You’ll be greeted by a large open-plan living and dining area – we love the sophisticated ambience of this pad, with a stylish lounge area offering a comfy sofa and armchairs.

Later, head over to the comfy bedrooms for a night of sweet dreams – you’ll have a choice of two equally plush rooms here. Factor in the sleek bathrooms, including one with a bathtub, and you'll have everything needed for a restful stay.

At the end of your jam-packed day, retreat to your homespun apartment for a relaxing evening with your loved ones.

Indulge in a stylish stay on George Street, one of Edinburgh's most well-known streets and home to famous bars and restaurants including The Dome, The Ivy, Dishoom and the Cafe Royal. Bay windows have views of the castle, the Firth of Forth and, of course, the timeless Georgian architecture right outside your door. Cook up neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes, for the uninitiated) in the large kitchen corner, which comes with everything you need, hidden behind sleek, white cupboard doors. Serve up at the table in the sunny bay window with a view straight to the castle. After a tough hike up Arthur's Seat, freshen up using the Bulgari toiletries in the bathroom and sink into your sumptuous tufted bed. Just note it's about 90 steps to reach this apartment, so we suggest packing light.

Nice to haves

Just over a twenty-minute walk from the heart and soul of the Old Town – Edinburgh Castle – the New Town has quite a different vibe. You’ll find Georgian architecture nearly everywhere you turn, and historic tenement buildings lining the streets as you head towards Canonmills. While these stone structures might look similar from the outside, we can guarantee you'll find eclectic homes within. This flat is no exception. The owner is a local artist, whose creative interior design choices are evident throughout. You’ll find her charming, abstract artwork on display in various rooms, as well as brightly-coloured walls, quirky tablecloth prints, antique furniture, and unique lamps on ornate cabinets. Our favourite spot has to be the lounge – this yellow room is full of character and old-world charm. Light up the fire and gather everyone round for a board game on a rainy day in this sumptuous space. Or at dusk, it could equally serve as a plush pad for an impromptu whisky-tasting session. While you sip on single malts, have the host arrange for a private chef to come over and handle dinner. You are on holiday after all.

Desk / Workplace

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. 

A Wee Dram

Experience a stay like no other at this cosy Gothic castle, part of an unfinished design for Edinburgh’s first observatory. At the top of Calton Hill, you'll have some truly breathtaking views from this historical home. The National Gallery is next door and the rest of the city is a short walk away, easily making up for the lack of parking. It should be noted that the home's standout location does attract a number of tourists, so if you're looking for some peace and privacy it might not be for you. That said, the main bedroom enjoys an en-suite with a luxurious standalone bathtub, and there's outdoor seating to make the most of this stunning location.

Paid Parking On Street

Parking Available

Grab your own cosy nook right on the Royal Mile – Edinburgh's main artery, ending at the castle. Moments away, you'll find whisky bars serving over 200 different drams, fully kilted pipers, and – in August, anyway – the magical chaos of the Edinburgh Festival. This apartment offers brief respite from all that, kitted out with a flat-screen TV for binge-watching, a generous kitchen corner for preparing tipsy laird pudding and a squishy red leather sofa to eat it on. Downstairs is the famous World's End pub – grab a pint and people-watch for a while. 

Timorous Beastie

Extra Pillows and Blankets

Located above bustling George Street, you'll find boutique shops, charming cafes and gorgeous Victorian architecture right on your doorstep. This area is a popular spot with locals, students and tourists alike, as there are plenty of excellent restaurants and trendy bars to while away the evenings in. Edinburgh Castle, a twelfth-century fortress, is only a ten-minute walk away and offers some beautiful views over the city, while historic Old Town is reachable in fifteen minutes. Back at home, this apartment marries modern living with timeless elegance. Curl up on chilly nights in front of the electric fire, rustle up a delicious meal in the sleek kitchen or lounge on the sofa with a glass of scotch and your favourite shows playing on the TV. This home is stylish, sophisticated and minimal, making it the perfect place to rest your feet after a day spent wandering down Edinburgh's cobbled streets.

