This is a stunning property.
I stayed for a long weekend as I was taking part in a Scotch whisky conference just outside the city of Edinburgh. The main tourist sites of Edinburgh were all walkable but the apartment was also well connected to public transport and Newington is a cool and up-and-coming area with some very trendy bars and coffee shops. As it happened, one of the owners upstairs had a good knowledge of Scotch whisky so we chewed the fat on areas of mutual interest.
I had the run of the whole apartment downstairs. It was immaculately clean and well presented with a contemporary vibe, while preserving the beautiful original features of this historic building. The bed was a cozy and well presented and an added benefit was the ensuite kitchenette which included a wonderfully presented “care package“ of tea, coffee, biscuits and of course Scotland’s other national drink – Irn-Bru!
The shower was great for the morning and set me up for the days ahead. This would be a great apartment for city breaks and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in particular.
As a keen trail runner, I also enjoyed the unexpected bonus of being in close proximity to Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat.
