Holiday Rental Description

The Royal Mile stretches from the hilly city centre, right down to the even larger hills of the Crags and Arthur’s Seat (Edinburgh’s very own extinct volcano). And just six minutes from the edge of this ancient parkland, this modern home is a rather delightful contrast. The interiors are very industrial, but you’ll still find little touches of luxury. We love the lighting fixtures in the lounge and bedrooms, a web of black cords and hanging bulbs which cast a soft glow. Matching this are black metal frames on the door, shower, and bed, as well as dining chairs in the living space. Overall, this flat has a warehouse vibe which feels minimalist yet cosy, ideal for coming home to after witnessing a city steeped in history. Wander uphill after your morning coffee and stop in for some brunch on the High Street, just seven minutes away. Keep on heading to the top of this iconic mile to reach Edinburgh Castle. At just a thirteen-minute walk from home, your descent should include a stop at a traditional pub for a dram of whisky or a pint.

Home truths:
*The automated locks for building and home can be tricky to navigate – please ask your host about this and the door codes ahead of check-in
*Be prepared to climb some stairs – this home is on the second floor of the building, without a lift
*Your kitchen is more of a kitchenette, so might not be ideal for cooking up a feast
*There are no laundry facilities
*As this home has a smart lock, you'll check yourself in upon arrival. There is no reception here.
