What a wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh! It was so spacious, light, VERY clean, and well stocked! This was our family’s favorite accommodation during our UK trip, and my teen/tween daughters kept raving about how nice it was. We appreciated the many bedrooms and bathrooms and space to spread out. We had one of the bedrooms upstairs set up with two twin beds, instead of a king, which worked well for kids sharing the room. The beds and pillows were comfortable. We enjoyed family movie nights in the spacious main floor living room. The kitchen and bathrooms were great and so clean. We were there during warm days in July, but we opened the windows a while in the evening to cool things off, which worked well. We appreciated the room darkening shades on the windows, since it is so light in the summer. And little touches, like phone chargers on the night stands, hand lotion in the bathrooms, and a welcome hamper with some goodies, made it feel very welcoming and well thought out. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!The location was terrific, on a quiet street, but not far from shops, restaurants, and all the sights. I would much prefer staying here in New Town to the busyness of the Royal Mile area. It was about a 15-minute walk to both the train station and the top of the Royal Mile. There are so many restaurants on nearby Rose Street. We loved our dinners at The Ginger Coo Cafe and Bistronomy 176 especially. My daughters did a lot of shopping on Princes Street as well.

Wonderful stay
The property is just as described. Very clean and beautiful! The location can’t be beat as it is a short walk to the city with many restaurants, shops, and the stunning Edinburgh Castle.
We only stayed two nights, but wish it had been longer as we loved the city and the accommodation.
The property manager, Christine, is quick to answer any questions and the hamper of goodies was a delight!

Great Location
The location is a 15 minute walk from Waverly bridge drop off for airport bus and 25 minutes to the castle. Neighborhood was safe with almost zero nighttime noise. Multiple levels so if you have someone with mobility issues you probably should move on. Liked having 2 master suites, lots of room to spread out over the 3 levels. Communication with host was great and welcome basket a nice touch. Washer and Dryer are two separate units..... so appreciated and much more efficient than the combo units we experienced elsewhere. Loads of restaurants within 5 minutes. Would stay here again!

Fantastic Townhouse in central Edinburgh
We were on holiday as a family of seven adults. We loved how central the property was to everything, nothing was more than a 15-20 minute walk. The house itself is beautifully decorated and furnished and we loved the layout with the kitchen on the first floor. It was the hub of the place! Everything we needed was supplied and we appreciated the goodies left for us too! We found the street to be very quiet and right off George Street too. Would definitely come back again.

Large property with plenty of beds. Very clean and modern, with all amenities needed, including washer and dryer. Really appreciated the goodie basket when we arrived. Location is perfect in Newtown, walkable to everywhere in Edinburgh. Quiet street although the seagulls are bonkers at 3-5 AM when they see the sun rise. Convenient to both Cambridge Bar and Oxford Bar.
We would totally stay here again and we adore Edinburgh.
