Thank you to Francesca and Hannah for our wonderful stay in Edinburgh.
The flat was perfectly situated for walks along the Royal Mile, down to Holyrood, Arthur's Seat and Princes Street - a perfect location for a long weekend of exploring. We made use of Mary's Milk Bar which is situated on Grassmarket a few minutes from the flat. It should be noted that there are some steps up to the flat as noted by the host, however we found these to be perfectly fine and no different to what we experienced right across the streets around the Royal Mile.
The flat itself was lovely and surprisingly roomy inside with all the amenities needed for self-catering in the summer - the availability of fans was much appreciated! The view of the castle from the living room window was a lovely backdrop to eating in, nd especially when it was lit up in the evenings, and we also made the most of how close the flat was to the castle. The guest handbook and instructions on local parking, things to do and places to visit was also very helpful.
Hannah's regular communication to us before and after our stay has been appreciated and put us at ease for our first staycation this year. We would love to come back to Castle View Lodge for any future stays in Edinburgh.
