5* Luxury Suite Central Edinburgh stunning views of Edinburgh Castle!

Still available dates for next years Edinburgh International Festival in this Stunning city- centre apartment with amazing views of Edinburgh Castle in the heart of Edinburgh. This is an amazing opportunity to be at the heart of the action for both the largest arts festival in the world, The Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh's Christmas & Hogmanay celebrations. Just minutes walk from the main venues and cultural/historical attractions, German markets, ice rink and big wheel etc for the festive hols, and surrounded by the best shopping, bars and restaurants, this is all about location, location, location! Pleasant walks can be enjoyed nearby along the Water of Leith walkway, Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens while there is convenient road access to the west leading to the city bypass, Edinburgh International Airport and central Scotland’s motorway network. Waverley Train Station is also within a short walk.

This 5 star luxury apartment has unprecedented views of Edinburgh castle and commands an extremely central location on the corner of fashionable George Street and North Castle Street. Surrounded by leading stores such as Harvey Nichol's and great restaurants and bars. It is decorated and furnished to the highest standards.

One of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! Two bedrooms - one master, (with super king-size divan) and stunning castle views. The single bedroom (but large enough for two with a single/trundle bed that coverts to an additional single) has a very comfy new bed with good length. Both bedrooms are newly equipped with acoustic glazing, so extremely quite from the street noise below.

large elegant lounge with two large windows, contemporary furnishings and decor with two comfortable sofas and a marble dining table with chairs for six with matching consul and side tables. There is a large Sony flat screen TV with access to Sky and Apple television.

State of the art Kitchen and Bathroom ( with under floor heating & steam enclosure) - limestone throughout: Fully fitted contemporary, luxury kitchen with everything you would expect of a 5 star property and bathroom. Double ended bath and steam shower, under-floor heating and limestone wet-room.

The property comes with access to the beautiful private gardens on Queen Street (residents only), just two minutes from the front door, which provides the most perfect oasis in the heart of the city. I use it for my limited jogging circuit when I'm in residence, as it's perfectly manicured and also entirely geared up for secure doggie walking. Wonderful in the Summer for festival picnics and reading the papers of a morning.

Christmas and Hogmanay (Scotlands' New Year Celebrations) also bring their own added attractions, with new events planned on George Street every year; Xmas markets and a wonderful sparkly atmosphere, enhanced by the beautiful festive street lighting. There is still availability for Christmas and Hogmanay 2023/24! The celebrations have evolved into a world class event over the years with a full daily programme designed to appeal to all tastes and age groups in the heart of the city and literally just minutes walk from the door step. Fancy a change of scene in one of the most historically beautiful city's in the world - book now to avoid disappointment! Please refer to bookings calendar for availability.

We have two luxury apartments in the building, both with the same elevation and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite ( below this one) has a more retro feel, but with classical over tones, especially in the master bedroom and kitchen. Please do contact us to enquire about a dual apartment booking, when we can offer a special rate for larger groups, special occasions, wedding parties etc.

This home charmed us from the moment we walked in the door. The charm is off the charts. The ceiling are hugely high. The beds are so comfortable. And the location is to die for. Everything you could possibly want is within extremely close walking distance. The view of the castle from the enormous bedroom windows is the icing on the cake. We have stayed at The Balmoral. We have stayed at the Witchery. Next time in Edinburgh, we will be staying at this beautiful place.

We adored our stay. Easy to walk to anything we wanted to do. Plenty of delicious restaurants and a fridge at the flat to which we could bring our leftovers and cook up the next day. The owner is extremely commutative and would help us with any questions or needs.

Wonderful Flat and Location
Great location and the flat was roomy and clean. The owner was also very communicative and willing to accommodate as our original plan had changed. The only feedback from us was the flooring. While it was likely chosen as it is sturdy, thick thatched covering, it made it difficult to walk barefoot or in socks as the fibers would poke through and irritate your feet. But if you walk around the flat with shoes or slippers with thick soles, you’d be fine.

My daughter and I stayed at Morris' flat for our week in Scotland. The apartment was as described in the listing and well appointed. The view of the castle from the flat was stunning. Morris is an excellent host and easily accessible. The location is easily accessible to many Edinburgh highlights and attractions. We appreciated the quieter location to return home to after a day of sightseeing. We found some lovely restaurants within walking distance, our favorites were Badger & Company, Copper Blossom, and Gusto. Panda & Sons is a wonderful cocktail bar.

Great location and flat
Great flat in a lovely neighbourhood. Easy check in process, realise that there is a huge flight of stairs so be prepared with luggage. Heated floors in the bathroom were dreamy, huge main bedroom and lovely living room to relax. Kitchen was functional, some instructions for the appliances would be helpful for those that are non European. Super helpful to have a washer and dryer. Flat is a 8 min walk to marks and Spencer’s and sainsburys for groceries, 10 min walk to Princes street and a 15-20 minute walk into Old Town. Perfect location for restaurants, pubs, shops, with beautiful castle view.

