The best house in Edinburgh
This house was so clean and spacious. Every floor is thoughtful with a guest in mind. The beds are super comfortable and the neighborhood is not only quiet but so close to where you want to be. This is the perfect place to stay and we will definitely be requesting it upon our return to Edinburgh!

The perfect spon in Edinburgh
My family and I stayed in this wonderful home from which we explored Edinburgh and other areas. It's a beautiful home, well equipped, and everyone enjoyed having their own room. The owners were very responsive. I definitely recommend staying here when you're on travel.

Top notch holiday accommodation
This Edinburgh property is probably the best holiday home I've ever stayed in. Set over four floors, it was spacious for three adults and three children. Two living rooms, big kitchen and dining room. Large bedrooms with ensuites. And what a view out to Albert's Seat! Centrally located - we walked into town past Holyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament and up the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle in an easy stroll. Free off-street parking too. It really is a lovely, well appointed property. Surpassed my expectations. Many thanks Mike and Cheryl!

Amazing time
We absolutely loved our stay in Edinburgh and look forward to coming back. This home was the perfect place to explore everything the city has to offer. The only challenge was that we liked the place so much we didn’t want to leave.

A wonderful place to stay, cosy, clean and ideally located
The property was perfect for our group, with wonderful views, a large kitchen, several cosy rooms and salon, easy access to the city center, with a taste of country side. The owners are very well organised to facilitate the stay. A great place to enjoy a great city.