With the New Town’s shops and restaurants on your doorstep and many of Edinburgh’s most famous sights within walking distance, there’s no end to the entertainment available around this stylish home. Housed in a beautifully preserved Georgian townhouse, there’s a definite feeling of natural calm in this apartment with its dark green sofa, pale wood floors and chic modern furnishings. Open up the door in the living room and master bedroom to step out onto a peaceful private courtyard framed by stone walls, where a table and chairs invite sunny breakfasts and evening drinks beneath the moon. We love the clever use of cabinetry that’s been used for the bespoke kitchenette and the master bedroom’s chic vanity desk that will make getting ready for a night out on the town a treat. History buffs will be happy that they're just a twelve-minute walk away from Edinburgh Castle while Calton Hill, with its incomparable city views, is a fourteen-minute stroll from your front door.

Parking On Street

Paid Parking On Premises

Located on a typically quaint street in Edinburgh's New Town, this apartment is in a great location, only a short walk away from the sights of Old Town, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and a huge range of cafes and shops to explore in the local area. The interior of this home feels homely and relaxed, sporting an earthy colour palette and high-quality soft furnishings. The mix of Georgian features and rustic vibes — tartan throws will never not be cosy in our eyes — work well with the natural light that pours in from the large windows and creates a great sense of space. The cherry on the cake is the spacious and dazzlingly white bathrooms, complete with a free-standing bathtub that's just the ticket for a long, restorative soak.

Breakfast Included

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. 


Bertie's Guide to Life

Nestled in the New Town, this stylish apartment grants you easy access to the city's best sights. Feel like staying beside Princes Street, just a thirteen-minute stroll from Edinburgh Castle? You'll have to take the stairs to reach the second floor, but we love how the high ceilings and large-scale windows create a roomy retreat indoors. Perfect for romantic getaways, the main suite offers a freestanding bathtub for post-adventure relaxation. Bedroom two welcomes a third guest, plus kid-friendly travel equipment is available to families. 

Elegant Retreat

Steeped in traditional charm and gleaming with grandeur, this charming apartment could easily play holiday home to the Royal Family – and thanks to its prestigious Ramsay Garden location, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy Edinburgh's innumerable sights and sounds on foot. From the famous Royal Mile to the fortress of Edinburgh Castle, one thing's for absolutely certain – you'll never be short of things to see and do.

The home itself is a splendourful hub flush with all things luxurious. Beautiful antique furnishings add character, meanwhile the peppering of gold–framed artworks sprinkle an extra dusting of splendour. The colour scheme is a medley or warm reds and rich browns and in the master bathroom, traditional black and white floor tiles instantly draw the eye. We particularly love the living area with its brown leather chaise sofa and Persian rug. Complete with an ancient fireplace at its heart, there's also a circular alcove and desk to one side, and a flatscreen television. Quite frankly, we couldn't think of a more elegant spot to watch a movie!

This home will leave you feeling like lord of the manor, but as tempting as it may be to stay within the walls of your royal headquarters, with so much to explore – and all within easy reach – be sure to peel yourself away from your plush pad and traverse.


The Goldmine

Towards the east end of Edinburgh’s city centre, the architecture style starts to move away from the gothic spires of the Old Town. This home certainly isn’t far from historic landmarks, about half a mile from iconic views on Calton Hill as well as theatrical scenes at the Edinburgh Playhouse, but its character is distinctly more modern.

Set in a quiet lane that's surprisingly close to the bustling restaurants and bars of London Road and Elm Row, this three-storey townhouse appears more like a cottage from the outside. Honey-coloured stonework and a cobbled street out front make this quaint, mews-like street feel more traditional than what you’ll find inside. 

Its layout is really quite special. At the heart of the home on the first floor, which you’ll ascend via wooden spiral staircase, we love the Scandinavian minimalist look. Huge skylights and high ceilings stretch all the way up to the mezzanine bedroom, with sloped walls and glass-panelled banisters creating a truly unique shape to the space. But there are still nods to Scottish tradition. Cosy up in the tartan blanket on the sofa where a painting of a highland cow looks on – anyone for a wee dram?

Skies Above

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

Offering a simple, fuss-free interior with a compact but well-equipped kitchen for when you fancy a home-cooked meal, this fourth-floor apartment in Edinburgh really caught our eye because of its fantastic location. Step out of the building straight onto the Royal Mile in the capital’s historic Old Town, a short stroll from Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. If your trip is centred around some Scottish sightseeing, this home drops you in the heart of the action – fans of the Edinburgh Fringe, it’s perfectly placed for you, too. 

Old Town Heart

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

Heated Towel Rail

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.

