The Cobbled Rider is a lovely second floor flat on a beautiful street which is packed full of great restaurants, boutique shops, a charming pub and an excellent coffee shop right below the flat. This time round we visited The Bon Vivant and Noto restaurants just nearby and had two excellent meals.
The flat is well furnished, nicely decorated and well stocked. It looks just like the photos. Though we didn’t eat in, the kitchen seemed to have everything you would need to cook.
The shower is good with good pressure.
Although we didn’t use it in the end the sitting room has a sofa which becomes a huge and comfortable looking sofa bed.
The accommodation is perfectly situated to explore both the New Town and Stockbridge and to get down to the castle / Royal Mile etc in about ten mins on foot.
We visited for the Fringe Festival and even though the town was very busy we didn’t find Thistle Street noisy at all.
Sonia and Chris are great hosts. They were very communicative and their guide to Edinburgh which they send electronically and leave in hard copy in the flat is a very useful resource.
Check in and check out were very simple.
All in all a lovely stay in a great part of town.
