Nice to haves

Located on an iconic street serialised in Alexander McCall Smith’s beloved Scotland Street books, this beautiful Georgian apartment combines nineteenth-century elegance with luxury modern comforts. 
Tall corniced ceilings, wood floors and an abundance of light coming in through the sash windows create an instantly welcoming feel with chic, contemporary furnishings inviting you to make yourself at home. We love the living room’s large suede sofas that beckon relaxing evenings over a glass of wine by the period working fireplace, and the large kitchen bathed in natural light that’s ready to cater celebratory feasts aplenty. The three bedrooms, meanwhile, have each been carefully curated with a sophisticated touch and boast similarly large windows that give way to New Town views. We’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s en-suite – a spa-like space with its rainfall shower and tempting tub, the latter providing the perfect end to a night with a glass of bubbly. 
With ample entertainment options, plenty of children’s equipment on hand, as well as a lavish amount of space in which to socialise or spend some quiet time alone, this is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of their city stay.
Outside of your home, Calton Hill and its wide-sweeping views over Edinburgh is just a fifteen-minute walk away, as is Princes Street’s parade of shops. Edinburgh Castle is also easily walkable in twenty minutes, while charming Dean Village is twenty-five minutes away on foot.

Located in Edinburgh’s New Town, this apartment is an ideal base for those keen to stay in the heart of the city. Restaurants, cafes and bars are on the doorstep, and you’re no more than a fifteen-minute walk from Princess Street and the Royal Mile. The sash windows let in plenty of natural light, and the kitchen has everything you need for rustling up a full Scottish breakfast. Just so you’re aware, the third bedroom is on the smaller side, so it may be better suited for children.

Panoramic vistas of Charlotte Square, the West End, and Dean Village steal the show at this characterful apartment set in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town. We love the sense of space this Georgian home delivers. Each elegant bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and king-sized bed. There's a made-for-action dining kitchen for lazy brunches. And wait until you see the views from the charming window seat in the separate living room. The private parking will make arriving a cinch, and all the city's hotspots, including the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and Dean Village are within easy walking distance. Now, how's that for a location?

Artistic City Haven

Cooking Essentials

At the foot of the Royal Mile, just a five-minute stroll away from Holyrood Palace, you'll find this slick apartment that's perfectly set up for city living. It's a modern space – contrasting with the winding, historic streets outside – where you can settle down on the buttery soft leather sofa and enjoy a nip of whisky between your adventures. The smart grey sideboard opens up to reveal a small kitchen, ideal for preparing a quick bowl of porridge before heading out, and your hosts are on hand to provide hotel-level services during your stay. A wander up the Royal Mile will lead you to imposing Edinburgh Castle in just over ten minutes, where you can walk in the footsteps of Scotland's ancient kings and queens. Or, take a hike up nearby Arthur's Seat for the very best views over the city – you won't be disappointed.

Situated in Edinburgh's charming New Town, just a hop, skip and a jump away from Princes Street, this Georgian apartment is absolutely breathtaking. If you're anything like us, you'll be swooning over the sky-high ceilings, enormous sash windows and oodles of period features. When married with the bright living spaces and contemporary touches like the BOSE Bluetooth mini sound system, Miele appliances and underfloor heating, this whole place is a showstopper.  

Just picture yourself sprawled out on the velvet sofa in front of the crackling fire, a glass of scotch in hand. Come dinnertime, pad over to the chef's-worthy kitchen and rustle up a delicious, hearty spread to share around the large oak table – alongside a bottle of Scotland's finest whiskey, of course. After supper, unwind with an engrossing book from the host's small library, play a game of backgammon around the coffee table or enjoy a soak in the lavish bathtub before snuggling up for a blissful night's sleep in the sumptuous beds.

When you're ready to explore, you couldn't ask for a better place to be. Not only is New Town famous for its Michelin-starred restaurants, cool cafes and excellent shopping – all practically on your doorstep – but you're also within easy reach of medieval Old Town (a seventeen-minute walk), historic Edinburgh Castle (fourteen minutes on foot) and the city-wide views atop Calton Hill (walkable in fifteen). Plus, you'll have access to the residents-only Queen Street Gardens – perfect for picnics in the sunshine.

Georgian Oak

What a fantastic location this stylish apartment has in Edinburgh's Old Town. It's just a five-minute walk from the stunning Palace of Holyroodhouse, while the Royal Mile is a ten-minute stroll away. The city's most famous landmark, Edinburgh Castle, is under twenty minutes on foot if you want to take some snaps of this icon. Back at this industrial-inspired home, there's everything you need to feel comfortable during your stay. We love the spider chandelier, modern prints and monochrome wallpaper here. Plan your days from the comfy sofa or enjoy a takeaway at the dining table if you don't fancy eating out. This home is perfect for a group of friends or a family looking to be within walking distance of many of Edinburgh's wonderful sights.

Royal Walk

Housed in a former brewery from the 1800s, this cool home nods to its past while dazzling with modern comforts and contemporary style. A monochrome palette gives it a sleek look, with wood and leather accents giving it a characterful industrial edge. We love the Crittall doors in the living room that lead to a beautifully dressed bed, behind which a sketch-style mural hints at the home’s heritage. When you’re not kicking back on the sofa with a cold beer, catching up on work at the desk or enjoying luxurious soaks under the rainfall shower, go out and explore your surroundings. Your Old Town neighbourhood is full of narrow alleys where museums, shops and restaurants all vie for your attention, while Calton Hill (a ten-minute walk away) offers impressive views over the entire city. With the Royal Mile a seven-minute stroll away and Edinburgh Castle reachable in thirteen minutes on foot, you couldn’t be better placed to experience the best that the city has to offer.


Cask & Keg

The Royal Mile is probably the most famous street in Edinburgh, if not the whole of Scotland, and this apartment is situated right on the iconic thoroughfare. It's a sleek, modern home, in contrast with the ancient, cobbled streets outside – making it the ideal spot to kick your feet up and relax when you're not busy exploring the capital. You'll love waking up in one of the stylish bedrooms and making some porridge in the kitchenette, which can be cleverly hidden away behind doors when you're not using it. Stroll up the Royal Mile for just over ten minutes to arrive at breathtaking Edinburgh Castle, where you can learn about the tumultuous history of Scotland's kings and queens. Or, take a hike up nearby Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano that offers incredible vistas over the city to the hills beyond. After all that excitement, you'll be glad to come home and admire the view of Calton Hill from the comfy sofa as you sip on some Scottish whisky – sláinte!

Enjoy leisurely strolls around Holyrood Park in the mornings (five minutes on foot), climbing to the top of Arthur's Seat for stunning views across the city. When you're not out exploring, this cosy apartment has vistas of its own – as you nibble on breakfast or tuck into a home-cooked meal at the dining table, you can spot Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags in the distance. This building sits on the site of former gardens, and the hosts capture that traditional Scottish feeling in the design – think tartan pillows, leather chesterfield sofas and art on the walls showing off Edinburgh’s famous sights. It's warm and welcoming, the perfect place to rest your feet and relax. Play some tunes on the Bose speaker or unwind with a movie night – there's a collection of DVDs for you to peruse as well as NowTV – before snuggling up in the sumptuous beds.
