About this apartment rental

IMPORTANT: My flat has recently been granted a short term let license and the relevant planning permission to operate legally as a holiday rental. Both these things are a legal requirement for holiday lets such as mine and very few in Edinburgh have been granted them to date. If you book somewhere in Edinburgh, please ensure they are legal to operate or you may find they are forced by the authorities to cease trading with immediate effect and you run the very real risk of your booking being cancelled.

Further to this, if they do continue to trade without the legal requirements you will not be covered by any insurance should you require this during your stay. Decisions on whether licenses and planning permission are granted are starting to come in between Jan 2024 and throughout the summer of 2024.

Now for the nice stuff:

Directly opposite the Royal Residence at Holyroodhouse Palace at the foot of the famous and historic Royal Mile and only a few steps away from the Scottish Parliament Building this beautiful city centre apartment effortlessly fuses modern living with traditional Scottish flair. It is a ground floor apartment making it suitable for wheelchair users and boasts a small private patio area directly outside the front door whilst being surrounded by shared gardens.

Whilst the setting could not be more central the property enjoys a relatively peaceful ambience and is in a perfect position for people watching as the open top tour buses stop right outside the apartment window to point out the Palace to the tourists. You can immerse yourself in the grand atmosphere of the Royal Residence - especially as cannon fire can be heard periodically at Her Majesty's request. Although a car is not essential due to the location of this property the apartment has provision for your own private parking in a secure car park.

A few steps from the residence takes you to the heart of century's of Scottish History as well as an abundance of modern cultural, commercial and social centres. The apartment is ideally situated to walk to Princes Street (10 minute walk), Arthur's Seat (2 minute walk), Easter Road at the top of Leith (5 minute walk), The Royal Mile (less than 1 minute walk), Waverley Train Station (8 minute walk) and many more places of historical interest, not to mention the many great eateries and pubs in the nearby vicinity. The apartment lies in a quiet Crescent just off the Royal Mile which is the ancient route between Castle and Royal Palace. There are views of Holyroodhouse Palace and of the breath taking and infamous Salisbury Crags on Arthur's Seat - an extinct volcano in the heart of Edinburgh.

The apartment has been lovingly and tastefully presented with traditional Scottish elements combining effortless modern living with a new, fully fitted and equipped kitchen, fully tiled bathroom with bath and Mira shower.

The kitchen is fully equipped and modern offering; a Washing Machine, Gas Stove, Electric Oven, Fridge/Freezer, Microwave, Juicer, Steamer and George Foreman Grill. Everything is supplied here whether you want to cook, eat out or order a take away meal from one of dozens of nearby establishments.


The beautiful, bright living room with double aspect windows is comfortably and classically furnished to a high standard which has a distinctly Scottish flavour with Scottish thistles, heather and a comfortable tartan armchair with a Charles Rennie MacIntosh mirror above. You will notice the panorama photograph of Edinburgh on the wall showing the apartment and its fabulous location. There is a comfortable sofa and many small tables dotted about for your convenience. You will also find throws on the sofa which can be used for both comfort and protection of the soft furnishings. There is also optional dining for four people and is thoughtfully equipped with multi channel HDTV, Blu- ray DVD, Apple TV and mobile Broadband. This room houses a large walk-in cupboard in which is a brand new, top of the range, pull- out, optional double bed which folds up and down in a matter of seconds. A selection of books and games are also available.

The bedroom is another beautiful room with a shabby chic feel to it with a comfortable brand new double bed and double aspect windows and ample storage. A hairdryer and set of straighteners are also in here for your use.

The apartment would suit many different people (including couples looking for a romantic break, wheelchair users or small groups or families) wanting to make the most of their visit to Edinburgh without lots of travelling in to the town centre. The apartment is within walking distance of bus stops to many areas of Edinburgh including, Leith (for The Royal Yacht Britannia), The Zoo, and Murrayfield, the home of Scotland's Rugby, not to mention the Horse Racing at Musselburgh.

Nice clean place, comfortable beds and well stocked and super close to sites. Just at the end of the Royal Mile. Highly recommended!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
Great location in walking distance to everything without the noise of downtown. It was clean and cozy. Though only one bedroom, we did make use of portable folding bed. It was very comfortable, nothing like the usual bar in your spine pull out mattress that you often get as a second sleep option. The owner was very helpful and anticipated many of the usual questions, Highly recommend

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh. Close enough to walk to everything. It was a very lovely property.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
Stayed for one night in Spring. Paid 350 odd pounds for what is around 18 or so hours of rented time. Was a great location re the royal mile however was surprised to receive a message apologetically asking us to not use too much power. Also surprised to find the heating on timed meters which automatically switched on and off. Switching off at 2000 and not coming on again until the next day - its a cold town/place and if we have paid GOOD money to stay for a few hours and we are cold,,,we should be able to get warm. If the meters were adjustable there were no instructions and we aren't electricians. Also did not appreciate receiving a calendar reminder to be out by 10...im away from work and away from calendar reminders. Check-out time is covered in the agreement to stay so a reminder was not required. After 6 weeks travelling Europe this is the only place/experience that I have not provided a good review to sorry. If you want to get good/top money for your place then you need to look after the paying guests.
