2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!


Whole property - 140sqm

This is a wonderful, spacious, traditional seaside townhouse, built at a time when wealthy Edinburgh families also bought a house by the sea in order to cool off on those hot summer days.

Laid out over 3 floors, the wide staircases are a feature, particularly the winding staircase between the first and second floors (note; they're a bit too wide for standard stair gates, so may not be ideal for young children). The Living Room is positioned on the first floor, as was the norm for the time, with 3 large windows that let the light stream in. From the top floor there are views over the roof tops to Arthur's Seat from the front and across the Firth of Forth to Fife at the rear.

The house offers 4 bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Family Bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, a WC on each floor, full gas central heating, high pressure hot water system, Primary Bedroom with ensuite, WiFi, Smart TV, travel cot, high chair, iron and ironing board, hair dryers, linen and towels. Hopefully everything you need!

Check-in from 4pm, Check-out 10.30am

City of Edinburgh Short Term Let Licence Number: EH-69033-R
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area.

Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

A warm welcome from Roslyn with the keys, and a warm house - very much appreciated on a blustery weekend.
