Tucked away in the laid-back neighbourhood of Corstorphine, this stylish home provides a tranquil base for exploring the Scottish capital. We love its convenient location, surrounded by public transport links and just a ten-minute drive from the bustling city centre and Edinburgh Airport. Though with Edinburgh Zoo and Corstorphine Hill Nature Reserve a short walk away, you're also in a prime spot for exploring the area's natural beauty. We love the open-plan living space, where plush leather sofas, fluffy rugs and vintage accents harmonise with the sleek fixtures of the fully-fitted kitchen and dining space. The bedrooms are just as lavish, with soft carpeted floors and cosy textiles ensuring a restful slumber, even on the chilliest of nights. Though the real treat is the ample private balconies, offering breathtaking views of Carrick Knowe golf course, the Pentland Hills and the Edinburgh Skyline. Spend mornings perched here, sipping on coffee before slipping out to explore.

Local guide
About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a Jekyll and Hyde city. By day you can stroll the wide, leafy boulevards of the Georgian New Town, home to fine dining restaurants, art galleries and trendy coffee shops. By night, a dark past of grave-robbery, underground streets and witchcraft flickers to life in the Old Town as ghost walks wend their way down narrow snickleways. The Royal Mile cuts the city in half like a river,...

This home is managed by Oliver