Contemporary Castle Street

This top floor apartment on historic George Street has the best seat in the house, and we're not just talking about the cow print armchair. From one window you have an unrestricted view of Edinburgh Castle, the iconic fortress that brings inquisitive travellers to the capital. From another, the port district of Leith, and the beaches Edinburgh is not necessarily famous for, but definitely should be. Though it’s not just about the views – the living room's curves, vintage photography and statement armchairs ensure a stay in style. Breakfasting below the huge, arched window in the sunlight is another big plus. Heading out, the New Town is on your doorstep and with it, the buzz of a city you'll never want to leave.

Sea And Planets

As elegant as it is comfortable, this stunning apartment in Edinburgh’s New Town has a definite touch of ballroom beauty to it. With its tall corniced ceilings, large sash windows and cobalt blue walls, you’ll instantly feel the home’s Georgian past with stylish modern furnishings giving it a good dose of modern flair. You’ll love kicking back on the sofa with a glass of wine while taking in your pad’s original features and sitting down to breakfasts at the sunny window-side table. The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as sophisticated with its uncluttered decor allowing its largesse to impress. We love the bay window seats here, perfect for catching up on some morning reading, and the bright desk area that will make working from home a treat. When you’re not relaxing in your chic apartment, go out and explore your surroundings. Shop along Princes Street (a six-minute walk away), stroll through Queen Street Gardens (two minutes) and visit Edinburgh Castle (twelve minutes). Calton Hill with its unparalleled Edinburgh views is also just a fourteen-minute walk from your door. 


Invitation To The Ball

The Royal Mile stretches from the hilly city centre, right down to the even larger hills of the Crags and Arthur’s Seat (Edinburgh’s very own extinct volcano). And just six minutes from the edge of this ancient parkland, this modern home is a rather delightful contrast. The interiors are very industrial, but you’ll still find little touches of luxury. We love the lighting fixtures in the lounge and bedrooms, a web of black cords and hanging bulbs which cast a soft glow. Matching this are black metal frames on the door, shower, and bed, as well as dining chairs in the living space. Overall, this flat has a warehouse vibe which feels minimalist yet cosy, ideal for coming home to after witnessing a city steeped in history. Wander uphill after your morning coffee and stop in for some brunch on the High Street, just seven minutes away. Keep on heading to the top of this iconic mile to reach Edinburgh Castle. At just a thirteen-minute walk from home, your descent should include a stop at a traditional pub for a dram of whisky or a pint.

Ancient Ascent

Laundry Supplies

At the eastern end of the famous Royal Mile, you’ll find this modern apartment taking residence in an old brewery. Drawing inspiration from its industrial origins, exposed bulbs, Crittall-style doors, robust furniture and dramatic black accents pack heaps of character into the space. The living area has been impeccably curated to ensure guests have enough room to entertain or relax. The bespoke kitchenette is stylish and functional. Put together a light breakfast in the morning accompanied by locally sourced zero-waste coffee, provided by your host. Once you’re fuelled up and ready to go, step out into your Old Town neighbourhood. You’re two doors down from the Museum of Edinburgh, a five-minute walk to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and a fifteen-minute mosey to the ancient Edinburgh Castle.

Burnt Copper

Nestled in Edinburgh's New Town, this modern studio space puts you in the heart of the city's sought-after eating, drinking and shopping opportunities – not to mention the likes of sights such as the Edinburgh Castle and Scottish National Portrait Gallery. 

With contemporary designs and an open layout, each corner of the studio showcases a separate function. You'll find a little dining area and kitchenette here, too, meaning if you prefer not to whip up your own breakfasts in the morning or settle in for a cosy evening at home – you won't have to go out into the city if you prefer not to. And the chic modern bathroom will allow you to indulge in pamper sessions and that all-important "me time" between atmospheric days and nights out in the city. 







New Town Glory 

Take in the wonderful views over the Royal Mile towards Arthur's Seat from inside this charming apartment, housed in a traditional Old Town building. We love the character features here, such as the sash windows and exposed stone walls. This home is perfect for a couple or a solo traveller wanting to easily explore Edinburgh on foot.

The location is fabulous – situated near the top of the Royal Mile, it's just over a five-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle. It's the same walking distance to The Scotch Whisky Experience, where you can discover the history of Scotland's national drink. Just over a fifteen-minute stroll, on the other hand, will take you to the Scottish Parliament building and the majestic Palace of Holyroodhouse. There's so much on your doorstep you'll need to book another stay to fit it all in.


