About the owner
We have run 2 B&B in Ancrum nr Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders since 1976! We bought a flat for our daughter to live in when she studied in Edinburgh. That was way back in 99. On graduation Erica moved to London we we decided to renovate the flat and rent it out for short term holiday lets.
This was successful and in 2006 we bought Pamela's flat next door.
We meet and greet all our guests, and do all the cleaning and maintenance. You can find full details of our accommodations on our website.
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Stockbridge has a village atmosphere at the edge of the centre of Edinburgh. The town centre, Central station etc are a mere 15 minutes walk or a 5 minutes bus ride away.
It is a safe part of town: lively, but without the crowds, noise, tartan tat and general mayhem of the Royal Mile and the Old Town.
Good shops, bars and restaurants are within a 200m radius. The Royal Botanic Gardens and the Water of Leith walkway are just minutes away.
Unique benefits of the property
Pamela's flat has the advantage of open views to the south and the luxury of a secure parking garage on the ground floor. Anyone who has driven a car in Edinburgh knows what a pain and how expensive parking in the city is!
