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).

Home truths

    The apartment is a duplex spread over two floors, with no internal lift

    Guests five and six would be on a sofa bed in the living room

    Since the photoshoot, a king bed has been added to the second bedroom, and the exercise bike has been removed

    We think this home is best suited to six guests, however, guests seven and eight could be in the double bed on he mezzanine in the second bedroom, ideal for teenagers or agile adults (there are ladders up to it)

About Hillside

Edinburgh is a city built around seven hills, but Hillside is not as steep as the name suggests.