A Royal View

Found on a charming cobbled lane in the middle of Edinburgh's famous New Town, this apartment in a listed Georgian building has way more going for it other than its prime spot on the map. Inside, the palette of greys, blacks and dark wood give the interior the sort of character and warmth you envision from a home in the Scottish capital. Two large sash windows in the living space invite in natural light and there are several lavish touches in the interior design, from the ornate furnishings and the patterned wallpaper to the subway tile bathroom. There's a wide selection of restaurants to be found on the neighbouring Queen Street and George Street, while lots of the city's most famous attractions can be easily reached on foot — Edinburgh Castle takes just under a quarter of an hour, for instance.


A Sandstone Stay

Steeped in history – with the mediaeval architecture to prove it – Edinburgh is a hub of culture, old meets new, and this Georgian townhouse in New Town puts you within easy walking distance of experiencing it all. Explore the neighbourhood right on your doorstep by shopping the famous Princess Street, around a twelve-minute walk away. Visit art galleries, sit down for drinks at atmospheric cocktail bars, take photos, and then head to Old Town to compare notes. 

Once there, wander between century-old buildings as you traverse the network of narrow alleyways with the Edinburgh Castle looming over you. Once you’ve visited the giant crown jewel of Scotland, don’t forget to do The Royal Mile where you can stop off for a bite to eat at one of the pubs. 

Head home with the souvenirs you bought, and settle in on the plush sofa for a movie – don’t forget the popcorn. Afterwards, you might light the fireplace and work on a puzzle together as you sip cocoa. Maybe you’ll head back out after a dinner prepared on the beautiful Aga cooker and experience more of the New Town nightlife. Whatever you choose, a luxurious bubble bath and comfortable bed is waiting for you at the end of the day.

New Town Charm

Lift Access

Originally built in 1690, the building this home is set in served as a residence for the University of Edinburgh and as Red Cross Headquarters during WWII. Today, you'll find a modern and inviting private home, where you’ll be greeted by a colourful and characterful space – think white walls with original mouldings, vibrant candy-coloured rugs and beautiful prints hanging on the walls. There’s also a classic piano for evenings spent in the sociable dining room, gathered around a home-cooked feast with your own personal soundtrack and pretty views of the neighbourhood. The bedrooms are similarly styled, with lovely wall details and traditional fireplaces complemented by gold accents, antique mirrors and colourful carpets and throws. Get cosy and recharge before heading out into the picturesque heart of the city. You’ll be just a three-minute walk from the majestic Edinburgh Castle and five minutes from the historic Old Town. Spend lovely mornings strolling through the greenery at the Princess Street Gardens, just four minutes away before you get lost in the maze of the city.

University Place

Balcony

At the foot of the Royal Mile, just one minute from the national seat of power of the Scottish Parliament, this flat is every bit as majestic as its surroundings. Enjoy luxury right from the offset, as your host can arrange for a private transfer from the airport right to your door. Inside, while the decor is much more modern than the historic locale, the furnishings are supremely comfortable and stylish. Your open-plan living space has rich, brown wooden flooring and duck-egg blue kitchen cabinets – a beautiful colour scheme which is perfectly illuminated by bright windows and light fixtures. We love the idea of dining below the trendy, low-hanging lampshade next to the charcoal feature wall. And this isn’t your only dining option – how about an alfresco meal on your own balcony? Then round off the evening with a stroll around the residents' garden. In the morning, savour a hearty bowl of porridge to prepare for a big day ahead. As you’re just a six-minute walk from the edge of Holyrood Park, you’ve got an enormous green space to explore. You can even scale its extinct volcano, Arthur’s Seat, for sweeping views of Edinburgh and beyond.

Volcanic Vistas

Right across the street from Dunbars Close – a beautifully manicured 17th-century style park and garden – this bright apartment is as chic as it is comfortable. From its feature pendant lighting to its large leather sofa and floor-to-ceiling windows, there’s an air of industrial sleekness to this home that makes it feel instantly welcoming. We love the Crittall–style doors that lead to the first bedroom with its brewery-inspired wall art and the living room's cleverly concealed kitchenette that will make meal-prep feel like a Narnia-esque experience. You’ll relish starting mornings, too, in the colourful tiled bathrooms, where rainfall showers provide the ultimate luxury wake-up. When you’re not chilling out in your stylish pad or catching up on work at the bedroom's desk space, go out and explore the local area. You’re just a ten-minute walk from Calton Hill, a thirteen-minute stroll from Edinburgh Castle and a seven-minute amble from the shop-lined Royal Mile. 


