Upon arrival the mansion has a very impressive appearance, especially if you’re into architecture or Victorian homes. The house is located a short mile walk from Edinburgh castle. The location could not be better for touring Edinburgh. Paulette and Mike were extremely helpful from the start, with quick responses to anything we asked. Great accommodation for the area and the included parking is worth it’s weight in gold, as it’s virtually impossible to find cheap parking for miles. If you plan to stay in Edinburgh and want to keep driving to a minimum, but still bring a car, this would be a very good choice. If we ever return to Edinburgh we would book again in a heartbeat.