Great area & even better view!
This stay was perfect if you’re planning on exploring the city. Everything was with in walking distance & the view of the castle was amazing! There are two bars below the apartment that have some noise coming from them, but they close at 1am. With all the adventuring though it was quite easy to fall asleep. There is only one plug in the bathroom and it’s only for shavers so if you’re planning on getting ready with hair styling tools it cannot be done in the bathroom. But overall this stay was fantastic! Plan on coming back to Edinburgh soon!

Amazing Location
Wonderful location with easy access to transportation or walking. Great kitchen and bathroom, space to hang out at the end of the day. Good communication with owner and responsive when a few challenges occurred. A few minor updates needed like carpets and nobs on ovens - worn off and unable to operate them. But overall a super place.

Everything about this location, flat and interaction with the host was perfect. If you like a lot of space, well appointed features and tons of charm in the heart of a gorgeous city, this property is a win! It is a walk up, if you have a lot of stuff or mobility concerns, talk to the host.

Morris’s apartment is in a fantastic location with some great restaurants and bars only a few minutes walk. It’s clean and spacious and has everything you need to ensure a home from home stay in Edinburgh. Communication was quick and helpful and ensured we had a hassle free break. We will certainly be coming back and would love to stay again.

Comfortable, convenient , quiet flat!
We had an absolutely lovely stay at Morris' flat over six nights. The flat is so well equipped and extremely comfortable, quiet yet with spectacular views and close to so much. We traipsed all over Edinburgh, and returned for a drink in the Kenilworth, and for some lovely shopping at the Scottish Design Exchange, which is just around the corner from the flat. It seems that the flat no longer comes with a garden key fyi. Would love to stay there again someday.

Fantastic location
Location couldn’t have been better, within easy walking distance of Royal Mile and shops. Very large apartment and well stocked with dishware etc. Only small negatives - carpet a bit shabby, well worn and Cooker had symbols on buttons worn off and only found instructions in French. Managed to Google English ones.

Fantastic location and beautifully appointed. Comfortable beds and sofas and great shower! Acoustic glazing in the bedrooms helps with the city centre noise but I think you need to accept it’s inevitable with a location like this. So easy to explore both new and old town from here with plenty of lovely restaurants nearby. I have no doubt I’ll return at some point!

Couldn’t have asked for more.
The property was stunning and spacious. The character of the building alone spoke to me, as well as the decor and comforts. Oh, of course there is the view of the castle! The location couldn’t have been more ideal. Bars and shops were just a step away on George and Rose streets. The castle was only a 15 minute walk as well as the surrounding areas that you are in Edinburgh for. I highly recommend this stay for your next trip to Edinburgh.

Great location
This sits in the heart of the city in a building built in the 1700's. You can walk to everything from this great location. It is charming place and offers everything you need including a modern kitchen. It should be noted that there is 1 king bed in the very large main bedroom and a single bed in a small bedroom. The couches do not fold out but they can provide a roll away for a 4th person or they could sleep on the comfortable couch which is what we opted to do with our 4th person.

Edinburgh vacation
Loved this apartment. The beds were very comfortable and the place was very clean. It’s a corner apartment, and you can see a beautiful view of Edinburgh Castle. We love that there was a washer and dryer. The bathroom had heated floors and great water pressure. The kitchen was huge and my family had a nice time having breakfast in the mornings. The apartment is on the third floor (US third-floor UK second floor) and there’s no elevator, but I was made able to manage getting three people suitcases up no problem however, if you were elderly, this will be a problem

We were perfectly situated to meet up with friends at the Balmoral and others just a few blocks from the Castle. The apartment is spacious with a terrific king sized bed, awesome shower/steam shower combo and heated towel rack- in short all the amenities. I offered a few suggested updates which Morris said he was planning to undertake. We’ll be back.

Fantastic Location!
This lovely property was the perfect location for our brief stay in Edinburgh. We parked our rental car in a nearby rental lot and walked the city comfortably. The building is quiet, and the castle views are as advertised. Our host was prompt in answering our few questions. However, parts of the apartment were a bit tired: and could use some attention. I am sure that our kind host is on top of it!

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment has loads of character and is in the perfect location to see the city. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The large kitchen was great so we didn’t have to constantly eat out. Shopping, many restaurants and pubs, and the grocery store are all close. The train station and Royal Mile are just a 15 minute walk away. Also has an easy pick up spot for a taxi/Uber. There are several stairs but then….welcome to Edinburgh! Stairs are everywhere. :-) Thank you so much Morris! We would definitely stay again.