Tea With Sugar

It's quite fitting that this elegant studio apartment with its beautiful painted mural is close to the Scottish National Gallery and Scottish Gallery of Modern Art (both are an eight-minute stroll away). There's more culture to be had at the National Portrait Gallery and the Museum on the Mound, eleven minutes on foot. Edinburgh Castle, St James Quarter, the Scott Monument, and St Giles' Cathedral are all within a fifteen-minute or less wander too. Edinburgh International Conference Centre, on the other hand, is just a three-minute walk, and the University of Edinburgh, the Old Town and the Royal Mile are all under a twenty-five-minute amble, while there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby for refreshments.

After a busy day of sightseeing, take a seat on one of the comfy chairs and admire the artwork with a wee dram. Or get some rest in the bedroom with its dramatic dark navy-hued wood panelling. We love the character features in this apartment, such as the high ceilings, cornices, sash windows and shutters. After you've put your feet up for a while, get ready in the bathroom with its terrazzo-effect tiling and head to bed or if you're anything like us, sample the restaurants and bars – well, they're close by, and it would be rude not to.



Painting Box

Outdoor Seating

Patio / Terrace

Small but perfectly formed, this apartment is a great base in Edinburgh’s New Town. It’s just an eight-minute walk to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and Princes Street Gardens are only thirteen minutes away. There are countless bars, cafes and eateries within walking distance, too. The open-plan living and dining space is compact but attractive, and you also have the bonus of a garden to spread out in. The free-standing bathtub is another treat, perfect if you’ve spent the day sightseeing and need to rest your feet.  

The New Town Gem

Playful and bold, this homey apartment has a lot going for it. It's packed with traditional Georgian features, yet there are plenty of modern updates that really make this place sing. The sleek kitchen has a stylish breakfast bar and is perfectly sized for rustling up meals, and there's no better spot to kick back and relax than the open living space. With its plush sofa, vibrant red accents and ornamental fireplace, there's an old-world parlour feel to this room that we find utterly charming. Cosy and contemporary, you'll love coming home to this apartment after a day out and about. Located just off Queen Street, this part of town is where you'll find lovely cafes, trendy bars and delicious restaurants. It's not far from Waverly Station – about an eight-minute walk – and both picturesque Old Town and Edinburgh Castle are about fifteen minutes away. 

Red Yarn

Stylish and contemporary, this apartment is a haven located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Ideal for a solo traveller or a romantic getaway, this home is suave in all the right ways. After a busy day out exploring the city, enjoy a couple of drinks with your feet up on the plush sofas. On a clear night, the sunset through the floor-to-ceiling windows is soul warming. While you may want to sample the gastro scene on your doorstep, the contemporary kitchen will do nicely for a home-cooked meal. Pair it with a delicious bottle of wine as you settle down for dinner with your loved one to plan your next adventure in Scotland’s capital. After dinner, close your eyes in the bubble bath and feel your weary muscles relax into the heat. Settle down into your cosy bed and you’ll fall into a blissful night’s sleep effortlessly.

Located just a stone's throw away from the famous Royal Mile, the area is culturally vibrant and filled with entertainment. From history and architecture to independent shops and bars, there’s plenty to fill your days. After a day soaking up this stunning Scottish city, retreat to your hideaway and recount the memories you’ve made. 

The Golden Mile

Housed in a beautifully preserved Georgian townhouse, this chic apartment in Edinburgh’s New Town will make you feel right at home. We love the contrast between the dark wood floors, sage-coloured walls and blush pink armchairs, creating a soft and intimate setting for a relaxing stay. Although a studio apartment, space is cleverly maximised here thanks to clever design details, like the wooden floor-to-ceiling beams that create a separation between the living and dining areas, and the cute kitchenette concealed within a stunning feature cabinet. After waking up and enjoying a soak under the tiled bathroom’s rainfall shower, head out for a stroll around Queen Street Gardens, just across the road. You’re also just a six-minute walk from shop-lined Princes Street, a twelve-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle and a fourteen-minute amble from Calton Hill with its panoramic views over the city. 


