Single Malt

Not far from Edinburgh Castle, this apartment is in a great spot, close enough to the tourist sights but away from the crush of the Royal Mile. Despite this enviable location, it’s a surprisingly big place, and everything feels very high end. The interiors are relaxed without being too casual — traditional touches, such as the tan leather sofas and the original marble fireplace, mix well with more contemporary flourishes like the glass dining table and the plethora of artwork on display. We’d also be remiss not to mention the wonderful view of the castle, which can be reached in ten minutes on foot. Even closer is the greenery of Princes Street Garden, while there are shops and restaurants galore on nearby George Street. Home truths: *This home is connected to another home, The Scottish Calf, both properties cannot be booked together *This home is on the second floor in a building with no lift, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility *The windows of the main bedroom look onto the street below – it's not busy but you might hear the odd passing car *When we tested the wif-fi, it was a little slow, so it might not be suitable if you need to work *The parking is only available at a fee
