch on the High Street, just seven minutes away. Keep on heading to the top of this iconic mile to reach Edinburgh Castle. At just a thirteen-minute walk from home, your descent should include a stop at a traditional pub for a dram of whisky or a pint.

Ancient Ascent

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

Monochrome style meets Edinburgh's history in this city centre apartment, nestled on one of the city's most famous streets; George Street. The flat pays tribute to city icons such as Sean Connery and Calton Hill with a coherent collection of black-and-white prints lining the living area's walls. Original feature fireplaces in the bedroom, a chandelier in the living room, and cornicing like icing on a cake hark back to the days when horse and carriage would clatter along the wide boulevard below. George Street has its own rich history, originally built as "the principal street" of the New Town. The neighbouring townhouses are architectural marvels. High-end boutiques and upscale restaurants have given these buildings a new purpose in the 21st century. With this apartment, the city's truly on your doorstep. Get out and explore. 

Sir Connery's Dome

Pod Coffee Machine

Found on a charming cobbled lane in the middle of Edinburgh's famous New Town, this apartment in a listed Georgian building has way more going for it other than its prime spot on the map. Inside, the palette of greys, blacks and dark wood give the interior the sort of character and warmth you envision from a home in the Scottish capital. Two large sash windows in the living space invite in natural light and there are several lavish touches in the interior design, from the ornate furnishings and the patterned wallpaper to the subway tile bathroom. There's a wide selection of restaurants to be found on the neighbouring Queen Street and George Street, while lots of the city's most famous attractions can be easily reached on foot — Edinburgh Castle takes just under a quarter of an hour, for instance.


A Sandstone Stay

Luxury Bedding

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

Laundry Supplies

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

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.

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.

What this Old Town studio lacks in space, it more than makes up for in location. Situated directly across from The National Museum of Scotland, only minutes from The Royal Mile, you're in the heart of Edinburgh's most historic neighbourhood here. History buffs will love climbing to the top of Edinburgh Castle (a ten-minute stroll), fashionistas can shop 'till they drop on Princes St (ten minutes on foot), while ramblers can enjoy a stroll through Salisbury Crags (walkable in half an hour). With cosy cafes, lively pubs, independent shops and mouthwatering eateries all on your doorstep, as far as locales go, you can't do much better.

Back at home, kick off your shoes and get comfortable in the light-filled living space. Inspired by refined Scandinavian style, the entire apartment is minimal, uncluttered and laid-back. Admire the museum views from the huge windows whilst sipping on local whiskey, then settle down for a chilled movie night on the sofa – the smart TV has plenty of streaming options. The bathroom is super sleek, with its underfloor heating and lavish rainfall shower, and the sumptuous bed will be calling your name after a long afternoon exploring. We think solo travellers or couples wanting a city break will love calling this flat home.

Upon the Mile

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.

Scottish Elegance

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.

Volcanic Vistas

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

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

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

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

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

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.

You'll feel right at home in this garden-level Victorian hideaway. From the tartan blankets to the antique furniture, it has a quintessentially Scottish design – yet it doesn't lack any contemporary touches. Outside, a wrap-around courtyard makes the perfect spot to gather in the sunshine with a glass of whisky. Indoors, you'll find a ping-pong table, board games, and a snug with Sky, Netflix, and Disney+ for quiet evenings at home. Princes Street is about a ten-minute stroll away, the Royal Mile is walkable in fifteen, and Dean Village is just down the road. All in all, we think it's a central and cosy stay in the heart of Edinburgh's West End.

Selkirk Grace

Jacuzzi

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

Situated right across the street from The National Museum, this stylish apartment is just around the corner from Edinburgh's most famous sights. Five minutes on foot will get you to Grassmarket and the Royal Mile, while Edinburgh Castle is about a ten-minute walk. It's a pretty excellent spot, made even better by the countless number of restaurants, bars, shops and pubs within easy reach. 

After a day spent sightseeing, come home to this light and inviting flat. Inspired by sleek, Scandinavian design, the interior is bright, roomy and uncluttered – ideal for relaxing after a long afternoon. Sprawl out on the sofa with your favourite show streaming on the smart TV (a glass of scotch, optional), then, come dinnertime, whip up something delicious in the kitchen – it has all the cookware you'll need. End the evening with a soak in the tub before snuggling up in the sumptuous bed for some well-deserved shut-eye. Sounds perfect to us.

Kilts & Cashmere

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. 

The Curator's Hideaway

Bike Shed

Balcony / Patio

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

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

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.

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

Soothing tones of amber and dark wood create an intimate and warm impression in this chic studio apartment. Housed in a beautifully preserved Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh’s New Town, there’s a touch of historic charm in its large sash windows and tall ceilings, with a decidedly modern touch in its sleek furnishings. We love how the kitchenette is cleverly concealed in a feature cabinet and the sunny positioning of the desk space to let you take in city views while working. The bed is decadently dressed in luxurious linens, while the pretty tiled bathroom’s rainfall shower will make waking up a pure delight. When you’re not hanging out in your sophisticated pad, go out and explore your surroundings. Queen Street Gardens is right across the street for morning ambles, Princes Street (a six-minute walk away) provides countless retail therapy options and Edinburgh Castle waits to be discovered just a twelve-minute stroll from your door. Don’t miss climbing to the top of Calton Hill, too, for dreamy sunset views over the city, a fourteen-minute walk away. 


Amber At Dawn

Playful and bold, this homey apartment has a lot going for it. It's packed with traditional Georgian features, yet there are plenty of modern updates that really make this place sing. The sleek kitchen has a stylish breakfast bar and is perfectly sized for rustling up meals, and there's no better spot to kick back and relax than the open living space. With its plush sofa, vibrant red accents and ornamental fireplace, there's an old-world parlour feel to this room that we find utterly charming. Cosy and contemporary, you'll love coming home to this apartment after a day out and about. Located just off Queen Street, this part of town is where you'll find lovely cafes, trendy bars and delicious restaurants. It's not far from Waverly Station – about an eight-minute walk – and both picturesque Old Town and Edinburgh Castle are about fifteen minutes away. 

Red Yarn

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.
