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.

About New Town

Edinburgh’s New Town isn’t new at all – it’s a glorious example of 18th-century Georgian town planning and architecture that has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage Status. There’s a lot more than beautiful architecture on offer here though. Located in the centre of the city, it’s a short walk from Waverley Station, and well serviced by public transport. Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew’s Square, and the West End...