Pink Thistle

If you're a couple, solo traveller or business professional looking to be within walking distance of the majority of Edinburgh's main attractions, then this chic studio is perfect. George Street and Princes Street are a one-minute stroll away, while Edinburgh International Conference Centre is just a three-minute saunter, and the University of Edinburgh, the Old Town and the Royal Mile are all under a twenty-five-minute walk. For culture lovers, the Scottish National Gallery and Scottish Gallery of Modern Art are eight minutes on foot, while the National Portrait Gallery and the Museum on the Mound are both an eleven-minute wander. No trip to the city would be complete without seeing Edinburgh Castle – it's a twelve-minute walk, and St Giles' Cathedral and the St James Quarter shopping centre are all within a fifteen-minute walk too.

After a busy day, head back to this studio housed in a grand period building. We love the use of colour here, the rich blue tones give this home a sophisticated vibe, and the character features, such as the shutters and wood panelling, are delightful. Pour a glass of whiskey and take the weight off your feet with a rest on the comfy armchair or admire the city views. When it's time for bed, the bedroom area lies beyond the kitchen behind more painted panelling – get a good night’s sleep ready to start a new fun packed day in this vibrant city.

Edinburgh Blue

Georgian elegance meets modern comforts in this beautiful blush-coloured studio apartment. With its tall corniced ceilings, huge sash windows and dark wood floors, there’s a definite touch of historic sophistication here. An ornamental fireplace creates a debonair setting in the living room, where a chic desk space invites you to catch up on work in style. The bedroom area is pretty as a picture with its window-side seat, perfect for starting off relaxing mornings over coffee and a good book. After a luxurious soak under the metro-tiled bathroom’s rainfall shower, head out to explore your surroundings. You couldn’t be better placed to visit some of the city’s best sights, including Edinburgh Castle (a twelve-minute walk away), Princes Street (six minutes away) and Calton Hill for sunset vistas (a fourteen-minute stroll from your door).


Blush Hush

Right across the street from Edinburgh’s beautiful Queen Street Gardens, this chic apartment has everything you need for a relaxing stay in the city. With its tall ceilings, soft grey walls, dark wood floors and modern furnishings, there’s an elegant simplicity in the decor that makes you feel instantly at home. We love how the home has been carefully designed with space in mind, like the bespoke kitchenette, cleverly hidden within a cabinet, and the stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom creating a visual feature piece in their own right. After mornings enjoying breakfast at the window-side table and luxuriating under the rainfall shower, go out and explore your surroundings. You’ve got plenty of Edinburgh’s most iconic sights within easy walking distance, including Princes Street for great shopping (six minutes away), Edinburgh Castle for an afternoon of history (twelve minutes away) and Calton Hill for stunning sunset views over the city (fourteen minutes away). Factor in the countless bars and restaurants in your New Town neighbourhood and you’ve got ample entertainment to keep you going. 


New Town Fling

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! 

Water Of Life

Sometimes you spot a grand-looking, historic building and think the interior could never live up to the impressive facade. That couldn’t be further from the truth for this apartment in Edinburgh’s New Town. The Georgian frontage and original features – think marble fireplaces, high ceilings, and hardwood floors – have been tastefully augmented with rich carpets, and antique and handmade furniture. It’s no wonder this place won a Hilden Style Award. You’ll find modern comforts in the sleek, white kitchen, though the solid wood table and crystal whisky decanter add a bit of old-world charm. This light-flooded city pad is a fantastic base for your Edinburgh stay and if you can peel yourself away from the grand Chesterfield sofas, you’re a ten-minute stroll from George Street, twenty from Edinburgh Castle and just over fifteen from the Royal Mile.

There are an array of attractions within walking distance of this elegant Edinburgh townhouse, set over three floors. The Royal Botanic Garden is under ten minutes on foot, while the Scott Monument is just over fifteen minutes away. Edinburgh Castle, Johnnie Walker Princes Street and the Royal Mile are under a twenty-five-minute walk, as well. We have to say we love this home’s spacious living room with its character features and large sash windows. Another highlight is the bathrooms with their freestanding bathtubs. There’s a seating area in the dining room, too, which also has a log burner. This home is perfect for families or friends wanting easy access to all that this wonderful city has to offer.
