This property was perfect for our family vacation. We had 5 adults and 3 children. Plenty of bedroom, bath and gathering space. Clean, with all the conveniences of home. Easy to get into the city and also enjoy the outdoor space in the back! Would return here.

Beautiful property

We had a lovely weekend in this stunning property. Prior to our arrival the host enquired about our requirements particularly with reference to parking. He provided detailed and accurate instructions for our arrival and for gaining access which got our stay off to a great start. To have parking for 2 cars is a huge advantage. The property was immaculately clean and beautifully presented. We were particularly impressed with the high quality of all the furnishings, fixtures and fittings. It felt like everything had been thought of and catered for. It is a very comfortable property to occupy. It feels like being in a much loved family home rather than a sterile holiday let. This property enjoys an enviable location. To be so close to the city centre and all its attractions yet to have stunning countryside views from all it’s levels, we simply couldn’t believe our luck! To have access to a lovely garden was also a huge bonus. I found the host was easily contactable and dealt fully with any questions I had. We throughly enjoyed our time in this property and would not hesitate to highly recommend it. We would like to thank Mike and Cheryl for being the perfect hosts.

Top notch holiday accommodation

This Edinburgh property is probably the best holiday home I've ever stayed in. Set over four floors, it was spacious for three adults and three children. Two living rooms, big kitchen and dining room. Large bedrooms with ensuites. And what a view out to Albert's Seat! Centrally located - we walked into town past Holyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament and up the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle in an easy stroll. Free off-street parking too. It really is a lovely, well appointed property. Surpassed my expectations. Many thanks Mike and Cheryl!

Our home in Edinburgh

The home was beautiful, well appointed, and very well maintained. The owner provided very helpful instructions on how to work the appliances, heating, and how to be at home. We loved that Holyrood park was right out back. We canceled a tour so that we could walk the park and hike to Author's seat. It's also quiet: It's away from crowds but close to where you want to be. We walked into old Edinburgh through the park and then onto the Royal mile (passing Holyrood palace). We loved Edinburgh and will plan to come back and explore more of this city and hope to stay here again.

Perfect location, house, host (will return)

Perfect location (no tourist, walk to anything one wants). Perfect house, four floors for family and friends to spread out across. For queer folk, super nice queer-bar 15-minute walk away (seriously friendly and welcomining). Host was amazing (responding in minutes or hours to every question or request). Exceeded every possible expectation. Will come back to this house/host on our next visit. And if not available on the dates we ask.... we're so keen, that we'll just change our travel dates so as to benefit from this lovely house. Close to parks, groceries, attractions, UBER, Arthur's Seat, queer-bar.

My family, my husband, 2 adult children and myself had a very enjoyable time at this property. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy spending time in the city as well as downtime. The weather was cold and rainy and the fireplace made our stay warm and inviting. We had a couple of questions due to our itinerary and response was quick from the host and very helpful. If we visit Edinburgh again, I will definitely check this property first for availability.

Fabulous property!

A great house for friends or family groups. It's very spacious and has everything needed for your stay.(very generous amounts of toilet paper, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets etc) The location is great as it's within reach, by foot, of the city centre, yet on the outskirts which makes it peaceful. The views of Salisbury Crags from the balconies are stunning. And the access to Arthurs Seat is just a short stroll across Holyrood Park which is behind the house. There is a large supermarket 5 mins drive away and some lovely pubs just a short taxi ride away. A great place to stay in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
