Nestled between two leafy parks, you'll have both The Meadows and Holyrood park at your fingertips here. Offering a tranquil retreat from the city for a large family or group of friends – enjoy a relaxing stay without compromising on location. Classically designed, the interiors provide both comfort and practicality through high-quality finishings. Golden accents on the mirrors and chandeliers add a touch of splendour, while the traditional styling in the living room creates a sophisticated space with character. Stationed in a central, vibrant area of the city and within twenty minutes walking distance from Edinburgh Castle and Old Town, you'll pass an array of beautiful boutiques, bookshops, bars and cafes along the way. A great spot to gather your group and enjoy all that Edinburgh has to offer and a perfect base for those attending the annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
