About this apartment rental

Our stunning and much-loved second home is the perfect base from which to enjoy and explore Edinburgh. Built in 1805, it has consistent five-star reviews from more than 50 consecutive bookings, and has recently been further upgraded to an even higher standard. This stunning apartment is very spacious, with high ceilings, original features, and fabulous furniture. The Forbes' Residence is a luxurious home rather than a 'holiday rental'.

Located in the ‘East Village’ of the our beautiful city, it is quiet but just around the corner from Broughton Street which buzzes with coffee shops, restaurants and quaint shops. Walk up Dublin Street and you will be in St Andrews Square and the city centre within 10 minutes. Or stroll the other way through Stockbridge and to the beautiful Botanical Gardens. A wealth of historical sites, fabulous restaurants, festivals, shops and entertainment are on your doorstep. And yet you can be in Scotland's beautiful countryside or playing a world class golf course in less than an hour.

The Forbes' Residence accommodates up to eight people in four bedrooms, with two bathrooms, a stunning drawing room, a 'live in' kitchen and lovely views over the street and gardens. It has a stylish, contemporary Scottish theme, original stripped Canadian wooden floors in the reception rooms with elegant carpeting in the bedrooms, detailed cornicing, a flagstone kitchen and beautiful fireplaces. A fine example of Georgian architecture at its very best with a sense of history pouring out of every nook and cranny, this 19th century building was previously home to Scottish artist Anne Redpath.

Our family love to stay here - it is full of happy memories - and we rent it out to discerning visitors for a limited number of weeks each year. We look forward to welcoming you to our 'home from home' in beautiful Edinburgh!

PLEASE NOTE: Edinburgh introduced a 5% Visitor Tax in July 2026 which will show as an additional charge for our all guests.

This stunning property is immaculately decorated and provisioned. The hosts provided us with a beautiful basket of wines and goodies. The historic home is convenient to old Edinburgh, near restaurants, entertainment and grocery stores. We will definitely be back!!

We had a lovely stay- the apartment was just beautiful, spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend! The only suggestion I have for the owner is it would be nice to have a microwave. We ordered takeout one evening, and I had to eat the leftovers cold the next day, since there was no microwave. Otherwise, the kitchen was very well stocked, and the welcome basket of wine and snacks was very nice to have!
