About this property

Luxury Edinburgh Victorian Home - Central Edinburgh, 3 beds with carparking

Property Summary
Sleeps 3 to 5 persons. This is a lovely semi detached Victorian Villa, providing luxury accommodation for those looking for ‘home from home’ comforts. Very well appointed, lovely spacious lounge with bay window, 3 bedrooms (2 doubles and 1 single) and 2 bathrooms (one which is en-suite). It's quiet location with on street parking, yet very close to Edinburgh's Old Town, Holyrood Park, Royal Commonwealth Pool, Duddingston Golf Club and within easy driving access to East Lothian. A very popular apartment with golfers, families and groups of friends.

Detailed Description
This lovely semi detached Victorian villa is set out on ground and lower ground floors and provides luxury accommodation for those looking for 'home from home' comfort. It is very well appointed throughout, comprising 'main door' entrance into hallway, a spacious lounge with bay window, double bedroom, family bathroom, compact and well equipped kitchen and dining area (seats 8 persons). Stairs lead to 2 further bedrooms on the lower ground floor and double bedroom with ensuite shower facilities and also a quiet single bedroom. There is a side door way giving access to a paved rear courtyard area with table / chairs and BBQ facilities. Wi-fi and TV. There is also 'free' on street car parking nearby, rare for such a central location! You'll have exclusive use of this main door ground and lower ground apartment and access to the rear garden area. One set of keys per bedroom is provided.

Neighbourhood
A perfect spot in a highly sought after residential area, which is ideally located for visits to the Old Town, Arthur’s Seat / Holyrood Park and the Royal Commonwealth Pool. The nearby Cameron Toll shopping centre has a large 'Sainbury Superstore' and the apartment is within 25-30 mins walk from the Old Town (using google walking directions). For those who prefer, it is on a very regular bus service into town (along Dalkeith Road, 10-15 mins journey time).

Restaurants
There is of course 'Prestonfield House', a 5 star hotel with fine dining and sumptuous cream teas (within 5 minutes walk). Within 10-15 mins walk are many restaurants, my choices would be The Apiary, Hanedan (Turkish), Dicks at Summerhall Place, Blonde and Los Argentinos (Steakhouse). There's also a nice pub called 'The Salisbury Arms' opposite the Royal Commonwealth Pool and only 5 mins walk away. There's a lot to choose from close at hand!

Getting around
A 10 minute walk into Holyrood Park / Arthurs Seat, 25-30 walk into Edinburgh's Old Town or on very regular bus service into Edinburgh City Centre (along Dalkeith Road). You can also park your car 'for free' on nearby streets, a rarity in central Edinburgh, so saving you around £25 per day on charges.

Hospitality
This apartment is professionally managed by Jason,and Kathryn of 'Guest Lets Ltd.' and one of our hospitality team will meet you on your arrival with keys and provide any advice and support during your stay.

Ground floor rooms were lovely

This is a very nice flat. The hall, lounge, bathroom and kitchen are all very good. Perhaps a little cluttered. We did have an issue with the TVs not working, one was fixed after a few days (we were offered a nominal refund). One or two niggles though: The hot water ran out after two showers every morning and was set not to come on again until the evening. There was a piece of tape covering the immersion heater switch to discourage its use. There were instructions as to where to find a change of bed linen and towels (we were there for 2 weeks) but there were signs all over it saying 'owner's personal items do not use'. The freezer was full of owners' food so we only had use of one drawer. The instructions for disposing of waste and recycling were conflicting. A sticker inside the front door agreed with the information folder but there was a third notice behind the kitchen door suggesting we should take rubbish about 300yds around the corner to the communal bins on the main road so as not the leave the problem for the next guests (!) We only saw this towards the end, when we'd already put the bins out and had them emptied on the correct days. We thought this was unreasonable so we followed the other two instructions. Now the basement. Both rooms were adequate and well furnished, but there was a strong smell of damp. We turned the central heating up to try and warm the place through and circulate the air, but the smell remained. It wasn't terrible but it was there. Apart from the tribe of woodlice, I don't think anyone had been down there for a while. We were told on arrival that there was tape over the switch outside the en suite, which was clearly for the heated towel rail (there were no other switches to turn it on) because there was some problem. If we'd been able to use this it may have helped to clear the smell. The property manager was helpful with our TV problems, though the length of time we were waiting for the repair man meant there was a temporary key safe with the keys to the property in it, outside the door locked to the railings, for much of our stay, which was a little uncomfortable. We hired a car and, as advertised, parking was not really a problem. The folder suggested we shouldn't park in the 'resident's only' bays but in fact there's only a restriction for a couple of hours each morning. On balance, the positives outweighed the negatives and we enjoyed our stay and its convenient location. We'd consider it again, certainly.

