About this house rental
Welcome to Russell House, a historic listed building nestled in the heart of Reid's Court, Edinburgh. Built around 1790, this Georgian property offers a unique blend of classic charm and modern convenience.
The court is named after the Reid family, esteemed smiths and coach makers of the 17th and 18th centuries, adding a rich historical context to this exceptional home. Situated at the bottom of the Royal Mile, the house is only a short walk away from the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Palace, Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh Castle and many other central Edinburgh's top attractions.
The property boasts four spacious bedrooms, featuring three double beds and one king-sized bed, providing ample accommodation for guests. Each bedroom is designed to be both comfortable and spacious, ensuring a restful stay. The living room is comfortable and inviting, perfect for relaxation and socialising.
Russell House features two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other with a walk-in shower on the higher floors (Please note that both bathrooms are en-suite and located within two of the bedrooms, so they will need to be shared between all guests within your group staying at the property). There is also a convenient WC on the ground floor. The kitchen is fully fitted and maintained to a high standard, with porcelain tiling and all necessary appliances for modern living.
The house has 3 floors, and the upper floors are only reachable by stairs.
The house is well-served by bus routes and is near Waverley Train Station, ensuring excellent transport links. Additionally, there is 1 private free car parking spaces right next to the house.
Our check-in method is simple and convenient: Self-check-in is the only option, with the key securely stored in a key safe at the property.
Please note a security deposit registration will need to be completed prior to arrival in order to receive the codes for check-in, no money is actually charged but there is a pre-authorization of 1 euro.
Please note: a Visitor Levy set by the local council applies to overnight stays in this area and is included in your total booking price. In Edinburgh this is 5% of the accommodation cost per night, applied to the first 5 nights of your stay. It appears as a separate line in your price breakdown — there is nothing extra to pay on arrival.

We liked the location at the bottom end of the Royal Mile. Restaurants and shops were near by. Great place to start your exploration of Edinburgh.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! We were in a great location, nice and quiet, big and spacious. The showers were good and we had lots of hot water. The toilets could’ve flushed a little better but other than that, we enjoyed everything.

Everything about the property was communicated clearly and our stay was great. The location was perfect and the house was comfortable and well appointed. Everything was just as good as the pictures showed.
