If we could give this property 10 stars we would. Communication with Mike from check-in to check-out was clear and timely. The home is very well appointed with a complete kitchen set up, comfortable beds and plenty of seating areas for relaxing after busy days exploring Edinburgh. The location is perfect for walking the Royal Mile and access to other sites in the city. The views across Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat are the icing on the cake. We highly recommend this property.

1st trip to Scotland

The home is beautiful, wonderful space for a family or several couples. Especially loved the location. An easy walk to High Street and having the park and Arthur's Seat right outside the home was a treat for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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.
