We booked a New Years stay at The Cooperage several months in advance and were in contact with Robert up to and throughout our stay. We drove up to Scotland from London and were unsure of our arrival time, but he went out of his way to accommodate us and hand over the keys along with a selection of household essentials.

When we arrived we were greeted with a lovely selection of goodies including teabags (phew!) and chocolates. The Cooperage is a lovely little flat, quiet, safe and 30-40 mins stroll from the city, or a short bus ride. Plenty of lovely pubs and places to eat nearby, a Sainsburys local is around the corner, as well as a cinema and small selection of high street shops. The living room is spacious, the kitchen fully equipped and the bed very comfortable!

All the little touches Robert added in along with the personal effects dotted about the flat made it feel like a home away from home and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay a few days in beautiful Edinburgh.