Comfortable Stay in Edinburgh

Our family of 5 stayed here and found it quite spacious and comfortable. It was a quiet location, away from the tourist areas. The walk to the Royal Mile is about exactly 30 min but there are some nice restaurants and a commercial area about a 10 min walk away. Definitely a fair bit of walking but was fine for us. Also close to Arthur’s Seat. One of the best stocked kitchens I’ve come across. An easy 5 star rating for me to give.

Absolutely delightful apartment

What a wonderful few days in Edinburgh we had! This property is comfortable, stylish, large and convenient! We walked everywhere from here...Royal Mile, parks, bookstores, food...all within walking distance. Then back to a comfortable, bright, cozy "home". Will definitely return to the UK and would love to be able to stay here once again. Reservations and check-in where extremely smooth and owner checked in regularly and answered all questions quickly. A+ all around!

Beautiful property! Great location!

We stayed t this lovely property for a week while exploring Edinburgh. The flat is just beautiful. Very tastefully decorated and well appointed. It's not tough to get a bus, but we used Edinburgh Cab company to get where we needed to go. We would have walked into town, but it is a bit far with a broken ankle! The property was immaculate with comfortable furniture and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. The main bedroom with a double bed is on the first floor and there is a queen bedroom and single bedroom in the basement (with windows). The bathrooms were great. Jason (the property manager) was extremely helpful. The neighborhood is beautiful. And, a big bonus if you are a golfer as the Prestonfield Golf Club is a two minute walk and just gorgeous! Highly recommend!

1 week stay

The flat was perfect for our vacation. Everything was clean and ready for us. Great location for visiting the city; close to bus stop and shopping. On street parking was a challenge at times as it was hard to tell what was restricted. We never did find out if the parking limits applied to the space in front of the sign or to the 3 or 4 spaces there. In the end, not that big a deal. However, a note explaining it would be good to include in the booklet. We definitely recommend staying here.

Very nice place and a wonderful host. We found the place clean, quiet, comfortable and safe. THANKS

Good accommodations for our family of five. Close enough to town but also convenient via cab. Everything we needed was there and any issues were promptly addressed by Jason. Very impressed by his responsiveness and the overall cleanliness and quality of this unit. This got our vacation off to a great start.

La casa perfecta,tiene de todo,pero muy lejos de la ciudad

La casa es perfecta,tiene de todo ,un poco fría en los dormitorios de abajo pero se puede dormir bien,la única pega que está muy lejos de la ciudad nueva y vieja,sobretodo si llueve mucho como nos ha pasado.Son 7/8 paradas de autobús.el taxi cuesta del centro a la casa unas 7 libras,y no merece la pena ir a Leith es un puerto normal que no tiene nada que ver.Edimburgo es precioso y su gente muy amable

Classic Comfort and Convenient to Everything

Our group of five adult family members thoroughly enjoyed four nights at this quiet property in Central Edinburgh. This Victorian home is beautifully and lovingly appointed, welcoming, and comfortable for all of us. It was a special place to be and served as our home base for explorations within Edinburgh and surrounding areas. We easily walked to the heart of Downtown and enjoyed many of the nearby shopping, eating options and Holyrood Park. We would return in a heartbeat.

Stunning property in a great location.

This property is a perfect fit for anyone who wants to explore the sights of Edinburgh. It's peaceful for a rest but close by to see the sights! The property is very well managed and with complete and professional communication at all times, with all questions and queries answered quickly and helpfully. The property itself is stunning with a perfect finish and very clean. Highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to explore Edinburgh.
