We had a lovely stay at Beside The Castle and would thoroughly recommend it.

Yvonne was very prompt and helpful in all her correspondence, as was Gill the person who manages the flat. I emailed Gill a couple of times in advance and she replied immediately. Her husband John met us at the flat to let us in and showed us around and explained how everything worked, which was very useful. The croissants, milk, tea and coffee waiting for us on arrival were a lovely touch.

The flat is in an ideal location for visitors to Edinburgh - nestled right at the top of the Old Town, a short distance from the Castle and importantly the Whiskey Experience tour! The views are stunning across Princes Street Gardens and the New Town.

The flat itself is extremely spacious and airy - it was a real luxury to have so much space in such a prime location. It was clean and well kept and all kitchen appliances, central heating, bathroom fittings etc were in good working order. John had given us his number and told us to call or email at any time with any questions or problems (although we didn't need to).

It was a great base for a short trip and we would happily return on future trips.
