We had a lovely week in this most comfortable flat. Hoping to return next year. Very convenient for all local facilities, especially Stockbridge market.
Katie was a great host on our visit and we were able to have the most wonderful stay in her beautiful apartment. It was clean beautifully decorated spacious and it was right in the middle of the town. Katy very kindly had left us a lovely welcome pack fruit bowl and biscuits and milk which was so lovely to come into I highly recommend this place❤️
Magnificent apartment on 3rd floor with fantastic views across Edinburgh. Comfortable beds, everything you could need for a lovely stay
The flat is really beautiful, calm and comfortable. Located in the new town, it is very close to the city center, botanical garden, and Dean's gardens for a relaxing walk. Great place to stay!
Our introduction to Edinburgh was really enhanced by staying in this incredible flat. It ticks all the boxes being spotlessly clean, comfortable, spacious and everything is brand new. The photos really don't do this apartment justice. Highly recommended
Only 10 minutes walk from Waverly Station and nestled in a quiet spot close to all amenities. You couldn't ask for a better bolt hole in this beautiful city. We travelled as two couples making this apartment very good value.
My family and I stayed from the 10th October till the 12th so just a short city break. The apartment is in a fantastic location. Face to Face meet is recommended as very friendly and will answer any questions there and then so you have no problems in your stay. Also they are more then happy to recommend places to eat out if you don't fancy cooking, however with the brilliant facilities you will want to eat in as it is like a home from home. This apartment is highly recommended. Thank you
Nice house, Ideal for a stay over Christmas. Facilities and equipment generally very good. Only issues were, the lack of a TV (we brought a small TV and connected it up to our laptop) and not a great amount of cutlery. Off road parking very useful, goor location close to Stockbridge.
Excellent location, a beautiful apartment near the city centre and near all the attractions. There’s a Tesco nearby as well as a Sainsbury’s so it’s very comfortable
An ideal location from which to visit the Old Town, the New Town, Holyrood Palace and the Castle; all of which we enjoyed. The apartment was the perfect place to return to in the evening with comfortable furnishings and enchanting décor. A dining table in the "window box" with a beautiful chandelier was an ideal spot to dine and view the Royal Mile. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms well equipped although the showers proved a little "temperamental".
After a long journey and informing of arrival time we had to wait for cleaner to finish disappointing! On arrival a small amount of milk and a packet of biscuits were left ,unused food in fridge /freezer and old fruit left in fruit bowl . No dishwashing liquid /tablets were left and dirty sponge/dish cloth were in the sink which were too dirty to use . Some kitchen paper towels would have been appropriate and appreciated . The washing machine was faulty and we were offered for somebody to look at it but we were not happy to have anybody in the apartment in the current situation .Stuart did...more
Very nice place to rest after touring the Scotland. Highly recommended, twenty minutes walk to the castle.
Checked in with my friend for a four day break using key store with no problems. Apartment was just as we expected from the photographs. Loved the high ceilings and original features. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. The kitchen, if you were to cook, looked well equipped. We didn’t use anything but the kettle and toaster. The location was great and visited the restaurants on Broughton Street on an evening. The apartment is in a quiet area despite being only a short walk to town. We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Perfect location for us as it balanced being close enough to the city without being in the thick of hustle and bustle. Well equipped kitchen with things like tea, coffee, fruit, oil which was appreciated. Needed some instructions leaving on how to use the TV and heating as nothing was supplied to us .
It's huge. It's comfy. It's centrally located. This is one of the more magnificent places to stay in one of the world's most magnificent cities. What a treat!
My family and I had a fantastic stay at the cottage! We were welcomed by a lovely seasonal pumpkin display outside and home made cake inside! The cottage was clean with lovely touches through out. It has excellent bus links into the centre of Edinburgh, the area was quiet and it was nice and cosy having the log burner on at night. My children (4 and 2) didn’t want to leave. We would definitely stay again.
We very much enjoyed being at the heart of the Old Town. The apartment has a fantastic location with amazing views. Everything you need is there. I highly recommend this flat for anyone who wants a historic Edinburgh experience.
We had a lovely stay in Cheyne Street. Great location, great flat and facilities. Very comfortable with everything we needed and more. Lots of thought and care put into the little extras. Thank you.
Thank you to Katie and team for being so efficient with emails and queries. We had a really lovely stay in the house. It was really good to find basic necessities such as tea, coffee, milk, salt, pepper and oil when we arrived. There were lots of other bits and pieces too which made the place feel very welcoming. I would certainly stay again.
The flat is lovely and really well located. Very well fitted out. Easy to find and NCP parking nearby which can be pre-booked. The shortbread and fruit welcome pack was very nice. We did have an issue though. The shower/bath drain blocked on Saturday morning and backed up into the bath. I emailed the contact immediately. In the meantime we found a plunger and after a good hour of plunging and flushing and flushing and plunging we managed to clear the drain (which was blocked by a hair ball looking at what came into the bath...). We didn't get a reply to the email until the Monday afternoon ...more
The apartment was just perfect for our stay. We are a family of four (two teenagers) and found that we were located really well to see the sights of the city. We didn't have a car and used walking and taxis to get around, which worked well. The apartment is really roomy with lots of space for us all. My youngest son loved the hideaway bed in the study. If we visited Edinburgh again I would have no hesitation re-booking this property.
Our stay in Edinburgh was fantastic. The accommodation was in a great location and was clean and very comfortable. The view from the living area is lovely and we were treated to a fireworks display from Dynamic Earth on our first night, which my daughter loved! There was a small issue with the cooker hood on our arrival, but someone was there within half an hour of my phone call to sort it out. I was very impressed with their efficiency. The secure parking was a huge asset although we were within walking distance from most things! I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much.
This is an ideal base, for two, for exploring Edinburgh. It's well equipped, spotlessly clean and very quiet. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the heating. The owner was quick to respond to my texts and I was swiftly moved to another flat just around the corner. I would certainly recommend this flat.
Nice flat, in the heart of old town. Close proximity to everywhere and the station. Nice shops and restaurants around. I
Couldn’t really fault anything with the apartment was all clean and in good condition, the location it great short 10 minute walk from train station and 5 from the bus.
We booked the apartment specifically as a base for the Edinburgh Fringe 2020 and had to postpone the booking to 2021. We were lucky that the fringe took place and that the apartment was close to the venues. There was good WIFI in the flat. This was important as we were constantly booking shows as they were added to the fringe. (And some of our group wanted to play computer games) The property is the start of the Old Town with the Castle visible from the front door. It’s close to a Sainsbury's local and restaurants, cafes and bars. The trams are within walking distance, as are the buses....more
Very easy booking system. Very efficient service and given all we needed with immediate response when required. Comfortable - with all that was needed for a short stay in a central location.
This is an attractive apartment which has many useful features including a dishwasher, washing machine, television, wifi. It is also a close to restaurants, shops, the castle, the university, and the train station. The only drawback is that the apartment is very small, especially when the fold-away bed is open. With 2 people it is very difficult to move around the room.
