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.

Great location
We found the location to be perfect for a stay in New Town with everything in Old town within easy walking distance. The carpet was a bit worn out and there was a cigarette burn on one of the sofas in the living room. The mattresses were too old and a lumpy. The layout of the apartment was nice. We had a wonderful stay and the kitchen was clean and laid out very well with all the amenities and appliances.

Excellent location despite spiral stairs to access property
Very happy with the property, our only gripe was having to carry a large suitcase up the spiral stairs to the second floor. Smaller cases would be easier. The property is centrally located and is within walking distance of most of the attractions, shops and restaurants, with trams, buses and Waverley station close by.

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.

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.

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.

An elegant apartment in an elegant city.
The flat is elegant in furnishings and décor, and at the same time bright and comfortable. There are high ceilings, large windows, spacious rooms, and a well-equipped kitchen (which we used lightly due to the plethora of excellent food options in the immediate area). The flat occupies the front corner on the second floor (the steps are well-worth the result) of a handsome building, overlooking the intersection of two handsome streets, easily walkable to the main attractions of the city, though public transit options are readily available. The host is accommodating and responsive to questions. My wife and I were delighted to be residents here for our week in Edinburgh.

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

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.

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, Wonderful Home
We chose this home for our recent stay in Edinburgh. The home was wonderful. We loved staying in the place. The home is right in the heart of New Town, it is a historic Georgian home, but it still has the modern amenities that we needed for us to be comfortable. The views, (particularly of Edinburgh Castle), from the primary bedroom are unmatched. The home is only a short walk to just about anything. There are stores, pubs, and restaurants, in addition to parks and historic points of interest, all within easy walking distance. We did not require any form of supplemental transportation to get around. We walked (rather easily) to just about anything that we wanted to see. The home is comfortable. The living room had plenty of seating for the whole family. The kitchen has all that you need to make meals, and the dining area is plenty big for the whole family to eat together. The only thing I would note is that in the summertime, as things warm up, the lack of air conditioning may be a problem for some. We were able to open the windows in the evenings before sleeping to cool down the rooms (the flies loved coming into the home when the windows were open). All in all, it is an excellent property. If we ever travel back to Edinburgh, this will be the first place I look to for a booking.
